Seems peculiar that if they are bringing the "site" back to grade....that more steel would be necessary. Wouldn't they want to pull whatever I-beams are in the ground? Why haul out all of the "free dirt." One would figure it would be staying to bring said site "back to grade?"

I'm guessing that the steel is for their neighbour.

As a few on this site can attest to, development is tough gam; with many complexities. Throw in a dirty site, lagging market and exponential interest rate hikes and all of a sudden your risk profile might change a wee bit, let along your proforma.

Yes, things happen, but at this point it is now several years. They are doing even worse than the city's delay on the new LRT line. If nothing else, that should embarrass them.

If and that is a big if they were to starting drilling for the columns they would need a relatively flat site to manoeuvre the equipment around. So at some point in the future they would have to do this anyway.

^^^^ What columns are you referring to?

Soldier piles.

Lots of dirt filling up the site.

I feel like Regency is fortunate, and I guess the community, that the construction project is going on next door to provide the dirt for them to fill up this hole. Would Regency even be doing this if it wasn't for that opportunity? Or would they have just left it as it has been the past few years?

Probably not. I bet the neighbor developer proposed it as having this leveled graded and seeded is in their best interest.

Definetly filling in the hole and looks like they are using it as a lay down area

 

[David A]

Well whoever is behind the initiative, it does look better. If it is not going to be developed soon, some nicely maintained grass would be even better.

I would be over the moon if I were the site super on this Leston project. Talk about a logistical nightmare if they didn't have access to this site for a laydown!

 

[Greenspace]

Certainly a lot of concrete trucks on site today.

 

[Whattagame]

It's pretty unsettling that a developer that has a significant impact on prominent areas of our city would have important work go undone unless another developer does it for them.
