Overview
Hollick-Kenyon West is the developing commercial fringe of northeast Edmonton's Hollick-Kenyon community, positioned along Anthony Henday Drive. The area's highway exposure and rapidly growing residential base make it attractive for neighbourhood retail, drive-through, and convenience commercial uses.
The broader Hollick-Kenyon area has seen sustained residential absorption over the past decade, and the western commercial precinct is now absorbing that demand through strip plazas, pad site development, and professional offices serving new residents.
Key Commercial Corridors
Manning Drive NE and the Anthony Henday Drive interchange area form the primary commercial anchors, with gas bars, fast food, pharmacy, and grocery anchors drawing residents from multiple surrounding communities.
Secondary commercial strips along 167th Avenue NE serve the immediate residential blocks with personal services, medical suites, and neighbourhood food and beverage tenants.
Office Space
Professional and medical suites from 500–2,500 SF in strip plazas. Primary and family healthcare and financial services are high-demand uses.
Retail & Mixed-Use
Strip retail from 800–5,000 SF along Manning Drive and 167th Avenue NE. Grocery, pharmacy, and quick-service restaurant uses anchor demand.
Industrial & Flex
Light industrial bays available along nearby 170th Avenue NE. Grade-level loading, affordable rents, and suburban location suit small-bay users.
Investment & Land
Early-stage retail investment with development land and newly completed plazas available. Cap rates of 6.5–8.0% reflect the market's growth stage.
Investment Drivers
Anthony Henday Drive's completion transformed Hollick-Kenyon West from a residential suburb into a regional commercial node. The highway interchange attracts tenants and customers from a broad catchment.
Edmonton's NE sector continues to lead the city in residential absorption, providing an expanding consumer base for commercial tenants at below-average lease rates compared to established infill areas.
