100% And it can't even be argued that it's a unique location with things to do, because DT has the same stuff, or more—concerts, bars, sports, casino, restaurants, spas. I guess you can't have a cigar bar DT, but other than that, does RC have anything that really sets it apart?

Another thing downtown has is hundreds of empty hotel rooms…oh wait but let’s not let reality get in the way of our dreams for a new hotel. Look up the Alberta gov website for hotel occupancy and you can see that downtown Edmonton is one of the worst performing regions. Here’s July and August last year. What am I missing that is leading people to believe we are in desperate need of a new downtown hotel?

I don't think anyone's hurting to find a reasonable hotel room in Edmonton, downtown or otherwise. Vancouver on the other hand...

I guess it could turn out that way, but I envision this turning into another Currents of Windermere, or ESC but with a gold tower. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Will 14 be housing?

I’m surprised they don’t have more residential towers or like a mid rise Main Street

Eagle will be doing some 6 storey residential buildings near the Costco on Tsuut’ina lands, so maybe in the future we see something here as well
