Building #2 still on the render!

Lots of people on here have said MacLab has the deep pockets to keep going with a tower at this site so...who knows.

Well this sounds promising! Is it a typo? Or are they eluding to the 13 storey mid rise?

 

[IanO]

It probably makes sense to do that mid-rise 'connector', but not the other tower for a couple of years.

 

[MacLac]

Sounds like they’re “announcing” the 13 storey “connector” right? By having this block party…..

 

[Barnaby]

That 13 storey connector will be a massive building by itself, so this isn't a tragedy if it becomes a 3 stage project.

One second thought, if the connector is built first they'll still need to demo the Knoxville's building to build the parkade, and consequently the piles for the south tower. I can't see them having 3 separate digs and a labyrinth parkade system as a result. This should atleast bring the tower to grade, or better yet the top of its podium.


Am I wrong in my thinking?

 

[Gus Haynes]

Yeah, I'm not gonna spill any tears about "only" getting a new 13 storey building downtown in 2025.

I feel like this is just a typo?

 

[edm13]

I seem to get hit with their ad on Facebook regularly. And it always shows the rendering of both tall towers, if that means much

See….thats what I thought too! Just another typical case of Brutal journalism writing? Or are they actually going to showcase the 13 storey link? The fact that they used “1,100 units…..,” seems odd…..for the entire project yeah but not for this particular phase. You’d figure the folks at BILD would be more careful with their wording?

Someone has to go and let everyone know!

You’d be surprised. I’m shocked how often at city engagement sessions or even industry things there are people who “should” be in the know and often are unaware of things.

At the Wihkwentowin renewal engagement, almost no one there knew about what had been done for the Calder commercial strip in their renewal, or knew about the bike plan 100mil rollout details of routes, or knew about how protected bike intersections worked. I literally showed a pic of one in Victoria and Ottawa to a girl explaining the 112st bikeway vs bike lane section and she was like “oh cool, haven’t seen those before”

…and we wonder how crap like 105ave gets built haha.
