1. Nobody celebrates having a BP's.
2. A Remedy Cafe could be a nice fit.
3. How about a wee sports pub to play off of Commonwealth and the vast amount of new immigrants in the area who might want to see cricket or soccer matches?

This would be great in that neighbourhood.

While nobody celebrates having a BPs, I don't think an urban format BPs with a nice patio would be bad if they ever decided to build something like that instead of the parking lot beacons they currently are. I am a sucker for the bandera pizza bread.

IMO my dream is that this building isn't torn down but instead retrofitted into a brew pub

I love that idea!!

While we are dreaming about the possibilities of the neighborhood. Someday I would love to see the courtyard of the Red Brick city of Edmonton yard be rehabbed into an amazing outdoor/indoor market. The layout is perfect and the brick is gorgeous.

'tis a beautiful building. This better not be lost

As long as the "KEEP EDMONTON WEIRD" Instagrammable wall art is there, this building won't ever be torn down!

^ Thankfully it's a registered historic building, buddy of mine who works out of that building for the City said it used to be like an iron shop + stables.

The City actually operates out of a couple interesting old buildings, like their O'Keefs yard by the Kinsmen, which used to be a brewery

This was mentioned in the Miscellaneous thread already, but can you imagine the nearby EPCOR parking lot being transformed into a couple of highrises?

Put up a few more cheeky/faux vintage brick commercial buildings around this, maybe a couple residential towers, a couple pieces of public art, and you've got Edmonton's version of the Toronto Distillery District.

I could see the Canadian Linen And Uniform Service building be transformed into a food/pub/nightclub/entertainment mecca

The Affordable Storage Centre can stay as-is but they really need to do something about their ghastly parking lot!

Turn this into - well, anything other than this!

Stadium Yards 3, anyone? Or are there plans for this already?

That is the 3rd phase of Stadium Yards. It's currently the work yard for phase 2. I believe it is 2 or 3 similar buildings to phase 1. That's the one I am hoping for a pub in!

Phase 3 better have at least a few commercial units! I'll be sorely disappointed if they don't create some units that are directly visible from the station, it would be an enormous missed opportunity.
