How much has One Properties contributed to downtown revitalization? It was suggested just a few posts ago the city covered the upgrades to publicly owned spaces. The towers aren't revitalization. They are gentrification. One Properties and Katz are making a fortune from the developments and also selling to real estate funds that don't give two shits about Edmonton.
