Nothing material, the design isn't due for completion til spring 2023.

New Park at 1 Defries Street

A new 420m2 park is coming to 1 Defries St, as part of a residential development project at Defries Street between Mark Street and Labatt Avenue in the Regent Park neighbourhood.

Was at Downtown Benz this afternoon. Grabbed a shot of it in passing.

Is it likely this will actually be done this year?
I think it will be 2024 realistically
 
It's not impossible for them to finish work this year since we're still in January. But early 2024 is probably a bit more realistic to factor in various construction variables.

Looks like Broccolini and Marlin Spring are sourcing their spandrel cladding from the same source.. Difference is, at least Broccolini is making somewhat of an actual effort here so the whole project doesnt look like adulterated trash.

Marlin Spring should learn from them.

This is classic @Amare

He's being unusually positive here in saying............'Broccolini's trash is definitely less trashy than Marlin Spring's Trash" ; and "If I had to accept trash, I would really prefer this pile over that one, so trash makers, pay heed, this how to make a better class of trash"

LOL

He's totally lost hope that a higher standard than trash might be expected.

:p

Well I mean c'mon now, there's no higher standard when certain developers/architect combinations are involved. It's just a race to the bottom with those select combinations.

@Tim MacDonald if you dont mind me using one of your photos here, look at this pathetic nonsense by Marlin Spring below. I'll certainly take what Broccolini is putting up here 10/10 over what Marlin Spring will ever offer us. Broccolini is painting the underside of the balconies to add some contrast effects, using precast panels in some interesting ways, and arent flooding whole sides of their project with the nasty spandrel. I probably shouldnt call Broccolini's build trash, it's more like respectable grade compost that gets the job done fairly right.

Trash like what we below has no value whatsoever asides from the typical putting bodies in a building and calling it a day.
