Construction!

As indifferent as I am on the design, I am looking forward to seeing this one go up. It's a prominent location by the flyover and it will help tie in the EV with the rest of downtown in the skyline. EV getting it's first major retail centre will be a boost for vibrancy too, the start of it really developing as a neighbourhood.

The design is clunky but I agree with you, it's a good boost for East Village

There was no action at the site for a while, I was worried they postponed it.

Does anyone know if the tower is a go? I've heard that they aren't building the tower, only the retail part.

That is what I've heard too. The tower portion will come later, not a huge surprise given the economy.

Disappointing but not surprising. It's a sign of the times, on the positive side though, and new retail development for EV is a big gain, especially a new grocery store.

 

[Always_Biking]

Thanks! I guess I'm not surprised either.

The condo towers would be nice, but I am really interested about the retail portion. it's a huge win for the East Village, and even Bridgeland and Inglewood, it's kind of a win for the whole area.

We hope to be pouring concrete footings in early December!!

Wow, that's not far off. Awesome if that happens.

A couple of months ago that area was stil an empty flat lot. Any idea of when the crane will be put in?
