104th Street continues to grow and strengthen its hold as the driving force that is attracting more and more people to the downtown core. From the City Market to the arrival of tenants into Icon 1, and the City and mayor of Edmonton striking up a ‘104 Street Vision Steering Committee’ to look into further improving 104th Street, the excitement is catching on. As community members, we were thrilled to read in the Travel Section of the national edition of the Globe and Mail on November 1, a writeup featuring several businesses on 104th Street by Katherine O’Neill: Read the Globe & Mail Article here..
Speaking of businesses, we understand that new businesses moving into the pedestal floors of Icon 1 will include a tanning and massage salon, an upscale coffee shop, a wine and tapas bar, a franchise restaurant and a hair salon and spa, joining many new condo owners who have already started moving into the lower floors on Icon 1. All tenants of the 30 Floor highrise comprising of 124 condo units will be in by early 2009. Coupled with tenants found for the upstairs of Sobeys, we look forward to welcoming more members into our little but rapidly expanding community.
You’ve put yourselves on the map again! On the occasions that I am back in Edmonton to visit, I am always curious to see what is up and coming in downtown. With the development of new residential condos, there will be a lot more foot traffic. What a great way to explore hidden gems.
