Expect a crane to go up for the addition to the back of Williams Hall later this year.

Good to see some progress here. I hope they can deliver on the retail. Not the easiest location and somewhat risky given the number of vacant spaces in close proximity.

Addition on the back? I'm intrigued.

Well one thing would be the pedestrian link to the parkade behind.

If Williams Hall moves forward, I wonder what it would take for the Sandman next door to do something with their street-level facade? The SW corner of that block is one of the most bleak corners downtown.

They will do f*ck all.

It's an 'addition' to the north side of the building on top. The building abuts the lane right-of-way, so there is no expansion that way.

Correct

Yup, especially since they said NO to Williams Hall's request to add a pedway connection to their building.

Sandman (parent Northland Properties) owns Chop (among many other chains), so they have a strong incentive impede guest access to competing restaurants. The food hall at Williams Hall would be direct competition and the connection would really offer little value in return. It is petty though, considering guests will still have access to the pedway system and - by all accounts Williams Hall - via MNP tower.

That makes a lot of sense

It does make sense. However, the Sandman seems to have a bit too much of a bunker like mentality now that makes it less attractive, I hope that will change/improve.

Williams Hall has been silent all year. I've been using the pedway between ECC and Sandman about 4 times a month.
