Downtown Edmonton is the central business district of Edmonton, Alberta. Located at the geographical centre of the city, the downtown area is bounded by 109 Street to the west, 105 Avenue to the north, 97 Street to the east, 97 Avenue and Rossdale Road to the south, and the North Saskatchewan River to the southeast.

Contents

Surrounding neighbourhoods include Oliver to the west, Queen Mary Park, Central McDougall and McCauley to the north, Boyle Street and Riverdale to the east, and Rossdale to the south.

The residents of Downtown Edmonton are represented by the Downtown Edmonton Community League, established in 1999, which runs a community hall located at 100 Avenue and 103 Street. [7] [8]

The Edmonton Oilers's home arena, Rogers Place, is located in the north central part of downtown where it anchors the Ice District mixed-used development for sports and entertainment. [9]

Districts and streets

Arts District and Churchill Square

Churchill Square is a major public square in Downtown Edmonton. Churchill square edmonton.jpg
Churchill Square is a major public square in Downtown Edmonton.

The arts district is in the eastern part of the core with many award winning institutions like the Francis Winspear Centre for Music (home of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra) and the Citadel Theatre. Edmonton City Hall is also located here with all these buildings facing onto Sir Winston Churchill Square. It is also the site of the new Art Gallery of Alberta, which opened in early 2010, and the Stanley A. Milner Library, Edmonton Public Library's main branch.

Churchill Square (Officially "Sir Winston Churchill Square") is the main downtown square in Edmonton, and is the heart of the Arts District. The square plays host to a large majority of festivals and events in Greater Edmonton. It is bordered on the north by 102A Avenue, on the west by 100 Street, on the south by 102 Avenue (Harbin Road) and on the east by Rue Hull (99) Street. In 2009, the portion of 102A Avenue that cut Churchill Square off from Edmonton's City Hall has been closed off to vehicular traffic as a way to better connect Churchill Square with the fountains and some festivities on the plaza at City Hall. [10]

Government Centre

The Alberta Legislature Building is a prominent landmark in Government Centre. Legislature-Building-Edmonton-Alberta-Canada-02AA.jpg
The Alberta Legislature Building is a prominent landmark in Government Centre.

Government Centre is an informal district located at the southwest corner of the downtown core and is the home of the Alberta provincial government. The most notable feature of this part of downtown is the Alberta Legislature Building and its surrounding parks, fountains, and gardens.

An underground pedway system connects the Legislature to several of the surrounding buildings, including the historic Bowker Building and the Frederick W. Haultain Building.

Federal government offices were housed in the Federal Building at the north-east corner of Government Centre until they relocated to Canada Place, located at the east edge of downtown, in the 1980s. The Federal Building is undergoing a $356 million renovation due to be completed in 2015 for provincial government offices and a new underground parking structure. [11] [12]

Transit service is provided by the Government Centre Transit Centre located near the Federal Building and by Government Centre station located just to the west.

Jasper Avenue

Jasper Avenue and 103 Street in Downtown Edmonton. Jasper Avenue is the city's "main street".

Jasper Avenue is the city's "main street". It starts at 77 Street in the east, running south west along the south edge of Boyle Street until it reaches the downtown core. It then runs due west through downtown and the neighbourhood of Oliver until it reaches 125 Street. Jasper Avenue is a major public transit route as several of Edmonton's busiest bus routes travel along it. The LRT travels underneath Jasper Avenue between 99 and 110 Streets.

Jasper Avenue has no street number but sits where 101 Avenue would otherwise be. Jasper Avenue is home to many of Edmonton's oldest heritage buildings (for example the Hotel Macdonald) and some of Edmonton's tallest office towers, including Canadian Western Bank Place and Rice Howard Place; however, the presence of the former limits that of the latter, and many tall buildings are found just off Jasper where land is easier to obtain. Together with help from nearby streets like 100 Avenue, 104 Street, 101 Street, and 102 Avenue, the Jasper West area (west of 97 Street) is one of the major retail, living, commercial, and entertainment districts of the city.

Rice Howard Way

Rice Howard Way comprises 100A Street between Jasper Avenue and 102 Avenue and 101A Avenue between 100 Street and 101 Street. The portion of 101A Avenue between 100A Street and 101 Street was closed to traffic, making it an open-air pedestrian walkway. The rest of Rice Howard Way is open to vehicular traffic. Rice Howard Way has a few prominent office towers like Rice Howard Place and some restaurants.

Rice Howard Way's southern edge (100A Street at Jasper Avenue) has an entrance to the Central LRT Station.

Warehouse District and 104 Street

The Warehouse District is an area in Downtown Edmonton consisting of repurposed warehouses from the early 20th century. Warehouse District Compessed.jpg
The Warehouse District is an area in Downtown Edmonton consisting of repurposed warehouses from the early 20th century.

