January 14, 2020 – Manulife Investment Management has today announced plans for a $30 Million redevelopment of Manulife Place, calling it “a transformative redevelopment in Edmonton’s downtown core.” With construction commencing in mid-2020, the redevelopment will consist of,
a major modernization of the exterior façade with multi-level transparent glazing and bright, new signage. A repositioning of the retail storefronts to the exterior of the centre will extend the shopping experience outwards, creating a visually dynamic and engaging streetscape. In addition, the interior space will be refreshed with new porcelain flooring and LED lighting, as well as the creation of inviting communal spaces. A 45,000 square foot rooftop terrace will also be constructed, providing an acre of fully-landscaped parkland in the heart of downtown Edmonton—an amenity that is exclusive to Manulife Place.
We are thrilled for this next chapter of Manulife Place. To read the full press release click here, and for updates as we transform be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
