Possible? Yes. Probable and within what time frame? My probability estimate is low that 3 happen within the next 10 years. 1. Westrich has the one that from what I have been told will likely go forward within the next 3-4 years, economics depending. 2. Affordable storage was sold/is for sale...

I looked through the city's development permits. There is no permit for construction of that tower.

Unfortunately, I agree. I pulled up Explore Edmonton's website and I am not able to determine what purpose "Why Edmonton?" fills that is not done by Explore Edmonton. It almost seems to duplicate the efforts of Explore Edmonton except it doesnt do it as well. https://exploreedmonton.com/...

In bold - yes. See my comment in post #836. Calgary's profile is bigger because the City pushes, their Chamber of Commerce pushes, so does Invest Alberta and the government of AB, and Edmonton gets little to none of that.

I hate to say this because I know what response I am going to get from some on here but the main reason for Edmonton dropping in tech related job growth and Calgary having more is.............wait for it..................Calgary is gobbling up a lot more of the tech companies that are choosing...

https://edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/smith-to-address-edmonton-chamber-of-commerce-for-first-time-since-election Did anyone catch Smith's speech at the Edmonton Chamber today? Anything of worthy or same empty platitude BS of "we support economic growth"?

I saw this on CBC. Apparently its been around since 2022, which is ironic given if the intention of this is to boost the profile of Edmonton both internally and externally yet I have seen nothing about this organization on this or other forums, LinkedIn, the internet, etc. in its 1+ year existence.

What do refugees and non-binary people look like?

Haha oh boy there was an entire discussion on this somewhere in another thread. Long story short, the city of Edmonton, as a city, is acting as a developer on projects such as Blatchford. If you think of governance and management of city bodies acting as a developer is not one of them for many...

I dont know if people recognize how alarming or unique this is. My property on 104st, one of the more "premier" streets in Edmonton has devalued considerably since I purchased it in 2014. We have had billions of investment in the arena district to make an entertainment area and the downtown as...

There seems to be a massive disconnect between what is allowed and what is actually enforced downtown. And I am not just referring to parking lots, but your comment reinforces my thoughts. Whether its operating parking lots without a permit or allowing a developer to leave their lot in poor...

Calgary definitely gets its share of blue collar industrial type jobs and the necessary construction jobs too. For example, Green impact Partners is building a $1.2B ethanol plant in Calgary, de Havilland is building their aircraft manufacturing plant with 1,500 full time jobs just east of...

You know what would be great, not just stopping at eliminating parking minimums, but actually following through at a City level to eliminate the oversupply of redundant parking especially downtown. The number of impark lots that at best look to be 40% full at peak that could not have their...

What a pathetic yet predictable response. Confirms that we can expect more of the status quo moving forward.

I wonder, does Scamerjeet Sohi take transit to work? Does he have to take the LRT at 9pm? Its always fun and easy to say "every week, 1.5 million trips are taken on transit and the vast majority are safe" until you become the statistic that's stabbed. This isnt a situation where "vast...

I left Edmonton because there were better and more jobs in engineering and finance and many in my network did the same upon graduation from the U of A. I came back to Edmonton last year not for professional reasons (coming back to Edmonton for a finance role is career killing) and I had a hard...

On this point, for all the hoopla we have heard about increasing policing and presence....I walk around downtown all day every day living downtown and I do not see beat cops. I do not see cops on bikes, I do not see them walking, I do not see them stopping off at the cafes or restaurants on...

Here's the thing though, Calgary also gets its share of blue collar industrial type jobs and the necessary construction jobs too. Just for example, Green impact Partners is building a $1.2B ethanol plant in Calgary, de Havilland is building their aircraft manufacturing plant with 1,500 full time...
