As someone who's lived here for 7.5 years and is only vaguely familiar as to why Edmonton has not annexed most of the surrounding municipalities, can someone explain to me why doesn't the city do as such? Edmonton would be a much wealthier and strategic city if they could do that (with the...

Yup or some cool underground cocktail bar.

Cool to see and I really hope someone brings some interesting concepts here to prevent this from becoming a revolving door of failed businesses. Still wish the original vision went ahead, however.

If he resigns this week I can finally pop open my champagne bottle.

Completely agree with this. The city has absolutely zero appetite in trying to turn the Rossdale Power Plant into something genuinely special and unique for the city and has been dithering around for far too long on not only the Power Plant, but the entire Rossdale plan in general. I truly...

Yeah I think that ties in with my initial post - there's just no uniform vision for Rossdale or surrounding area, which is mind boggling considering the potential this could have on the city and potentially even being our unique tourist attraction that would bring in coveted tourist dollars. I...

Definitely exciting that things are moving ahead with this one, even though it will be revised from what we initially thought. I won't lie, I'm a bit disappointed we won't likely see two taller towers here as that would give downtown a nice big city jolt, but as long as these are quality and...

I will continue to stand by my personal opinion that the redevelopment of the Rossdale Power Plant, as well as developing the surrounding empty lots, is the single biggest opportunity to transform the city. It's such a beautiful and unique building in the absolute centre of our spectacular...

I really hope leasing is strong with this one and Phase 2 can somehow start a bit sooner - I feel like the second tower is going to be the most substantial tower built in the core since the construction of Encore.

How have I never heard of Okinawa Onigiri until now? The food looks delicious and the prices are super reasonable. I will be checking this place out for lunch soon!

I've heard there's been a lot of progress being made on the former remand centre site becoming the spot for a brand new courthouse. Not sure how much merit there is in that, but I've been hearing it through the grapevine....

Well, this is a very interesting development....

This is huge news and the renderings are spectacular. This area will be transformed substantially by the end of the decade. I do wonder if this, the Parks and Warehouse District Park projects completion will entice some developers to seriously look at more residential tower projects around the...

Honestly, the full build out of this project cannot come soon enough.
