Attended a by-invite community meeting with Rekai and their construction manager last night.

They indicated construction mobilization will be in January, 2025 with excavation / shoring to begin in March, 2025.

Approximately a two-year timeline to completion.

They seem to be working on a tight schedule, so things must have been happening behind the scenes.
great news. the current empty lot cuts the canary district off from corktown so it'll be nice to have cherry fully built out

Yeah, until there's another "slippage" 🤣
 
^Great! I had been wondering if the delay was due to the potential of a merger with dealership to the west for a similar project to what is going up on the south side.
 
Thank god. Great to hear. I’m choosing to remain optimistic about the 2yr timeline, given the small-ish nature of the site.

I just wish they’d demolish the dealerships to the west to build a medical mall. Be great if seniors didn’t have to cross a street for a pharmacy or journey too far for basic diagnostics.

Canary was once deemed the “health district”, and for all that we got a dentist and healthy snacks at TD. Avantderm in the distillery does more healthcare before noon than canary does in a month.

Great news, I can see it being my next (and final) home!

Good news! The Rekai building includes a Seniors Assessment Centre, dialysis centre, a blood lab (that will offer public access), and a potential physiotherapy clinic (TBD). No pharmacy, but I think the residents will be served directly.

Though I also like to see empty lots filled, I do not think these ones cut the Canary off from Corktown and there are no plans for additional streets as far as I know. The difference will be that, when the lots are filled, the trip will be bit more interesting!

yea i didnt mean it literally. more from a cohesiveness standpoint. no one likes walking past empty lots
 
Two things 1. Anyone think they could have started shoring this month, but didn’t wanna miss that lucrative Christmas Market parking lot money? And 2. Shovels in January. 13 storeys. Could this get topped out before 2026? It’s a smallish patch, there doesn’t seem to be any wild features. Goode stacked up more than 13 storeys this year alone. Am I jinxing it?

Ok there DSC........... sure, you're not a youngin anymore...........

But you're still more vital, energetic and active not only than most people 1/2 your age; but most people 1/3 your age!

You're not going anywhere 'gracefully'........... and we're all better off for it.

I expect an invite to your 100th B-day, if I'm still around....... LOL

Maybe, as long as they don't find an old drainpipe when they start digging.
