Kinda boring, but decent infill.

The old building had some flair, but was kind of falling apart. I think this is an improvement, but not a huge improvement.

Game changer for sure. Up to 3,000 jobs in a non oil and gas industry is huge. Not only that but this could trigger more growth in the east corridor towards Strathmore, and in the town itself.

That's the best part of this development. It was criminal that an LRT station has been surrounded by empty parking lots for the past 40 years.
