Summary

Edmonton’s downtown is on the rebound, with new retail spaces and revitalization projects like the National Bank Centre’s renovations fueling momentum. While some restaurants closed last summer, the trend may be temporary as businesses pivot to renovate existing spots amid high construction costs. Downtown success now hinges on unique offerings like ACE Coffee, while suburban malls thrive on steady foot traffic near grocery stores. Kingsway Mall takes a slow approach under new ownership, while the former Hudson’s Bay site prepares for major redevelopment with residential, spa, and retail plans.
