... and more importantly the featured show does not get daytime glare from the sun. Still visible from certain offices in EPCOR.

I think this a brilliant move by Katz & Co. -- creates wonderment at street level; provides another downtown venue for music and performance; a site specific testing ground to establish parameters for the future square/plaza planned for Phase 2; another revenue source for the ICE District; encourages more Retail, Office and Residential development participation in the downtown core. The lessons were there to learn from the Ghermezians and WEM -- good that ICE was paying attention. Qualico might learn from this as well. Positive results all around.

I noticed that they re-oriented the layout. This way nobody can watch from the Edmonton tower.

that might also be a noise mitigation/measure (and unwanted/excessive noise is becoming - and should be - a bigger and bigger issue as we bring on more and more events).

Sustainival got fairly busy this evening. It was pretty enjoyable overall and not too pricey, I would recommend it. A day pass online was $40.

Pic was taken right at opening time:

The Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Challenge starts tomorrow and looks like teams are already practicing:

Not the most elegant, but beggars can't be choosers.

They are making quite an effort to use what would otherwise likely be a totally empty space here, so I appreciate that and commend them for it.

I wish other downtown property owners would make as much effort.

Sure, but from the looks of it, that experience is pretty subpar.

Efforts should be rewarded, but so too minimum bars.

Pretty small amount of seating (unless more has yet to be added). Me and my SO are looking at attending, but not sure how much of an atmosphere there will be... Hopefully there will be some food & drink options

More will be added, tomorrow is the first day and they’ve been setting up more throughout the day after I took the photo.

Things were looking pretty cool at court level.

Those pics do look good at court level. Just some extra dressing up and stands and all should be good.

To be honest, seeing this, I would love to see Katz take the entire 1/2 block directly north along with his current holdings and build along the parameter leaving the central area as Rogers outdoor sports park for events like this or skate boarding etc.

Quite the difference a well-positioned camera makes.

The tower being built there in the first photo, is that the parks or falcon tower? Or is it a whole other project entirely?
