Avison Young Q4 report:

Some very interesting mentions:
#15: 104 St...I assume this is the parking lot north of Birks?
#19: Commerce Place II

Historic Garneau streetlight shines again

Robert Geldart stands beside the refurbished 1929 lamppost.

Perched at the south end of the High Level Bridge, the city's most historically significant lamppost - and likely one of its most expensive - has been restored to its former glory.

The five-metre-high, stone-based post topped by five lamps was designed and built by noted sculptor Frank Norbury in 1929, and is the only structure of its kind on Edmonton's list of historic resources, Robert Geldart, the city's principal heritage planner, said Sunday...

I thought the structure for a second Commerce was not complete because they couldn't touch the CIBC building?

^I believe the rest of the u/g structure is there though...

As for the other Melcor project, it is a wicked little infill.

That would be my guess as well, but why wouldn't they put it on the smaller property behind Quest?

Also, why wouldn't you lease a space rather than do a trailer.

God tell me that is only on the second floor and up.

No retail there is a total waste.

I sure hope those aren't 100% accurate renders, otherwise this already mediocre project has taken another step backwards from this...

(the Epcor Tower part, the podium I like the WE rendering better)

Anyone know if the 2 storey structure on the corner will be built to accommodate a tower addition in the future? If not, it should be. What a small investment now, for a potential huge payoff later.

I somehow highly doubt it though.
