FEATURED VENUES
Ford Hall
rogers place, 10220 104 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 0H6
Ford Hall is the jewel of Rogers Place. It is a stunning combination of architecture, technology, natural light and art. At the very centre of Ford Hall is the spectacular Tsa tsa ke k’e (Iron Foot Place) circular mosaic from world renowned aboriginal artist Alex Janvier. At a breathtaking 14-metres in diameter, Iron Foot Place represents the natural beauty of the Edmonton area, highlighting the skies, lakes and stories of the region. With over 8,000 sq. feet of glass and natural light, this space can be scaled to fit a variety of events.
Pendennis
9660 Jasper Ave, Edmonton, AB T5H 3V5
The Pendennis Building has been designated a Municipal Historic Resource. Seeing the full potential for a magnificent redesign, LEDR Developments has invested in construction and repairs and has worked to preserve the characteristics of the historic building, while ensuring it operates and functions optimally for business and events.

The result today is a stunning 33,000 square-foot rebuild featuring three stories that open into the main floor, surrounded by the original 1912 brick. It is topped off by a 2000 square-foot balcony and a fourth floor patio that overlooks the entire river valley. This allows beautiful light to stream in through the gallery and into each floor. It features a restored and updated red-pressed-brick façade with cast stone pilasters. LEDR has spent $13.7 million to complete the shell of the building to allow future tenants to custom design the interior to create their own dream workspace.
Brighton Block
4th Floor, 666 Jasper Ave NW Edmonton, AB T5H 3V5
Built in 1912 as a photography and art studio, the Brighton Block is a Edmonton landmark looking out over the river valley. The fourth floor event space has only just recently completed renovations and we are excited to offer you a beautiful, modern space in a well-recognized historic building.

The event space is one large room, comfortably accommodates up to 150 guests, seated or standing, has a full bar, an area for plating food that can be set up, and a balcony attached to the south that can fit up to 60 standing guests.
