Ground floor forms for "phase 2" building are in place. Still very curious what the plan is here. Perhaps I'll reach out to the city asking if there are new phasing plans or site plan documents. There's no way there's enough room here for the third tower at the moment. So I do wonder what the heck the plan is. We will likely know just from looking in a few months, but it's a mishmash at the moment.

Perhaps this will be "skinny side" with the main entrance on the back?

 

[TheHonestMaple]

what do you mean

what do you mean

There is a gap in the buildings on the north side- maybe they will put an entrance between those buildings?

A reminder of what the area around the third tower was proposed to look like:

 

[TheHonestMaple]

Yeah they've pretty clearly shifted the third tower south. There definitely is no longer a 25m gap.

I don't know that this is true. They have a trailer set up where the walkway would be planned, so I think it could theoretically still be there. It looks to me like they're just building the south half of the third tower, but it's a very odd plan.

I feel they are going to do the whole podium part of the development then wait to start tower 3.

Taken today. Solid progress since I last took some shots, two weeks ago.

It looks like the area around the church is still there from those pictures, thanks for the photos from above.

That means that the tower wasn't shifted south, but then one wonders what they are doing over there since they didn't seem to drive piles far enough north to support the tower?

See the ground floor plan and your photo with the church edge in red:

 

[TheHonestMaple]

Agreed. I'm now starting to think they are keeping that area to the north clear for now for access?

Lots'o parking for the automobolized types, I do declare.

 

[TheHonestMaple]

I believe Lamb purchased that lot last year.

god does that building on the right ever look apocalyptic..

is that a greenhouse on the top? I do like the thought of MDUs having green houses on top to grow food..
