I wouldn't be surprised if they do move out of their Jasper Ave location and put that building up for sale.

That would be a good move -- that building would be better served as a hospitality/retail combo something akin to what the McDavids are doing.

Oil fans? Hence the Orange chairs?

Theirs is smaller, but feels better year round when you don’t have a few thousand to fill it. Ours can sure feel desolate.

It's a reminder that we need more bars/restaurants.

If you think for 1 second that we’re NOT keeping up with the Peg…..than you are misinformed……

If you want vibrancy, you need people living nearby.

That's why the luxury offerings at Stantec and JW are not enough.

They should never have skipped on the condo/rental tower. That's the key piece missing here to support retail and hospitality.

Oh?

Oh?

Would love to see but I'm not holding my breath.

Katz was granted a decent tax break if the originally planned apartment had been built (it was one of the 10 housing projects approved in 2021 for tax deferral). But then he pivoted with the CWB tower that then fell through. So that money was left on the table so to speak.

But it looks like he is back in line and seems to be the top choice of province and city for new public dollars. Although this time, I'm thinking this council won't be playing ball on the proposed deal as it is.

Sorry…..friendly reminder to myself NOT to post after the Oil lose….also - I despise YEG being compared to the Peg…..
