I found Barton Street East super interesting. A case study in urban rejuvenation! All they need to do is give the street a bit of a diet and some trees.

The Federal Buildings downtown on James St N is getting some substantial work done. Unsure if this is just the owner doing renovations or if someone has leased the space. Last I heard Forge & Foster (the bankrupt ones) owned this building so unsure the context:
Edit: another picture from the next day where more of the stucco has been removed:
Next up, 31 John St N, the Cafe Colonnade (@Chronamut I believe said it was going to be called something else) is nowhere near completion:
Looks like Parma & Piccolo had a quiet soft opening, not ready for dinner yet it seems:
Finally, something is going in slowly where Castelli Cucina was, and an Asian Coffee place is going in just across the street.

Haha I just commented on that in another thread! Dunno what's going on in there - and finally they are restoring that arch in the federal building - also ugh at the condition of the stucco.. still it killed my heart to just see it sitting there boarded up so I am happy.
I saw the place on king william open during supercrawl but I was determined to go to ciao bella so didn't check it out.

The place at the corner of John and King William has had workers in there every day I've walked by for the last little while again, so clearly not close to opening but something is still happening in there.
I believe I recall seeing the Federal Building selling through the Forge and Foster bankruptcy, I can't recall to who though. They must be sinking some money in to renovations of some sort. If the City's building permit website still wasn't down I could pull the permit to look.

Perhaps I'll email the city and ask. The permit site being down really sucks.

it'd be funny if it was just squatters operating a meth lab in there all this time.
