So I was talking to someone in the know yesterday, it sounds like the hold up is they have been unable to secure air rights from the building next door, as the crane needs to be able to swing slightly over the building.

Apparently the matter is being taken to court.

You might want to dig into this a little bit more. The delays don't have anything to do with securing a crane swing agreement.

@cmd uw Hmm, the person I spoke to is pretty knowledgeable and reliable, and I know you are too, so I'm wondering where the disconnect is happening.

This won't get built. I've heard contractors have taken WestOak and the president Mathew McLash to collections.

If that's true it'll be a real shame cause this was one of the nicer mid-rises that have been proposed recently. Hopefully someone picks it up, it'd suck to have another Five Cornersesque hole sitting around for a while.

This would have been /(hopefully still will be) a great addition to the University Area. It's great to see more developers like Niche, WestOak, Beljan etc. bring higher quality buildings to the City as oppose to the typical low rises we are use to.

This still a big hole in the ground?

@westcoastjos I haven't been near here in a while, but I imagine so.

This must be ticking off the residents in that area because they were already not excited for this proposal to begin with.

Those with a west facing unit in The Bentley next door must be thrilled..

I believe that Pagnotta has taken this one over, no?

Heard that back in the spring.

Pagnotta was working as CM on this for WestOak and retendered everything, but that's going back over a year ago now!
I had heard at one point they even had a restaurant lined up for the main floor. I hope this somehow gets going again...

 

[cmd uw]

WestOak is no longer tied to this site. The plan is changing slightly.

 

[Avenuer]

Indeed, it is Pagnotta taking this over. AND, they have updated renderings:

Ehhhh, the previous iteration was much better But this is ok, and much better than a giant hole.
