Great to see this space activated.

@cmd uw Now if only we could get all that surface parking around it activated...

Agree 110%. Those empty parking lots are such an eyesore. I hope in my lifetime something is done with them.

Downtown is finally getting a pet store! a Pet Valu at Canterra Centre. I'm guess from the address and details that it's the former Mongolie Grill.

I would prefer for this not to be in such a high profile CRU, but I'm happy to see that space finally leased. It's been empty for at least a couple of years now

New Edmonton City Club
Interesting!! I got a card in the mail today for this new Edmonton City Club. Seems that this is being planned by the group that used to run the old Edmonton Petroleum Club. They want to "debut " this year. They say the location hasn't been finalized yet but that the Club's Board "has identified options within the downtown City Centre area". Anyone else heard of this? I wonder what locations they are considering downtown. Stantec podium? The old Centre Club on 102 St/103 Ave (previously Stantec office space)?

Yes, I've had some conversations with them and it sounds very promising, though being operational this year is not likely going to happen...

They should really be taking the Canada permanent building on 100st. It's made for that. I also feel the club would bring back nice life to this building. If @Abba or @JN01 either of you know someone part of the organizing committee. It should be mentioned to them.

If there's one building Downtown that I really, really, really want to see occupied it's this one.

@OverheardatYEG agree. This proposed Edmonton City Club (ECC) would be an ideal tenant for this building. Not sure how much space the ECC Board is looking for but Canada Permanent (CP) might not have enough. If they are looking for a roughly "like for like" (in terms of square footage) replacement for the old Petroleum Club then CP may be too small. I don't know how large the old Petroleum Club was but it had a fair sized footprint and three floors (incl. basement). CP has 12-13,000 sq feet, I think. Primavera's Brighton Block would be cool as well. I think it has about 35,000 sq feet in total. ECC could be neighbours with @archited .

Unfortunately, reminds me of the farmers market here in a way.

@westcoastjos, just curious as to your reasons why you feel that way about the DT market?

Maybe not the best example. Another would be the grocery store and coffee shop that closed up on 99 St for the Bateman towers that have yet to materialize. It simply means that gentrification isn't all good. There are pros, but there are definite cons. Parts of Brooklyn NY have been impacted by it and I could see the Quarters doing the same down the road. 104 Street has done the same. Real estate is horrendously expensive and it makes it hard for small business owners to make it. The farmers market just packed up for stability I am sure.

The Beaverton is satire for anyone that doesn't know.
