EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 6, 2017) - Edmonton Tower tenants and visitors can now enjoy more exciting amenities as Tim Hortons, Gateway Newstands and Cacao 70 have joined the growing list of ICE District occupants in the 27 storey tower.

This week, ICE District Joint Venture formally welcomed both Tim Hortons and Gateway Newstands to celebrate the recent openings of these popular businesses in Edmonton Tower, which is already 86.5 per cent occupied.
