No, I see the homes of thousands of people who can only afford to buy into multi-unit residential buildings enjoying the benefits of downtown living on land that was formerly parking lots.

They've been working around the perimeter of the site for the last few weeks building protective barriers for the trees.

"Ground breaking." ... A bunch of suits holding shovels around a yard of sand (obviously dumped for the photo opp.)
and a giant "U" monolith. Cue Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra.
Great crowd!
Anyway, nice to know that things are about to get underway here.

Most of the trees along St. Mary St are protected and there's a trailer on site located between the sales office and the parking lot.

Construction has been very slow. Only this Thursday and Friday did fencing start to go up surrounding the site and the hoarding posts start to be installed on Bay. Between the time the parking lot was shut down and now, except the tree protection, there was very little to indicate any progress on this.
