Slightly off topic, I think it would be nice if Tim Hortons and Wendy's could move into this podium and then the current location of the restaurants could shut down, be levelled and another residential build could be built at that location.
Only problem is that Tim Horton's and Wendy's no longer have the same owner. If they are booted out of their current location at the U of A, I don't think a shared location would be feasible anymore so they may end up as separate entities in the MacLab Garneau. It's the same deal with the shared Tim Horton's/Wendy's in the downtown/Oliver area.

If I counted correctly the west tower is at 19 stories now and the east tower has the first floor of residential glass in place. What a difference this is already making. I’m assuming they want the student housing ready for summer to be ready for the 2023 school year.
The western student tower has topped out now and they have the glass up to floor 13 If I counted right. The eastern building is about 14 floors now and has the glazing on the first two floors of residential. By March, the eastern one will really start dominating the U of A skyline.
