This is a really tough ask, but does anyone know if Concord and Daniels put out similar proposal docs for Cityplace or Regent Park? It would be interesting to see how those inital renders and plans differed from the final product, and could speak to how First Capital will wind up navigating...

to be fair though, this district was in dire need of a Canadian Tire. Lived there for 3 years and trying to do any sort of handyman work involved planning my shopping around what I could pick up on the way home from work.

Based on a SF/person calculation of 105-150, you can expect between 7,500 and 10,500 employees to call the Well home!

My SO has been dealing with me pointing out this building every time we see it, and last night they sent me this photo. Guys, I think I found a keeper.

Does this mean different glazing than the other 2 BAC towers?

We've done it, ladies and gentlemen, we have officially achieved "Hermione's Bag of Holding" levels of condo planning. Unless at least one of those bedrooms is going to be out on the terrace, there is simply no way 3 bedrooms are going to fit in that space. Also, see immediately above for a 1...

Careful Contra, else RBC will want to sponsor your construction update illustrations and start exerting creative control ;)

Sunrise really brings out the drama in those diamonds! Taken this morning.

I really hope this gets massively overhauled before development. The weird kink where office meets residence makes the building look like it's always on the verge of falling over. I can already see the people gathered in David Peacaut Square to get a photo pushing it up like they do in front of...

Has anyone heard anything (non-confidential) of a slated opening date for the grocery store? Seems like they could be aiming for the holiday season this year, no?

What excites me most about this project is how the alleyway behind the Lightbox is suddenly going to be an activated part of the public realm with the retail being proposed. This is exactly what world-tier cities do - the inadvertent creation of little nooks and crannies that are worth...

This is interesting real estate wise. The floor plans are combining office spaces and bedrooms, touting them as "Guest hosting space". Don't know about you, but if a company was paying for my travel but had me put up literally inside their office (let alone their building) I would be having...

Playing off of this, I almost would have preferred it if they leaned into the 8-bit pixelated look by making all of the windows square instead of long rectangle atop short rectangle.

Aren't these renders of the exterior upgrades?

This site is listing this project as pre-construction... Has an approval happened that we don't yet know about? I can't find any documents anywhere.

Gate with a transponder mounted to the bus could work? But then again, why we haven't already done that with the streetcar tunnels I'll never know...

If there is appropriate room to merge for the buses, that could theoretically shave 10-15 minutes off of the travel time for hundreds of GO buses and by extrapolation tens of thousands of commuter journeys. roughly 38 bus lines leaving an average of 60 times per day is 2,280 bus journeys...

I remember a conversation a while back about the idea of constructing an on-ramp straight from the Gardiner into the GO station. Don't entirely remember why is was explained as an impossible task or a poor planning decision, but seeing the station start to meet the Gardiner is really making me...

24k must have been the budget for the cladding of the entire project then...

How much of the previous construction attempt will be included in this go around? Can any of it be built upon or will they have to gut the entire site and rebuild from scratch?
