I do really hope that they open up a new bar in the podium. The Gilmour is always packed, and the Oak is, well. The Oak. I don't think the soda gun there has worked for years.

Stop the presses! we may be able to build a 15 storey building in just five years... assuming favorable economic conditions :rolleyes:

Without doxxing myself by posting a picture, my backyard has a square view of the top of the tower. It is flat as the day is long :/

It's baffling that the city hasn't put the screws on Flix to fix this. Tremblay, or the city's own facilities used by other intercity bus companies (Terry Fox and St. Laurent) are a far better and safer experience for riders. Welcome to the new market reality of the intercity bus market!

The 85 is being rerouted along the route of the 55 to Lees, so these will go hand in hand with Carling bus lanes. Catherine can back up pretty badly at rush hour (I suspect mostly due to the insane programming on the Bronson/Catherine light), so a bus lane will help greatly. Might as well get...

New documents have been uploaded to the devApp. Mostly looks the same, with the exception of A BUS LANE ON CATHERINE! Let's hope that this means the city is ready to approve.

Klimat climbing gym has announced that they intend to open a gym in "Centretown" in late 2024. I'm stumped as to where this could go. City Center or the former The Yard are strong contenders, but are not very Centretown. My heart of hearts wishes for something along the Highway- maybe convert...

Material looks nice but would it kill them to articulate the building a bit and hide those fugly expansion joints? Developers in this city will pay for expensive brick but then pretend it's still precast panels. Here's to hoping that the brick lattice wasn't value engineered out.

Tanks, excavation and remediation equipment left the site last Thurs/Fri. Now we will see if they intend to get this on the road any time soon, or if we'll be left with another empty lot.

Despite the... most of it, I actually like the street level massing on this one. If only the street itself was conducive to being on the street level not in a car.

Those tanks have been out for weeks and they're still digging. I think we're seeing the remediation now :)

After seeing some similar examples along the VIA detour this weekend, I'm even more excited to see the breeze blocks go up. What a creative way to create a unique façade while respecting the historical character of the area, even if I'm not sure how they are planning to sell a 2+D bedroom...

Unfortunate to see the max height dip below 40 floors, but I'm glad they're sticking to their guns on the evil ahistoric pastiche (beautiful) street wall on Catherine.

Not sure this is anything more than remediation work at this point but the hole keeps getting bigger.

Very much so; about half of the 14 clears out there in the morning. Does anyone know if the parking lot actually gets use?

Some weeks nothing, some weeks it pours. The day this breaks ground I figure we'll all be able to take 2-2h30 off from complaining about the city 😜

Saw an excavator and a truck from a fuel tank contractor on site yesterday; good to see some signs of life on the ground and with the city.
