and nothing goes better with your latte than some obscure books and crack. haha

that building is really more of a facade than anything.

Well it won't be long before we see what happens and while i am hopeful for the sake of the neighbourhood, i don't think that it is stretch to see people become more engaged in their surrounding neighbourhood. maybe initially they will avoid queen street, but eventually there has got to be a...

just recently toured the ritz. very posh! amazing pool on the 5th floor with yoga studio.

the display with info on the builder showed high end homes.

once the modern is occupied, i think that will be a good gauge to see what the interest is in having more development in the area. in any event i think that the neighbourhood will get better and better. these past number of years must be the low water mark for the neighbourhood.

the maxwell meighan center is massive. unlikely the place on jarvis could make up for the loss of beds if it closed. i think a more likely scenario is that the neighbourhood will densify with a greater mix of people - not just the down and out.

I dropped by the sales office over the weekend. it was very well attended.

there's quite a few empty storefronts between jarvis and parliament, as well as several buildings just waiting to be developed.

I'm not sure why there needs to be an army base in the centre of the city, but i'm glad it's not vacant. last thing this neighbourhood needs is another vacant building.

Suprised to see how fast they got to the 4th floor from your oct pic. Thanks for the pics DKB!
