@Freedm I work for a signage company named Blanchett Neon, a company my great grandfather started back in the 40's. I am in sales and business development and are in charge of gathering leads for the company. I'm lucky to have a wide network of associations that I am able to gather and share leads with.

-Edmonton chamber of commerce,
-Edmonton construction association,
-Edmonton executive association
-Northern Alberta shopping center association
-Alberta signage association
-Canadian signage association
-Young professional network of Canada (YPN)

RBC is buying a large portion of Commerce Place with Quadreal.

So presumably they would subsequently also move into Commerce Place?

^ ^^. All those sales could translate into freed up funds for the seller/developer to move ahead with other projects. It's a big vote of confidence in our market from international investors. Further, I hope that ECC Mall gets a complete urbanization to include; an activated pedestrian realm, the ugly parkade demo'd , residential, a stuning redesign,...

This is good news for ECC and downtown, as Oxford no longer has to worry about competing against itself drawing potential shoppers away from Kingsway.

Not a big fan of Humford on the non-retail/office side, but perhaps the new owners will attract new retail.

Energy Square building is in the process of being purchased by a well known downtown developer. I will share more details when I can.

That's great news. Maybe another conversion? I have always loved its gold skin, especially since loosing the gold on Scotia Place. I hope if there are any exterior changes in the future that the color remains.

JLL was marketing it as a conversion so I hope it happens there's some nice land behind it which could possibly open up the same idea that Strategic has done down the way.

No. This is part of the partnership that QuadReal formed with RBC Global Asset Mgmt that was announced earlier this year.

Which building are you referring to?

 

[OverheardatYEG]

Which building are you referring to?

The one being marketed as a conversion was energy square (10109 106 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 3L7) and the one being completed now down the way is Centre West conversion.
