Well, I guess none of the runner-ups were willing to give it a go for that gorgeous retail space... damn demic!
I actually think it would be cool for Rohit to run another "The Cut" contest this Spring as originally it was very creative and great marketing for all involved.
As the end for this damn demic slowly approaches, Rohit could just rebrand the contest from "The Cut" to "Cut the Mask Party"? Whew!

Stadium Yards is looking for a retail tenant to occupy 1200-2500sf in Edmonton's newest downtown community! The newly completed space fronts onto a new urban park and is located directly across from Commonwealth Recreation Centre, Commonwealth Stadium, and The Edmonton River Valley. The...

Yup.

Unfortunate timing, for we could have had Jack's Burger Shack or Avila Arepa's offshoot along with a solid independent coffee joint... but I have doubt that it is just a matter of time given the amount of infill and lack of walkable options.
 
I took some pictures of the project the other day.

I think people have already begun moving in? I saw someone park in the underground parkade, and a UPS truck stopped at the curb while the driver went inside with a package.

It's a nice walk from Stadium Yards to the Stadium LRT station. There's pretty landscaping, benches, and a garbage can (on the station's side). Although, I think there should be a garbage can at the other end as well, because I can't imagine everyone will seek that garbage can out.

Rohit is a greenfield developer and home builder, so this being their most prominent infill to date so I'm sure there was a serious emphasis on building something quality and prominent versus cheap crap.

Also, speaking of those remaining buildings, lets just all hope the land underneath the Canadian Linen building isn't contaminated.

there may be some issues but linens buildings are not typically as problematic or as difficult to clean as dry cleaning plants.

the issues are also different with the dry cleaning plants usually contaminated with various chlorinated solvents.

linens buildings are usually limited to some hydrocarbons from vehicle storage and repair and some cleaning supplies. the largest concern is anaerobic bacteria (and other potential bio-hazards) if they have been handling a lot of hospital or medical linens. the issue with some of those contaminants is that they can be reasonably hardy in soils and water.

Your fountain of knowledge knows no limit aside from proper capitalization. Appreciate the insight!!

Sounds very promising for further development :D
 
I like the look but for the life of me I can not understand why we have to run HVAC up the outside of a new building. A reno I understand but god did someone not look at the drawings and say I need a couple of feet indoor to run the mech. It doesn't take that much away from revenue.

I know they're prepping for phase 2, but did they say yet which piece of land phase 2 is on?

If I were a betting man, I'd say the vacant sites, 8450 and 8490 106A Avenue NW on the west side of 106A Avenue adjacent to the LRT line (they're currently being used for construction storage). There is a rezoning application in for those lots as well to amend some signage requirements in the existing DC1 zoning.