The Warehouse District is located between Jasper Avenue and 104 Avenue and between 103 Street and 109 Street. During the first decade of the 20th century, the Hudson's Bay Company began selling its land holdings in this area, and businesses were quick to move in. Between 1909 and 1914, no fewer than two dozen warehouses were constructed. [13]

In the later part of the century, warehouses closed and the buildings were redeveloped into commercial enterprises. [14] In 1970s and 1980s, the Gay Alliance Toward Equality (GATE) had its location on 104th Street where they provided services to the local community and acted in a political advocacy role. [15] The street was also host in the same period to the Flashback club, a gay bar that is being featured in an upcoming film. [16] [17] [18]

In the late 1990s lofts were created in these former warehouses. In recent years, the area has seen a revival, with new lofts and condos being constructed or proposed, along with many designer shops. [14] The area also included Canada's first urban format Sobey's Fresh Market, flanking the curved Birks building as the entrance to 104 Street at Jasper Avenue, serving the residential population until its closure in 2014. [19]

104 Street (in between Jasper Avenue and 104 Avenue) is the main street in the Warehouse District and features shops, restaurants, cafes and a variety of services. The area is also known for lofts in old warehouses. The street is very dense, and has seen new projects completed in 2009 and 2010 (Icon I and II) with the construction of the Fox Towers condo complex at the northwest corner of 104 Street and 102 Avenue underway. [14] [20]

In 2016, Michael Phair Park, located in the Warehouse District was named after former City Councillor Michael Phair, in celebration of his political career, and community advocacy, as well as in acknowledgment of his many contributions to the LGBTQ2S+ community. [21]

It is a $2.5 billion mixed-use sports and entertainment district being developed on 10 hectares (25 acres; 120,000 sq yd) of land in Downtown. [22] [23] When completed it will be Canada’s largest mixed use and entertainment district. [24]

A new arena named Rogers Place, for the Edmonton Oilers, was approved in early 2013 and construction of the arena started in March 2014. [25] It was named Rogers Place in December 2013 with an agreement from Rogers Communications for 10-year naming rights deal. [26] It opened in September 2016. [25]

Phase One started after the Ice District announcement 2014–2016. It has A new Office tower, and attractions along with Rogers Place. [27] Edmonton Tower, Winter Garden, and Grand Villa Casino Edmonton, are expected to open in 2016. [27] The MacEwan LRT Station was opened in September 2015. [27] [28] The next Phase X will is from 2017–2020. [29] This includes Stantec Tower, [29] [30] and the JW Marriott Edmonton Ice District & Residences expected to open in 2018. [29] [31] Other projects include; A public plaza, future residences, and retail attractions, such as a Rexall pharmacy, Cineplex UltraAVX & VIP Cinemas, and grocery shopping centres. Opening throughout the 2017–2020 phase. [29]

Station Lands

Station Lands will be a multi-use development in downtown Edmonton. It is being built in a 9.15-acre (37,030 m2) site north of CN Tower once occupied by the old Canadian National rail yard. Expected to be completed in 2019 to 2022, it will include four high-rise towers, [32] a multi-story public plaza, and podium space. There will be 2.5 million square feet (230,000 m2) of office, retail, hotel, and residential space. The total cost of the project is estimated to be CA$240 million. On December 7, 2007, it was announced that EPCOR Utilities Inc. has entered into a 20-year lease to become the anchor tenant of Tower A (renamed EPCOR Tower), a commercial office tower that was completed in 2011.

MacEwan University's City Centre Campus is located at the northern edge of the downtown core. It is one of several post-secondary institutions operating in downtown.

There are several institutions providing educational opportunities in the downtown core. The largest of these is MacEwan University whose City Centre Campus is located along the northern edge of the downtown core between 105 Street and 112 Street, and between 104 Avenue and 105 Avenue. This site used to be part of an old Canadian National rail yard that started redevelopment in the 1990s. MacEwan University also operates the Alberta College Campus located near the southern edge of the downtown core on McDonald Drive.

The University of Alberta has redeveloped the site of the Bay building on Jasper Avenue between 102 Street and 103 Street as Enterprise Square (2008). "The building will house TEC Edmonton, a jointly operated research commercialization centre presently located in the U of A's Research Transition Facility." [38] The opening of Enterprise Square marks the University's 100th Anniversary and first presence north of the river since it was founded in 1908. Enterprise Square also houses the University's Alumni Services, Faculty of Extension programs, and a U of A Bookstore.

McKay Avenue School is an important historical building located in downtown Edmonton. Named for Dr. William Morrison MacKay, a doctor with the Hudson's Bay Company and Alberta's first doctor. [39] Construction began in 1904 when the cornerstone was laid by the Governor General of Canada, Lord Minto. The building was named a provincial historic resource in 1976. Due to declining enrollments, the school was closed in 1983. Today, the building has a new lease on life, and is the home of the Edmonton Public School Board Archives and Museum. In addition to its educational role, the building was also used by the Alberta Legislature during 1906 and 1907, when the legislature's first two sittings were held here. The 1881 Schoolhouse, an older wood frame building and Edmonton's oldest school, is located on the same site. [40]

Retail

Edmonton City Centre (formerly Eaton Centre and Edmonton Centre) is a two part shopping mall with over 170 services on 102 Avenue. It is anchored by Sport Chek, Winners and Landmark Cinemas. It has four office towers (using the mall as a podium), plus a Delta hotel. When Edmonton Centre and the Eaton Centre became one in the late 1990s after the demise of Eaton's, a newer and larger pedestrian skyway was built to connect the two malls which also contains a number of shops. Also in the late 1990s (after the malls became one), the mall received a makeover itself.
