Be in the centre of it all 4 EDMONTON’S DOWNTOWN IS RAPIDLY EVOLVING. According to the City of Edmonton private developers and public organizations have recently invested over $5 billion in the core. A Downtown Business Association report finds that more than 1,800 residential units are under construction in the city core and another 6,000 to 7,000 units are being planned. Whether you’re taking in an event at Edmonton’s Muttart Conservatory, a show at the Winspear or enjoying dinner out of one of Downtown Edmonton’s many cutting-edge kitchens there’s always a way to tap into the buzz. “ On the weekend, we might head out to the farmers market, even if we don’t buy anything we go to talk to people. It’s a great way to feel connected to the spirit of the city. It helps me with work, experiencing it all the time and building on that helps us in our business. It’s the people — that’s what Edmonton is.” Downtown Resident & Marketing Executive, Chris Henderson 5 s 21 Hwy 21 GrG r t o S aat Rd t Rd 109 109 St 111111 St t 97 9 S 7 t St St S 24 124 St 1 42 142 St 1 104104 St ICE District JasperJasper Ave St 63 163 St 1 CENTRAL WhyteWhyte AvAvee G 87 AvAvee WhiWhitemudtemud Dr Walking through the hustle and bustle of 104 street past local spots like Rostizado and Mercer’s Tavern in the historic Mercer Warehouse, you round the corner onto 104 Avenue and are overcome by the fluid form of the ICE District’s beating heart; Rogers Place. Not only is it home to our Edmonton Oilers, but it serves as a nucleus for the transformation and reinvigoration of our city’s downtown core. Spectacular downtown views 6 RIGHT IN THE CENTRE OF PRIME DOWNTOWN REAL ESTATE There are currently two primary condo residences along 103 street, The Legends Private Residences situated atop the JW Marriott Edmonton ICE District (JW Marriott) , and SKY Residences in Stantec tower; the tallest of its kind in Western Canada. SKY Residences offer not only the convenience and investment strength of an ICE District address but an incredible 18,000 sq.ft. of amenity space for residents. Starting on the 43rd floor, condos feature unique architecturally stunning floor plans, luxury finishes and of course incredible views. Both SKY and Legends offer direct pedway access to Rogers Place and are steps away from curated dining and cocktail experiences like the new Alchemy cocktail bar and lounge located on the fifth floor of the JW Marriott.

Community centerpiece: Glenora fountain 8 A stone’s throw away from some of the city’s most popular trails and stunning sights along the River Valley, this community of over 3,500 residents, is close to the exceptional amenities, trendy restaurants and High Street boutique shops of 124th Street. Glenora is bordered by 107 street to the north and 142 Street to the west, where the up and coming spectacular West Block luxury residential towers and urban plaza will reside. Glenora residents enjoy quiet streets where they can walk, bike and stroll to parks. There are four excellent schools and a daycare nearby for the little ones. Grown-ups can enjoy favourite hang outs like Vi’s for Pies and the new hot spot, The Colombian Coffee Bar & Roastery. With the future Stony Plain Road LRT stop that will link the west end of the city to nearby downtown and the University of Alberta, the central location of this charming modern day community can’t be beat.

The mature westend residential neighbourhood is located about 10 minutes from downtown Edmonton. It is bound on the north by the MacKenzie Ravine, on the east by the North Saskatchewan River valley, on the west by 149 Street, and on the south by 87 Avenue and Buena Vista Road. LEARN MORE HERE. 10 Developed in the mid-to-late 1950s, the majority of the original homes were single-detached bungalows. However, a few long-lost hundred year old farmhouses can still be found dotted in the neighbourhood. In the last 20 years, largely because of the neighbourhood’s proximity to Edmonton’s downtown, many of the original homes have been replaced by larger, two-storey homes and infills. “I loved living in Parkview,” said Lauren Rodych-Eberle. She resided in Parkview with her husband and former Oilers forward Jordan Eberle from 2013-2016. “Living in such close proximity to so many schools was wonderful for my music classes.

Introduction This Issues and Opportunities Brief summarizes the technical analyses completed as part of Phase 2 of Edmonton’s Exhibition Lands Transformation (formerly named the Coliseum Station Area Redevelopment Plan). It incorporates the findings from the following project tasks: › Transportation technical analysis › Civil infrastructure technical analysis › Site visits and analysis › Context analysis › Public and stakeholder engagement The summary and discussion provided on the following pages should be supplemented by the more detailed findings of these technical studies, where available, and by the Phase 1 What We Heard Report that describes the results of public engagement to date. The Exhibition Lands project will study the lands centred on the former exhibition grounds located between the Coliseum and Stadium LRT Stations, including the Coliseum arena and EXPO Convention Centre, and the edges of surrounding communities. The study area boundaries (shown on the following pages) have been designed to encompass neighbourhoods with the highest potential for change in the future, and to enable the project to consider transitions and connections between the City lands and existing residential areas, nearby open spaces and the broader transportation network. Note that the project is in a stage of transition, with a focus on creating a more collaborative and transformational vision for the future of the Exhibition Lands.
