First half of tower A has been turned over to the property manager, first tenants move in the few weeks so should see the fencing down soon

I always enjoy seeing the construction fencing come down on a newly built project.

Gotta say, the podium overall is done really well. Towers are decent. I’m giving it a 7.5/10

I had a good look at the north podium side this evening. Love it, and the lighting is nice and the podium in general modern yet vintage feel to it without the faux historical.

I love the podium and think it's a great development. But let's have a moment of silence for the Curtis block:
Torn down in part because City policy at the time required a wider ROW for potential Macleod Trail expansion.

It's a shame about the old Curtis Block, I wish we had a few more blocks like that still around. This new podium looks good, especially the lighting, bricks and awnings combination.

A little birdie told me some of the original brick has been preserved and installed in one of the amenity spaces...

Yeah the developer didn't want to disassemble the building to move it 5' back, so they demolished the whole thing.
I remember that. It was a standoff between Torode and the city.

Yeah, then Torode nearly went under a year or two later and it sat as another empty lot forever.

The only thing I don't like is the way that the entrances to each CRU is raised. Is that due to the flood plain?
