By the time you have to close on this, the interest rate will probably have dropped. I'm guessing closing in 2027 or 2028

Wow it's busier than I thought for something that has opened for 2 days!

Went to check out Lulu Bar that just opened yesterday on Wellington street. It’s the first bar/restaurant to open on the North side. Already somewhat busy. It’s a bit smaller than expected.

Oh looks cool

Disheartening to lose those beautiful structures

There's still a lot opening soon

Assuming so, they've started to demolish the buildings on that site...

Let's get this built already!

Reminds me of the other building Tornado Tower in Qatar Source: https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/tornado-tower/1677

The forms look impressive. Super curious how cladding will complete the look. I'm sure it's going to look nicer with cladding, whenever they source it...

I went to the Arcadia Earth yesterday and met the owner Craig about his vision and passion for the art and sustainability for our planet. It was a very cool VR multi sensory experience and educational show. We spent 2 hours there. It is a permanent location that they brought over from NYC and...

Good from far, far from good

New store called Accent & Co. Opened

Another store opened this weekend It’s called Groovy

Out of the big stores that are open, Shoppers, Indigo, Structube, I think they're all open after 6PM Sweat and Tonic is a wellness center so it should probably be open late The Arcadia Earth thing as well They're really a bit behind for the Retail stores this Xmas

I always thought this pond idea was not practical but got attacked and called strange for a differing opinion It's costlier to maintain an artificial pond park compared to a natural one, when the city is underfunded and has no budget So I guess plans have changed and no year-round pond?
