Nice angle on the last image
Has anyone seen any progress on the food court?

I'm so curious what that new cafe in Henry Singer will look like, I'm hoping it's by the windows, transparent windows are such a big plus. My main gripe with ECC and Manulife is the unwelcoming nature of the concrete facades.

Absolutely nothing going on. I walk through it at least once a week and there are tables/ chairs setup that usually are used by a handful of people and a ping pong table but it's still a weirdly half finished space with no signs of imminent work.

When I have gone by the food court area, I have seen around 30 people or more there regularly at lunch time. It may seem like less, because it is a big space, but I have actually counted several times. This is despite there being absolutely no food outlets there.
I realize the timing of this was hit particularly badly by COVID, but it is time to get things moving ahead again here. Other than a couple places in the Edmonton Tower, there is nothing really close by to grab a quick bite.

It is used as a lunch spot. But since I am not down there anymore I can't say. But prior to Covid the major design work was done and I remember that there were some inklings of some tenants. But I left Stantec and lost track of where is sat. The plan was to have independents and a liquor liences.

The new reality is that an 'elevated' food fair there won't be plausible now due to a lack of daytime population and workers in general.
I suspect that you will see it repositioned for office or amenity in the next year or so.

There’s also Loblaws. They have their to-go counter right next to the pedway to Stantec. Very convenient.

Usually pretty busy at lunch time too. I think many grab their lunch here and eat in that open area.

Is this a key card/extra step of security being put in place to limit access to elevators and folks hoping in?

You need a card to go up the elevators already, although I wouldn't be surprised.
My guess would be that it is a full height wall (glass or otherwise) at the elevator lobbies to aid with stack effect issues.

That could be for the residential. The commercial elevators were pretty controlled. Need a key card just to get up.

Residential requires a card as well. There is also already a double door to access the elevator lobby.
This might be replacing the double doors on either main floor or level two?

Got a free cut from Parlour Barba at a work event once; probably the best haircut I've ever gotten. But I'm a cheapskate and am totally fine with the quality I get from my $18 stripmall barber, so I am not a regular customer.
