The clock basically reset when this was sold to Great Gulf. It's been a year at most.

My understanding is that Great Gulf has been busy turning this into a "real" project that can actually get built - so a lot of changes. From what I've heard the project actually has a huge rush on it - despite what it may seem.
Slightly unrelated but I was at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris last week and of the four Gehry buildings I've been to it has to easily be the best. Hoping they stay true to some of the material requests he makes for these towers as that was one of the stand-out aspects of the design.
The FLV is one of the most impressive buildings I've seen, anywhere. It's a masterpiece.
Article in the Globe and Mail about Gehry and this project.
Said to be looking at sales in Spring 2019. A bit concerning about the market timing of this one. Kind of amazing how this project doesn't even crack the top 300 projects under discussion on the forum.
The current Gehry proposal shows the two buildings reaching out across the street with billowing multistorey canopies of glass, elements that would create a strong sense of place.
There is nothing much to talk about given the relative lack of news and activity. It will get there when the plans are released, project goes on sale and the shovels are in.

As described I think this might be new - unless he is referring to the glass podiums reaching out visually.
