Hopefully we see them get into a tower or two now that they're venturing into that territory.

Maybe, but in which city...

Does it matter? I hope they grow in every city they are in or enter and continue to be a successful company headquartered out of Edmonton.

So many great companies grew in Edmonton and left, now we have one moving to DT adjacent, that is a great thing.

Not sure about towers (yet) as they only build with wood (so far). Once they start building mid-rises with concrete, then they will likely make the jump to towers.

Yes... AND it does matter because that helps shape where they develop, invest capital in and what kind of city that it creates.

Fair enough. Nice to see them grow though. Always a plus for an Edmonton based company.

Hopefully some of this will lead to more people Downtown.
