What the crux of what you’re saying Ian? Is that our rental market is so high that OEG recalled all these sales and wants to turn them into rentals and that they can’t wait to get started on new rental towers?

The office portion of the tower has been sold iirc? Maybe the new owners would prefer to manage the entire property instead of being stuck with abnb, monthly and condo owners rentals and Katz can sell that part of the tower off and use the $ to build something else (MacLac"s comment)?

Random Observation; every time I've walked through Stantec post-Oilers game this year, it smells faintly like sewage in the lobby. Hope it doesn't result in the building needing major work one day.

I have been there regularly during the day and haven't noticed any problem ever. I wonder if its somehow an evening problem.
 
I never noticed this signage until today!

Imo, it's just pointless to compare ourselves to Calgary at this point in terms of the scale of urban development. The two cities used to be similar once upon a time, but it's obvious that Calgary is in another class than Edmonton in terms of significance and investment. There's things this city can and should take after, but Edmonton is doing its own thing now and that's okay.

Doing 'your own thing' is absolutely fine, if it's fine.

Exactly, so if we can get some better architectural and urban design for our mid-rise projects here (wink wink), and 6-8 storey buildings keep popping off in and around downtown, we might have something going here :)
