Downtown Edmonton's Manulife Place gets a new name with new tenant

Downtown Edmonton's Manulife Place will be renamed National Bank Centre to honour the bank's growing presence in the building.

edmontonjournal.com

National Bank says it will begin the move after the completion of Epic’s renovations and the bank’s own renovations to the office space. The bank will grow its footprint in the building to 10 floors and, along with the new name, will feature the bank’s logo and façade crown signage and a banking centre at street level.

The renaming has a good vibe to it as well.

Maybe it will also inspire or motivate some of the big banks, a couple of which don't seem to have much of a presence downtown

Like? Servus is the only 'big bank' without a presence downtown. The rest are all located dt - RBC, BMO, Scotia, etc.

I meant more of a presence than just a branch.

You realize that these banks occupy multiple floors in buildings downtown and are not just 'retail branches'. Come on David.
