Looks like they have nothing in the pipe for Edmonton, aside from the Paramount project.

Its too bad the facility is not being put to more use while it languishes,waiting for redevelopment, possibly for years.

In my opinion, this is one of the properties that should fall under the city's new tax class for dilapidated properties. Does it?
Edit, it should as per the city's website for being boarded up and abandoned:

The City is establishing a new tax subclass that will allow the City to charge owners of derelict properties a higher tax rate in 2024.

It has lofty, unrealistic ambitions to become a residential property but currently is just yet another empty building in the core.
The difference between the Paramount & Dwayne's is that people lived at Dwayne's Home, nobody's ever lived at the Paramount. Because the Paramount isn't a residential property. It's not unfit for habitation because of neglect, it's because it's a goddamn movie theatre.

It was closed due to safety/core issues. Hence why it hasn’t been used.
Would be incredible to get this one going though. Badly needed.

I didn't hear anything in that radio interview from February about Dwayne's Place.
Given that this is in Stevenson's ward & an issue she's familiar with, I'll take her statement from earlier this week as being factual in the absence of something concrete.

I am not disputing what is correct or not.
I am referencing where I read the info, if that is not correct I am not disputing that. Next.

Would be interesting to know what condo project in Edmonton has been classified as derelict and is paying 3x property tax.
