EDMONTON - When sole tenant ATB Financial moved its corporate headquarters across Jasper Avenue, it left landlord Hokanson Capital with an empty building.
But the Edmonton-based company saw it as an opportunity to modernize and reposition the 16-floor, 34-year-old office tower on Jasper and 98th Avenue. It even gave it a new name: 9Triple8 Jasper.
“It was really a once in a decade or multi-decade opportunity to have this building go entirely vacant and you can really go in there and do a thorough job and position it for the next 30 years of its life,” said Jordan Hokanson, president of property owner Hokanson Capital.
ATB Financial leased the entire building but outgrew the space and completed a move to ATB Place, formerly Telus House, earlier this year.
