What a night last night at the Chamber Ball. Had a quick visit to the Oilers dressing room and Chairman's club. Very impressive.

Stantec (251m) to the left, JW Marriott to the right (192m). For perspective, the Stantec Tower will be ~ x 2 of the City of Edmonton Tower in the foreground.

^^^^ Crazy how this area was just such a dead zone in the downtown and now it is one of the most vibrant parts of the core. I also can't believe how much Stantec and JW Marriott have grown since I was last there. The ICE district has been an amazing boost to the downtown.
...and yet none is open. None of the 300k of retail/hospitality is there or 1300 residences or 350 hotel rooms.
2019/2020 will be awesome.
