I don't think it has been mentioned in this thread, but ID Authentics is expanding into the space immediately north of their current space. It looks like they are almost doubling in size. Construction looked to be almost complete when I was in there last week.

Let's hope they use the exterior door facing the plaza this time....

(though I'm not holding my breath)

That's good news and nice to see.

Honestly, get a full-service Earls-Cactus-ShakeShack-Local in the old Rexall and this area will finally have a vibe.

Also a place to grab a coffee that’s open late (Deville, Blenz, even a SB) would be great.

Paris Baquette did Whyte and WEM. Maybe they could do downtown.

BEHOLD

They are consolidating the existing 3 CRUs in the NE corner of Block BG into one large CRU, so maybe they have a specific tenant in mind... Application says 'to accomodate a future tenant', so could be the case.

This development requires....A SACRIFICE.

One Properties just posted a new March 2025 leasing brochure for Ice District which shows the new consolidated Unit B. Listed as "available" though, but hopefully they have someone and it's just not official enough yet. https://oneproperties.com/assets/Properties/ICE-District-Retail/Ice-District-Brochure-March-2025.pdf

Dollars to donuts it will be a bank.

How the final two EF units fronting the plaza have not been leased is beyond me. Wouldn't it be wise to slightly lower lease rates, get an Earls or a Keg in, and watch them thrive?

Shake Shack in one of those two units would make a killing.

I'd also love to see a live music venue with a large patio that opens onto the plaza similar to what many of the country bars in Nashville have where the music spills out into the public space outside.

Those aren't the good odds they used to be

Earls used to have a location right downtown many years ago but now seems to have a very suburban focus and feel, at least in Edmonton. They should be here, but I wonder if they are up to it.

The Keg had talked about a more central location before and could make more sense here. Its unfortunate this space was completed around the time COVID hit which hit downtown activity particularly hard.

 

[johnnyboy]

^ Yes, I believe The Keg had looked at Unity Square or Brewery District right before COVID IIRC - anyone know what happened there? (probably COVID...)

The tenant will be taking Unit B and the entirety of the remaining available 2nd floor space on the NE corner above.
