In 1974, the City Centre Place office tower (Oxford Tower) was completed within the larger Edmonton Centre development;
TD Tower was added in 1976. In 1978,
Oxford Tower (now MNP Tower) and the
Four Seasons Hotel (now Sandman Signature Edmonton) were built on the north edge of the site. Across the street a new development was in planning by
Triple Five Corporation. The original plan for what was then called
Eaton Centre, announced in 1980, called for several large office and apartment towers. None of the originally designed five towers was ever built but the multi-level Eaton Centre mall and the Delta Edmonton Centre Suite Hotel were salvaged from the project by heavy civic tax subsidies. After the demise of the
Eaton's department store in 1999, Eaton Centre and Edmonton Centre, formerly two independent malls, were redeveloped into one shopping complex connected by a newer and larger
pedestrian bridge spanning 101 Street (that itself contains a number of shops). On June 27, 2013, Empire Theatres announced that it would be selling this theatre location along with 22 others in Western Canada and Ontario to
Landmark Cinemas. On October 29, 2013, Empire Theatres closed and reopened as Landmark Cinemas on October 31, 2013. On November 18, 2015, Edmonton City Centre announced that it planned to relocate and significantly upgrade its food court as part of a $41.3-million redevelopment investment that would revitalize the entire retail experience of the downtown property. Construction was scheduled to begin in November 2015. The new food court opened on November 1, 2016, and the property revitalization project would be complete by November 2017. The former food court area and stores on the lower level were converted to parking.
Hudson's Bay closed on June 3, 2021.
Sport Chek closed on March 12, 2023, leaving the mall to two remaining main anchors,
Winners and
Landmark Cinemas, as well as smaller anchors such as
Shoppers Drug Mart and
Dollarama. McDonald's closed on November 16, 2023. In August 2019, the ownership group of Edmonton City Centre, 90% held by two business variations of
Texas-based company LaSalle, drew a $155million loan against the property. In July 2025, with the ownership group having missed an assortment of loan payments since December 2024, Edmonton City Centre was ordered into
receivership, with
PwC appointed as the receiver. ==Anchors==
