To add to this the last small retail bay in First will apparently be a dental office and the developer has told residents that they are targeting a dining option of some kind for the corner retail bay across from Simmons building. Nothing crazy exciting but all essentials for any neighbourhood. The Loblaws/Shopper's Drug Mart in the Riocan development will be game changing for the neighbourhood when it finally opens up!
Correct!
I also believe their is a 'Frilly Lily' going into Evolution. Not sure how much space all those tenants in Evolution will take up, but I suspect there will be quite a bit of space remaining for other yet-to-be-announced tenants.
I'm still surprised to see nothing has located within the 5 live-work units across from the Simmons.
There was an article in the Herald about the signature dome in the ATB building downtown being repainted. The article mentions that ATB is vacating the entire building and that the new tenants wanted to paint over the original mural. Anyone know who these new tenants might be?? That corner has always been dead day and night because it's 3 banks and none of them offer any sort of interaction with the street. While I'm sure the top 2 floors of the ATB building will be made into office space, I'm keeping my fingers crossed the main floor is turned into either retail or some sort of restaurant/bar concept. I wonder how soon ATB will be vacating the building?

I've noticed at the former Target in Shawnessy that Lowes has its signage up, still a couple months from opening though. Westhills looked to be a bit further behind, but probably open by Fall I'd guess.

Lots of good choices for department stores in Chinook, we've come a long way from Zellers and Sears. What kind of stuff does Saks sell? I assume they will be more competition for Nordstroms than the Bay?

Saks is very high end. The would be more like Holt and the upper end product at Nordstrom

I was there last night. They are still doing civil work outside of the store, but I agree with you and think it will come together pretty quickly. Should be open shortly.

This is about bang on.
The Saks at Chinook will be quite high end, akin to a Holts, Harry Rosen or a Nordstrom Flagship which tend to steer towards higher end goods.
Definitely exciting news for Calgary, it's a big vote of confidence in the Calgary market and something that should solidify Chinook as the shopping destination in Calgary for years to come.

With Lowes purchase of Rona I would think the smaller Rona in Westhills will close eventually, leaving another sizable vacancy in this retail centre.

I agree with that the smaller Rona should close, but I don't think that space will be vacant for long. Anytime a large space opened up at WestHills or Signal Hill Centre, its been leased within a few months. But given this market, who knows?
Whole Foods pulled out of Northland Village Mall - work on Edmonton store has ground to a halt & I would be very surprised if they open a stand alone operation up there given the distribution challenges. I guess they will either be looking for a new Calgary location PDQ or pulling out of Alberta altogether...

Whole Foods has done a remarkable job of getting people to drink their overpriced, eco-friendly, organic KoolAid. Calgary has too many expensive grocery stores (i.e. all grocery stores in Calgary) to have me mourning the loss of the most ridiculous of them all.
Not to nitpick since we all knew this was to happen at NorthLAND VILLAGE Mall but the 660news writer incorrectly states NorthHILLS Mall as the location (there isn't even a NorthHILLS mall here it is North HILL).
