That would be incredible! I've been waiting for this! Are you certain it will break ground this year?

I have some great news on this one. After overturning a bump in the road with an appeal to the SDAB at the development permit stage, the building permit has just been approved!
The development is moving forward!

Lots of action on site this morning! A large number of people working. Significant progress on the foundation, lots of concrete and rebar.

Didn’t want to bother anyone at work so no photo, but will look to get further updates in the future.

 

[fromyeg]

Good portion of the foundation poured.

Looks like won’t be too long till framing begins.

Framing underway.

Moving onto fourth storey.

but am also told this will push the design envelope.

I don't think this comment aged well or is my non-architectural background too obvious.

I think that your "non-architectural background" is spot on! If spidey-sense is a thing, then you definitely have archi-sense and that apparently is not that easy a thing to achieve.

I do still think this one could be a notch or two above the blander midrises going up—but not three.

Materiality will make or break this one.

Lots of density going up in Garneau off of the arterials.
