Wasn't that originally supposed to be a building for the elderly? I don't recall if the City had wanted Concord/Adex to build it or if it was going to be someone else doing it.

The site in question has significant issues with the rail right-of-way nad it's highly unlikely anything of consequence will be built there for a while. Concord is having enough difficulty with the other stakeholders involved getting their pedestrain bridge approved and constucted - which is small potatoes compared to a large building.

The reason it was cancel as GO did their expansion of the yard and power plant there.

Cancelled isn't really a good word here. The tower was never marketed and never even designed. It appears in a couple preliminary concept renderings and nothing more.
I could replace the word 'cancelled' in the thread title with 'scuttled'...
yup, let's try that out.

Scuttled sounds like there was a cabal who manipulated backroom politics to enforce their will over a protesting populace. To the barricades!

Wouldn't that be scupper?

Yes, I vote for "scupper."
Someone should start a Scupper Club - for all those dinners that never happened.
