Saw some speculation about @HoltRenfrew & #yegdt last week. The following from company PR. #yeg #yegretail

^ Note the clever wording: "current plans". Which doesn't necessarily mean "future plans as of Sept 1"

They've done a couple short term deals over the past few years. I don't think they know what they want to do long term

Maybe I'll just polish off that bottle of open champale and keep another one in reserve?

The Board Room men's spa in Commerce Place has been closed for a couple of weeks now - sign on door says "due to unforseen circumstances". Anyone know what happened? I hope they reopen, I still go there a couple of times a year to get some work done on myself.

Edmonton getting Saks Off 5th outlet store
Luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue is opening its first Edmonton Saks Off 5th outlet store in September as part of a major expansion across Canada.

The 3,000-square-metre shop in South Edmonton Common will offer some of the 800 brands in the chain’s lineup, the company says in a news release.

Full Story (Edmonton Journal)

MEC is also opening soon at South Common, in case it hasn't been mentioned
Looks to be in the old Sears Home space

Hallsy's Toupee · #**1434** Posted **May 28, 2016, 1:23 AM**

Looks like the Board Room has closed in Commerce Place. Sad, I was going in once a year get some work done on myself. But maybe that space and the departing KPMG can be used for one large retailer like Simons.

Coldrsx · #**1435** Posted **May 30, 2016, 9:31 PM**

One of the better new CRU spaces... ruined.

The reception desk can see out, that's about it...

When will people get it? Also, this is in contravention of the zoning bylaw...

Coldrsx · #**1436** Posted **May 30, 2016, 9:50 PM**

from the Zoning Bylaw...

Transparency

The ground floor level portion of the façade abutting a Public Roadway, other than a lane, shall be comprised of transparent, non-reflective, non-tinted, non-obscured glazing.

Bylaw 16733
July 6, 2015

Blank walls or non-transparent surfaces on buildings with non-Residential Uses shall not exceed 6.0m in width, except if the surface is designed to accommodate Public Art, then the maximum width shall be no wider than 10.0m

rapid_business · #**1437** Posted **May 30, 2016, 9:52 PM**

If in contravention with the bylaw, what repercussions are there?

Coldrsx · #**1438** Posted **May 30, 2016, 9:57 PM**

Bylaw enforcement - removal or fine is my guess.
