Originally constructed in 1912 as a high-end retail and residential building, the Gibbard Block was reimagined through a reconstruction completed in June 2019. Every system, including mechanical, electrical and plumbing, was rebuilt from the ground up, while preserving the irreplaceable character of its 113-year-old façade. The structure and foundation were substantially reconfigured, with original timbers carefully laminated and preserved, and the building's core systems upgraded to modern standards including new boilers, roof, and storefronts, as well as completed environmental abatement and brick repointing. Since its reactivation, the Gibbard Block has established itself as the heart of the Highlands community; a once dormant site now drawing hundreds of unique visitors each day. Its curated mix of wellness, retail, office and lifestyle offerings has created deep connections with the surrounding neighbourhood, reinforcing its role as a true community hub. Surrounded by some of Edmonton's earliest historic homes and vibrant local businesses, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a completely re-engineered asset with timeless character in one of the city's most desirable locations.
