Was speaking with a friend tonight who works for a large, well known employer downtown and I was told that when their lease is up in exactly one year they will be leaving downtown and are taking up office space on the south side due to safety reasons. All employees at the firm were surveyed...

Huh, you mean a developer that hasn't been able to get the Emerald started since 2016, has not been able to sell nor develop a prime piece of land in the downtown core of major Canadian city, and is struggling to execute on the full build of East Junction is having some difficulties? If you have...

I am in the same boat. Living on 104th, I have had enough of the vandalism, the harrassement, the urine and garbage around our building, stepping over bodies at our front entrance, etc. No, it isnt all bad but in too many instances the bad continues to outweigh the good and I am considering...

Thank you, much appreciated.

Believe me, I do. I report these instances to 311, I report the homeless who pee on our entranceway door, I report, I report, I report to the point that these reports are just a game of individual whack-a-mole.

Beaver Hills FULL of garbage, a microwave (?), clothes, and patches of dirt and gravel, and of course the standard shirtless homeless camps that are parked on top of the waterfall and tucked in the back behind Pablo. Truly a shame for those that want to actually enjoy the park in the small...

This is the type of complementary-to-historic development stuff you get to see in cities like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and even Winnipeg. Alas.

Rise Republic still coming soon in Summer 2022. Meanwhile this, and the other Fox 2 bays remains completely empty and devoid of any activity 6+ years and counting. Laughably I heard through the grapevine that the developer was looking for a loan based on stabilized CRUs in the commercial lol...

No need to get defensive man. I offered a statistically objective reason to the survey that was an alternative to your self-pity statement "Of course this chart doesn't include Edmonton, which sadly often seems left out of supposed national surveys"

Given that this topic is being posted in the downtown thread, perhaps it wasnt because someone decided to ignore Edmonton and maybe more had to do with the fact that each of those downtowns has significantly more downtown workers than Edmonton and the survey used a threshold of workers downtown...

YEG was also given up to $15M specifically to subsidize and attract new routes. Have the results of that $15M effort been made public?

Was eating dinner last night with a large group at Pazzo Pazzo on 103 ave. While we were eating, some patrons entering the restaurant came in saying that a young guy in his 20s was outside harassing them and threatening to stab them. A couple minutes later the guy from outside hurled a large...

No chance, if its the UCP its Calgary or bust.

Any idea what/who is going to fill this space? I havent heard of any leasing activity with it so I am hoping this doesnt site vacant or 50% vacant for the foreseeable future.

I saw recently that YEG is looking to hire a Director of Hydrogen: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3623806063 I am going to be honest, I really really wish YEG would focus more on core services such as airline/route recruitment and airport facility improvements (have you seen how dated the...

Uhhh ok?

Yes, down both ways. I don't know that I have ever seen only one side out of commission.

Was at YEG today down at gate 68 next to the moving walkways and they were down again. I would have to say that since that side of the terminal opened (10 years ago?) I have seen that walkway out of service significantly more than in service. What gives? At this point just spend the $$$ to fix...

Interesting to hear its another steak space given the recent announcement of Vons moving downtown too. Does this mean we are getting two new steak restaurants downtown this summer or was the previously reported move of Vons to the State and Main space actually here in the McLeod space?

Last I heard was that it was the Corso group for the entire space who had a unique vision that was different than their Uccellino and Bricco concepts.
