Got bored so I scrounged up a pretty recent CBRE investment report posted two days ago. Here's the PDF (https://mktgdocs.cbre.com/2299/933985cc-bfaf-4495-a6bf-5e7593817be9-1498070297.pdf). I'll share some screenshots below that pertain Edmonton too.

Here's Calgary for comparison I guess?

Okay so Boredom Post#2, I think we all remember seeing the CBRE report/article that had Edmonton go down places in comparison to 2022. I finally found their Tech Talent Analyzer that had job numbers based on employment fields.

Here's a few other Canadian cities that are on the list. (including Quebec City, which took our place on the list for 2023 I believe).

But this info contradicts what Ian’s pals proclaimed at a really important Banff conference he attended?

Not sure the exact details but Dev Facto, a relatively successful tech consulting firm founded here, appears to have been acquired(?) by a US based tech group

What are we thinking here? An official announcement for the new facility at the Research Park? But I know API put out an announcement 2 weeks ago?

 

[occidentalcapital]

I would guess more of an entity headquartered elsewhere opening an office or facility here?

 

[MacLac]

Maybe a new massive “tech jobs” announcement??

Not as earth shattering as I was hoping…..

Bio-Hub! Bio-Hub! Bio-Hub!!!

Hmmmm….on second thought, maybe this isn’t the “funding announcement” - this is merely an HQ announcement…2 different birds. I’m betting there will actually be many announcements this week during “Life Science Week.”

 

[occidentalcapital]

Overall this is a nice announcement for Edmonton. Keep it up.

Is there any indication where they might put their HQ? Could be a nice lil boost if it does end up downtown. Isn’t there one or two already located downtown?
