I think the space could definitely use a bank. Or maybe another Shoppers with its windows plastered with giant photos of smiling old people blowing dandelion fluff to express their joie de vivre, as supported by a variety of pharmaceuticals.

We could bring the Northeast side of Edmonton downtown by opening up a liquor store, weed store, pizza place and a shawarma/donair place side by side.

Oh, I think we have enough of those as it stands but why the hell not?

How about 1 or 2 medical clinics? I'm hoping that ECC can surpass Westmount Mall!

There's a downtown Costco in Vancouver (with a selection of smaller condo-sized products) so it's not unheard of...

Somehow I expect the Edmonton Chamber would complain that the $1.50 hot dog is killing downtown restaurant businesses.

^^OMG Talk about breathing life to that block. That would be amazing and would completely transform this area.

This would unironically do more for Downtown revitalization than literally everything else combined

I actually wouldn't mind this haha. Maybe a Costco Business center instead of a regular Costco though. All that's missing is the Costco grey corrugated metal cladding, which would be a perffffect cladding choice for Downtown Edmonton

Architect proposes a 'tic-tac-toe' redevelopment at Edmonton City Centre

A Stantec architect with experience redeveloping aging malls in Canada said Edmonton City Centre could be repurposed in phases.

edmonton.taproot.news

Wong walked attendees through phased changes to what’s now known as The Amazing Brentwood at a former mall in Burnaby, near Vancouver. The first phase of the redevelopment was completed in 2021, and added nearly 500,000 square feet for outdoor retail, new offices, three residential towers, a plaza, and six levels of underground parking. Wong said elected officials in Burnaby and British Columbia have pushed for more density in the city, especially near LRT, and that this was a guiding force in the redevelopment.

What about a combo of these ideas...

I think the key to this building is really to remove those giant bulkheads of emptiness and have windows instead of a whole lot of nothing.
