Lies. Lorne Gunter told me this was a woke boondoggle!!

Seeing it all laid out like this for others is why I'm extremely bullish about downtown. Those are the just the projects with financial incentives attached. Who knows if we're getting more that aren't eligible but still go ahead. Ice Village is going to keep trucking along in some capacity as...

Oh boy, now the fun part, speculating which projects are going to start because of the funding.

We're getting close to an inflection point downtown. We have almost 3000 residential units in either construction or development permit stages, and that's not even counting the possible projects from the Student Housing Fund, the future Attainable Housing Incentive and whatever else comes down...

:( now you got me worried I got everyone's hopes up lol

Build new bridge and keep the old one with a year round tram service pls

Only reason I found about it was a CBC Calgary article talking about how amazing and great Calgary's job scene was with their head office employment, only to find out it's only rebounded to 2015 levels. Got curious how Edmonton fared expecting much worse, but we've gone past 2015 levels with...

Walked by yesterday and it seems like the impark lot is closed off now, and we got excavators on site.

StatsCan released some head office count numbers and while we're behind in terms of employment numbers and head office numbers compared to Calgary, there's some interesting patterns since 2015. It's small numbers but head office employment for YEG increased significantly since 2020.

RTO is great (despite my own opinions on it) for an immediate daytime boost to vibrancy and retail viability. I just don't think more effort and political effort should be spent chasing more of that when downtown's future should be emulating Vancouver where their financial core has a...

Would this be in the DP stage already?

Yeah those original two towers would've been amazing for the skyline. I'm hoping that since it's Autograph, it becomes a pretty gorgeous 6 storey block. CRUs would be great too, especially since it's facing the LRT.

We won't know till we see the LRT numbers, but it's probably going to take some time for some who were driving to switch over to transit full time. Nothing convinces you to take the LRT more than getting stuck at traffic for 1.5 hours in both directions. Anecdotally, the trains were much busier...

Yeah, most of our residential growth has been in the suburbs over the last 10 years. It's not until last year that we've finally seen good movement in both mature infill and downtown residential units. Plus I wonder how much of that vacancy is just City Centre Mall.
