UnderstandUs has moved into the last vacant main floor spot on the block, in between the new Mortise and Tenon location and the new Cub clothing store. Wasn't able to see too much of the inside, but it appears they have a few racks of clothing moved in.

With Cub, UnderstandUs, and Gud Eats moving in, all main floor spaces on the block are now full. Appears that the basement space at 2419 11th Ave is still vacant, and some of the 2nd floor spaces may be vacant, as I am only aware of X-ray records and Payl clothing having 2nd floor spaces.

Very exciting to see this block go from essentially empty to full in the span of a year or two. Excited to see if this means new commercial construction on the NW side of downtown as a vast majority of commercial spaces are now full.

Would love a complete overhaul and redevelopment of the Empire Hotel chunk at Albert and Sask Drive with retail and a new Hotel tower to compliment the restaurants and shops of that portion of 11th Avenue.
