Edmonton can sustain 2 stores. Apparently Simons in Park Royal had a fire in-store a few weeks ago? anywhere hear about if it was bad or what happened?

I mean they do seem to want to be in the long haul for their projects so it would really need to tank for them them to dump it. Worst case maybe they could find some way to lower their footprint from 100K sq feet.

Apparently the plan in Toronto still involves street-level retail with smaller units, but yes, point taken.

So can someone explain to me WTF that rendering of the "River Marriott Hotel and Residences" showing a ~57 storey tower is about?

There's something weird happening with the PCL logo as well.

And you can see that drawing on the wall when they are seated later in the reel.

Just a rough count of the podium/levels from a screenshot (in case they take it down)

Dallas Watt Demo is part of the BMGroup (BMG).
But its website does not use the green yellow PCL colours.
The podium on that tower rendering doesn't look like Pacific Centre.

Yeah I have no idea why it would be in the meeting room during the demo phase either. Weird.

"Gemini Project"? Drives me batty when projects have code names that I can't decipher.

Does CF plan on announcing the other two retailers for the Nordstrom space every 6 weeks or so to keep interest up?

Hoarding is up on Granville.
This entrance is directly behind the bus shelters and will have zero visibility for a main entrance.

Let's hope that idea is dead. Why delay the busses in the heavy traffic on Seymour.

The Granville Street Plan was approved less than a year ago. We'll see how buses work out on Seymour and Howe over an extended period as there will be a pedestrian zone for five weeks starting next month, during the World Cup.

The long term plan is still to permanently run the buses on Howe and Seymour.
