Given the slippage in time, of ~5 months I wonder if there's been further slippage in budget.
That said, at $380,000 a unit, it's less scandalous than some of the other projects which have gone off track, ~40% less than the worst of them......... if those numbers hold.

They have had "partial-occupancy" on that site for a few months now - I believe the End of 2023 target is for full-occupancy...
If you are concerned about delays, we wait yet another Winter for the specious NIMBY appeal on the CUMMER site to be thrown-out at the OLT (and in a perfect-world all of the City's costs from those delays to be charged-back to the Residents' Association folks who filed the appeal)...

LOL, the press release from the Province, for the above noted event:
news.ontario.ca
Thank goodness the province is chipping in 2M for a building that is more or less occupancy ready.
I mean, don't get me wrong, that's great; but they make it seem as if this is new money that is going to improve things beyond what is being or has been done. Tis not so.
May I add, at ~$35,000 per unit this is the kind of money that will make things happen! (cough)
