I worked in Quarry Park for a year, commuting from Hillhurst. Too kabout 45 minutes of driving a day. Terrible location for being "connected" to downtown. You're isolated, and forget about quick meetings with clients or contacts. The 1.5 hr return drive to downtown is never justifiable.
IF you live in the deep south and your goal is to just be a 8-5'er this I'll be great for them. But look at Bell's experience - they moved all their staff 3-4 years ago to a NE industrial park and I see they have promptly moved some headofffice staff back to Palliser South.
As people have pointed out - IOL marches to the beat of their own drum. People come to you, not the other way around. Maybe this will work. Maybe not.
There's just no substitute for being downtown in Calgary Business.
