This project has been progressing shockingly fast.
This and Ventus over on 17th. both are moving quickly. Heck even 6th and 10th is moving along quickly now. Could it be the downturn in the economy has created more availability of labor and services?This project has been progressing shockingly fast.
I would like to see Minto get built for a couple of reasons. It's a nice little project, but it also raises the bar a bit in terms of scale being at 11 floors.
Thanks for posting apo383! I'm happy to see some more upzoning for Sunnyside. It's such a great location for medium density projects like the Minto one, and has been underutilized as a neighborhood.The Minto proposal isn't shown as 11 storeys high, but rather 9 (at 26 m). But I agree, it's a nice-looking project. The re-zoning plan for Minto Kensington was approved by City Council about a week ago. From the minutes:

These guys have moved quickly on this. It seems like only 6 months ago they started excavation. Does anyone remember when they started excavation?
