On that note, it would be interesting to see a catalogue of "dead or near-dead office tower food courts" in Edmonton. There are probably a few that I never realized existed!

The Standard Life food court at Jasper Ave/104 St has been dead and vacant since COVID.

ATB Place food court has been mostly dead except for about 2 stalls, also due to COVID. It likely doesn't help matters that they insist on locking the lower level south entrance.

Haven't been to Canada Place since 2018, but I do remember that their food court was almost dead.

Last 1 or 2 years? I'd say it's been this way for much longer than that.

The number of people there at lunch time have been noticeable to me for the last year or two, the space has been vacant longer.

Yeah for some reason COVID sure seemed to put a real damper on hanging out in the food court and in going downtown too, but it seems to be very much in the rear view mirror now.

The renovated Commerce Place one seems to be doing ok and the also fairly new one in City Centre too. Interesting to see Williams Hall finally moving ahead and the Scotia main floor food space almost complete now looks promising.
