It would be super wishful thinking if the city timed this water main replacement with the redesign/beautification of Mercer Street. Guessing the reality is they’ll tear it all up, replace the water mains, pave it haphazardly, so they can eventually tear it all up again. Hope I’m wrong

I’ll take a Bestco over another Weston Co

The renders look like they’ll connect across the first 5ish floors. If they stick with that design, it’s kind of wild that they’ll be taking off curtainwall and cladding that was so recently installed.
