Edmonton Office Market Report Q1 2021

One of the keys to any great city is having areas that allow people to congregate, interact with local businesses and experience the history and culture of the area. These areas are typically found in the form of a main street, located nearby the economic centre of the city. For Edmonton, many would immediately think of our downtown core and ICE District as it has various local businesses, amenities and social areas. However, in recent years Whyte Avenue and the greater Old Strathcona area, located on the south side of the North Saskatchewan River, has seen an evolution in the form of exciting development projects, influx of new local businesses, and a strong cultural identity on full display. For those reasons, we should extend what we consider our “main street” to encapsulate both downtown Edmonton and the Old Strathcona area.
