This is a business centre in the industrial area of summerside. They have spaces that you you can…read morerent for use, a co-working section, and also some companies leasing spaces. The concept behind this building is sustainability and they did it; this is the first net zero building in Alberta. Inside they have a room where you can park your bike, a green wall, and very nice bathrooms. Workshop is in this building and they utilize the planter boxes out front to source some of their ingredients. The architecture here is breathtaking with big windows and large wooden accents. If you have a small conference or class this would be a great space to do it in.

The positive impact this building has on the community is immeasurable. Honestly I'm happy to visit this space on occasion to participate in meetings and events and one of the organizations I am a member of has office space here as well. Parking is ample. Transit doesn't come super nearby but I've walked here from transit nonetheless.

This is a surprisingly large building with many different businesses that call it home. I was there…read morefor a Edmonton Celiac Association AGM and got to see the meeting room. It was nice and large, perfect for meetings. The building does have a large parking lot but it fills up fast due to Santas Anonymous being in full swing ( they are set up in the warehouse side). There is street parking as well which we took advantage of. The building is easy to find, but when we left to go back home on the south side we did need Google maps to find the easiest way back on Wayne Gretzky Drive.

This is an absolutely magnificent space! We attended a plant night talk by Dora of Nature's…read moreElements which was a vivacious and educational talk where we learned a bunch about when and how to plant/start your garden she is uber knowledgeable and did a great job, we then planted several plants of our choosing. Highly would recommend this event for anyone interested in learning about growing anything The venue itself is gorgeous every single wall has some piece of art on it that is breathtaking, there are a couple of smaller businesses That reside in the space as well as studios for artists. I learned that there are paint nights hosted by the very man who panted many of the paintings in the space so expect something creative to flow from that class. Whether you need a large space for a cocktail party or a boardroom for an important meeting you can rent the space through their site, I know I'll be checking it out

This pub/restaurant usually has pretty good specials so you will usually get a pretty good value no matter what. It's also a very comfortable place to eat or have a drink. The atmosphere is really nice and relaxed. The staff are great. I've never had an unfriendly server or bad service at Ritchie Mill. The food here is decent. It's nothing to write home about, but it's not too shabby. Ritchie Mill is unique so it's a cool place. If you're looking for a chilled out place to hang with friends - check it out. If you're looking for a nice dinner, I'd go elsewhere.

My first time being in this building and WOW does it look neat inside!…read more The sheer wall of windows gives the exterior a sweet modernized look from the outside, and the main lobby is like stepping into the future almost. The elevators blew my mind with their fancy touch pads that sit OUTSIDE the elevator! (And these puppies are FAST!!) You choose your floor on the pads on the wall, then the pad shows you which elevator to head to (number above doors also lights up). The building also has 2 sets of elevators - one set for the bottom half and one set for above floor 15. There's a couple locked floors but the rest have public access. The 24th this event was held on was an empty unfinished space, which made it easy for quick setup and tear down. You could probably contact someone to borrow/utilize the space for other events as well :)

I'm already a fan of Vacancy Hall even though the day I went only had two businesses open…read more Leprechaun FX was open and their store is right at the back of the hall and specializes in boutique guitar pedals. I had in fact heard of them just because my husband is a massive music nerd and loves all the gear that comes along with guitars. Next to them is Saraswati Designs with a beautifully laid out space displaying so much jewellery! Such variety, I was in there for ages! And, they have a sale table with some great deals! The hall itself is found underneath the Mercer building. Enter the Rostizado entrance but head downstairs to a cool quirky communal studio space. They make a point of hosting upcoming designers and local entrepreneurs. I want to go back and enjoy all the stalls they have set up in there, especially the one who makes those 'Still In Edmonton'Shirts. This place is definitely worth checking out if you find yourself downtown, or looking for an unusual gift, or just wanna know about some cool happenings in our great city!

Vacancy hall is in the basement of the Mercer building. When you go down the stairs there is a…read morerestaurant on your left (used to be a coffee shop) and a retail store on your right (door is usually closed which prevents customers from entering IMO). Once you go past these two businesses there is a small foyer where the bathrooms can be accessed then double doors going into Vacancy Hall. Within the Hall there are walls and garage door style doors for 6-7 separate businesses. They're all on the side which creates a central space for events. Since it's a basement the ceilings feel a little low but it's actually quite practical. Exposed tubes, pipes, and ducts give it some ambiance as does the painted mural on the far back wall. The communal event space can be used to throw parties, concerts, charity events, etc. Most of your equipment will need to be brought in though. They have a few tables, lighting, and garbage cans you can use which is thoughtful. Any audio equipment, seating, and decorations would need to be brought it. The legal capacity is 195 people but the 2 bathrooms available are single use locking doors which wouldn't work for a group that size. I don't know each of the stores that have rented spaces in the Hall but each location probably deserves it's own Yelp profile so I guess that's a job for another day!
