I have to think that if it was to be the restaurant or the Rec Room that disclosure now would not be a problem. The bank and Simon's would want to keep things quiet until their City clearances have been achieved.
 
I think only ECC has the square footage Simons needs.

It's still feasability at this point. More than anything the large thick roughly 400mm (16") concrete floors and the massive amounts of rebar is hampering our ability to place the amount of plumbing fixtures this tenant needs. We're coming up with ideas like raising the rooms requiring lots of plumbing so we can either used pre sleeved piping connections or find a spot where we can core down, or having chase spaces that could achieve the same thing without the diffuculty of having multiple levels. I don't think they planned on these spaces being anything more than retail and office, but the tenant is eager to make this space work being in such a high visiblity location.
 
I seem to recall a conversation on here that Simons has a corporate minimum distance requirement which is part of.why Londonderry and WEM were chosen as their locations and Southgate/downtown weren't. Couldn't find it though.
 
Not even worth betting but I will say it's a bank. Why, because they pay the rates and want prime frontage. Oh and there's that thing called 'covenant'.

Would be terrible if it's a bank. Like what the hell, isn't this supposed to be Edmonton's entertainment destination? The only thing being entertained is my will to leave this city, smh.
 
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.

A very looooong time a go a little birdie who was involved tangentially with the Ice District development told me that the tentative plan was to open a "House of Blues" in one of these units, but that hope evidently died.
