Dalla for lunch with a couple folks yesterday; it was delicious, quite busy and such a wonderful addition to the area.

Hit up Sherlock's with another friend for a pint of the black stuff. It was packed with soccer fans watching another game.

Bodega for pre-game tapas and cava to celebrate a friend's recent accomplishment. Nice to see Sabor open, somewhat busy and adding life back to 103st. Still believe it is the place to beat DT.

Very pleased to welcome two iconic hospitality groups to the Canapen family of tenants as a result of our acquisition of a strategic land parcel in downtown Edmonton. Our team looks forward to working with Gary Tomchuk and Richard Gauthier of Sherlock Holmes Hospitality Group, and Carmelo Rago and Frank Saccomanno of Sorrentino’s Restaurant Group as we move on from pandemic restrictions and toward a brighter and more prosperous 2022.

The Sorrentino's group does BUCO as well.

Wonder what this is all about?

'strategic land parcel'

'strategic land parcel'

Likely this area:

Melcor still owns the little office tower though, no?

'strategic land parcel'

read: parcel of land that we'll strategically rezone, bulldoze, flip and sell.

Given that Rosewood, Sorrentinos and Artworks are operating out of this building, that likely ain't happening.

Canapen likely saw this as a longer-term hold for both provide amenity and desirability to their property (PM) and Melcor's.

Yup

So Edmonton and Calgary are fairing far better than the rest of Canada according to the map.
