There have been adventurous proposals for this site before... maybe this time.

With more of the nearby Stationlands going ahead now, this seems like a logical site to develop soon.

Anyone know where the "contaminated CRL sites" are?

Also if anyone else wondered:

3. Edmonton Belvedere CRL established in 2013 and concludes in 2032
4. Cochrane South-Central CRL established in 2013 and concludes in 2032
5. Edmonton Capital City Downtown CRL established in 2015 and concludes in 2034
6. Airdrie Downtown CRL established in 2023 and concludes in 2042

Can probably throw a dart at a map and hit one. There was historical industrial land uses and gas stations all over downtown at one point.

According to the Business Census, the municipal borders of downtown got an increase from 1,576 recorded businesses in 2023 to 1,632 businesses in 2024. Employment growth of 62,614 employees in 2023 to 69,353 in 2024. Good increase all around and probably why downtown feels busier last year.

It's worth noting that this isn't universal - and it reflects how rapidly Edmonton is attracting investment in comparison to national averages.

Not a big change for the number of business, but definitely an improvement. My sense is the number of people visiting downtown has also increased by much more than the number of businesses.
