Interesting to see PCL as the contractor for this build. Sign of the times to see a Contractor of this magnitude building condos.

PCL is building Annex for the same developer, seems like a no brainer.

I know PCL was bidding on contracts valued in the hundreds of thousands to a couple million during the boom years too. Era is in the tens of millions. This is not a sign of the times. The layoffs are.

A new DP has been submitted for Era. I assume it is actually just a minor adjustment to the already approved project:

I wonder if this means things are moving on this? If the project was to be postponed you expect them to sit on things for a while.

Does a DP revision on a project of this scale extend the 3 year expiry?

 

[JonnyCanuck]

The DP revision might be for the townhouses that were to fill out the property. I think there was supposed to be 40 of them. Last I heard, Minto wanted to get a shovel in the ground before the end of the this year.

This one is 100% going ahead ASAP. This from a very reliable source.

There is movement, it was never in danger.

I noticed a small mobile drill rig working on site last week.

Agreed. I don't believe it was in danger overall as a project, but with Covid hitting and the state of the economy it wouldn't have been surprising to see it sit longer. Glad this is going ahead, it'll be a big boost to that part of Bridgeland...maybe enough of boost to drawn attention of full sized grocers.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

It's gonna be pretty outstanding to have 4 high-rises (35 meters+) in Bridgeland under construction at the same time.

 

[haltcatchfire]

If a decent grocer went into this neighborhood along 1st this area would blow up.

The EV Superstore probably reduces the chances.

I've heard the same thing, that it's going ahead. I've heard construction is to begin in early 2021.
