The first of the orange panels are up

Word from the Province and Foundry Friends is that environmental abatement and partial demolition will re-commence on Monday, November 15th, lasting until February 2022. This includes the demo of the northern most building (office and warehouse, highlighted in blue). Process of transfer of...

Harris Square looking pretty in fall colours

they are either dealing with a severe steel shortage here in terms of deliveries, or they are waiting a hell of a long time for Sir Richard Rogers to do a site visit and give them the go-ahead to keep going...

i believe the brick at the 2-storey base podium is supposed to be a more saturated red, and the middle portion they are cladding was going to relate to the block 3 podium

i also got the same answer via a tweet reply, about three weeks ago....

wow. going back to the discussion on retail tenants, i feel like many prospective tenants will be dying to get in here once they actually see the space and its potential to attract hundreds (maybe thousands on weekends??) of people a day
