ECC is one of the only redevelopment opportunities in downtown Edmonton connected to atransit line. Its central location has direct connections to new developments such as Blatchford, Clareview, Century Park, and Mill Woods Town Centre. ECC is optimally positioned to bring traffic from these growing communities to Downtown Edmonton.

ECC offers spaces that can accommodate large educational or medical institutions. A potential hospital can leverage the talent pool of postsecondary medical graduates from Grant MacEwan University, University of Alberta, Concordia University of Edmonton and NorQuest College. ECC is also an ideal location for a school who can add to the existing post-secondary ecosystem and leverage its convenient transit network to bring students into the downtown core creating momentum for a burgeoning community.
