There has been some activity on this. The new design is to remain a tall structure, somewhere in the 45 - 50 floor range, but no office component. Stay tuned.

Yikes, that's gotta hurt the developer who paid top of market based on an office building

If no office ... perhaps a hotel component? If it is all rental residential, that could mean 400+ suites at that height.
Interesting BK are looking at getting this project going instead of Portfolio 2. They must have determined that with Curtis Block, Strategic One and now Oxford Wexford Beltline, that is already lot of rental units going in within a couple of blocks of each other.

40-50 floors now seems more common place. It would be a nice addition of density to the area, and we certainly don't need any more office space.

It's been a few years and the design has changed. You would think Quadreal would take this over now.
Yep
Portfolio East | 147m | 44s | BentallGreenOak | Gibbs Gage
This proposal is 5 phase three tower proposal. The project is related to the Bentall Kennedy Portfolio project one block west, which is just about completed. (Phase 1) Tower 2 25 floors 218 units 85.9m height (Phase 2) Tower 3 29 floors 242 units 97m in height (Phase 3) Tower 4 44 floors...

It would be nice to see something developed there, and to get rid of an empty lot. If it adds 500 people to the area, even better.

With no office component I wonder if this one will be resurface?

We need to stop bumping these dead projects. It's giving me anxiety and depression simultaneously

For unknown reasons, Bentall Kennedy have been very inactive with their planned projects. This one has been in the planning stages for about 5 years. Portfolio (13th Ave & Center St) was stalled after only building. I think 4 more were planned for that block. It is not just the economy because other developers have forged ahead with purpose built rentals in the core.
Maybe they made a decision to be either in or out altogether, and given all of the other developments underway thought it best to be out for now.

With the city pushing its new downtown plan maybe they can offer some incentives for developments like this to help get them going?
