Edmonton Ice District Project Taking Shape Around Rogers Place, But Challenges Await

Oilers Owner Daryl Katz' Ice District in Edmonton is under construction, but it is "still no sure thing" that the project is "going to be a crowd pleaser," according to David Staples of the EDMONTON JOURNAL. Now going up around Rogers Place are the "66-story Stantec Tower and the 54-floor JW Marriott Hotel-Legends Private Residences." A foundation is "in place for a third tower, which will be mainly residential, and is set to open" in '20. The Katz Group this week also "announced its second phase of development." It is to be "built on the gravel parking lots" north of Rogers Place, and "calls for as many as 10 new mixed-use towers to house as many as 10,000 people." It is a "dizzying amount of building." The buildings of the Ice District "get all the hype and ink, but it's the spaces between the structures that will help make or break the area as a people place." A "major challenge in the Ice District will come with all the shops, restaurants and amenities on the second floor and above in the various buildings" (EDMONTON JOURNAL, 6/30).
