Oh joy... another Regency hole in the city....

Suggests that he structural engineering is not finalized, so footings are probably 5 to 6 months away from a start.

Other than the picture in post #128, is there anything else out in the wild on this?

 

[Daveography]

@westcoastjos Not that I'm aware of, no.

Tender drawings for the first phase of Regency's large Hollyrood/Bonnie Doon redevelopment is now with Pagnotta.

 

[Daveography]

Regency is aiming to start construction in earnest in February. Direct from the source.

What will be their first building to be built on this project?

 

[KyleBlanchett]

@Daveography What Developer did you contact? Pagnotta or regency?

 

[Daveography]

@bodsbods9090 They are planning to build out half the parkade and I think the two southernmost buildings first, the ~25-story tower, the ~12-story mid-rise, and their attached low-rise buildings. That works out to 427 units if I read things correctly. It also sounds like the building heights might come in a bit lower.

@KyleBlanchett Regency is the developer, I got the info from them (though it came from a colleague, so the details may not be 100%)

 

[KyleBlanchett]

Just talked with the project manager for this project at Pagnotta and they say that they are still in the process of reviewing the drawings.

Anything is better than looking at an absolute slum that should have been torn down 40 years ago.
These townhouses are gross.
The bad side is there is less and less affordable housing. However I don't think poor people deserve to live in crap.

All levels of government need to do better at subsidized housing in general.

@Gdp Welcome to the Forum! Holyrood is continuing to push for more affordable housing in other arenas as well.
