Oh I like that!!!

Guessing this is more utilities/prelim work, but there’s a skid steer and backhoe moving dirt, plus smaller two excavators that have appeared. Guessing we’ll know when they’re fully mobilizing when they fence the whole lot.

City procurement strikes again. Why not have RFP process wrapping up last month so they could already be mobilizing for construction season?

I drove by it on Saturday, looked to me like some parking lot paving and some other minor work would have them in business.

What a f***ing disgrace. City taxpayers have to foot the bill for a developer cutting their losses? GTFOH. Wish they could make any future Procura DP approvals contingent on them cleaning up this site.

Smith would condemn breathing air if her base was against it though

City is dragging their feet on licensing again this year--recall in 2022 they didn't provide licenses till mid May, and those licenses were good for 20 months (so up until roughly December 2023). Last year they returned right around early April and the weather hasn't been much different this...

Awesome game. God McDavid just makes it all look so easy. Bring on game 2.

Lol yep. I get they're 98% done and the developer wants to get photos ASAP to line up renters for spring/summer move-ins, but damn a quick trip to Home Depot and an hour or two of work would have had this unit ready for pictures. Or hell just someone with some photoshop competency 🤣

^ agreed! A tenant or two in the CRUs would do wonders for the street level experience on the 102 and Jasper intersection IMO

Sounds like Dawson, Low Level and 98 ave bridges all might get rehab projects starting this year if not next, depending on engineering

Strategic Group just went through a big restructuring a few years back after filing for creditor protection in 2019... so they're no stranger to owing lots of money. I know construction costs were far cheaper a pre-COVID but it does make me wonder how they managed to make the numbers work in...

^ the no bathroom fan and filthy/scuffed walls+baseboards is a nice touch also. And how about the nice gap between the flooring and baseboards?

I thought Fillmore Construction had purchased PMK for a conversion... good to hear something is happening with it regardless. Cool that it came with Sherlocks, imo one of the best spots in downtown. Love the little house surrounded by the multi floor buildings and highrise offices.
