It never really got going. Here's hoping we see something take its place relatively quickly.

I wouldn't mind seeing an Earls or a Cactus Club (or another restaurant of that ilk) in the old State & Main space. Combine that with a Blenz or Deville's in the old Starbucks space and the RBC transformed into an innovation/AI centre and that intersection will be prominent again.

Baraka Cafe was there in the '90s and they closed when smoking indoors was banned. It was quite the smoky place when it was running.

Will be interesting to see what Starbucks does going forward with their new (old) CEO. They only have three locations now in the Downtown+Oliver area that aren’t in a grocery store. Pretty substantial downsizing.

I don't expect Starbucks to reverse closures in high rent locations in any city they closed down - they were not producing the revenue targets Starbucks or franchises required for the investment. Small independent coffee/tea houses are my choice when we go out for coffee.

Part of the AMII sign is going up today. I personally love the pink sign

Hopefully whoever buys it will give it a new paint job at the very least

i’m good with the pink also but fcs you’d think they could clean the spandrel panels first… it’s like a dictionary photo of lipstick on a pig.

Enbridge Tower (the old one, the cool one) is on this list. Does that mean its still a viable thing that's happening? or were the developers getting in on this grant just because they could, perhaps without planning to actually use the money?

You won't get the money without doing the work. There would be multiple conditions on these grant dollars and checkpoints or milestones to meet.
That said, here's hoping the former IPL Tower gets going for it is a blight on Jasper right now.
