Is it necessary to keep that one lane of traffic closed for this? The building was long ago moved off the street and back into its place behind the property line.

Does anyone know why this condo is taking so long to build? I remember others that were selling at the same time (Mercer, etc..) and already fully built and occupied, and this only looks like its maybe 4 stories high...
 
Was the facade really worth saving? Look at it. All that work just to keep a few bricks.

I am still reserving judgment on this one. I think if the extension of the front façade is done right, ie it matches really well that will be a big part of how this looks in the end. Also a good cleaning of these bricks and the addition of a grand entryway and windows could potentially make this one a real show stopper.

I like the rendering, I am still hoping that the considerable delays or any other reasons will not have a significantly negative impact on the final look!

Nice to have the red bricks on Blue Jays Way still! (But yes, it sure has not been an inexpensive process to do it.)

I don't think it was that expensive. I like to attach the front of my house to a fancy contraption, roll it out on the street for a few months, then reattach it to my house. It's kind of like flipping your mattress, you should do it from time to time LOL =)

Nice to have the red brick though, I am still hoping the additional brick to come matches just perfectly...
 
Bisha is now rising above its podium. From the 6th:
