[Mar 07, 2008] St. Thomas Street Hot Spot: Fashionable St. Thomas Street is now hotter than ever - the free Wi-Fi service of the City of St. Albert covers St. Thomas Street. [Oct 28, 2006] City Plaza property is now officially smoke-free. [Apr 09, 2004] City Plaza - Features City Plaza offers prime retail and office space in historic downtown St. Albert, Alberta. The heritage architecture is only the beginning. Every shop and office has a distinctive, unique brick veneer exterior for a retro chic, designer look that perfectly complements the boutique-style shops and classy offices. All shops have generous, wide storefronts with large windows, and offices are similarly well-shaped with several windows and natural light. These features set City Plaza apart from jerry-built strip malls with alleyway shops and windowless offices.
The seasonal outdoor Farmers' Market along St. Thomas Street, the largest in Western Canada, affords excellent exposure to City Plaza businesses who reap the benefits of the high pedestrian traffic without necessarily renting a booth. Visitors enjoy free two-hour city parking along the shops on the West side (St. Joseph Street) in addition to a free 200-stalls city parking lot. Located amongst boutique-style shops and a concentration of over 200 residential condominium units, City Plaza offers a small shop ambience found only in historic downtown St. Albert. One block from City Hall, Musée Heritage Museum, the City Library, Arden Theatre (500-seat live arts theatre) and "Profiles" arts and crafts gallery. These five organizations attract many visitors on a daily basis. Also located downtown are the Provincial Court House, the CIBC (bank), The Wine Kitz, Cargo & James Tea and numerous successful small businesses. |
