Kartelle Lofts on Queen (at Pape, Kartelle, 4s, ?) (was Film Studio Lofts) COMPLETE

[Thesb]

Move in Fall 2014? This place has sat moldering for six years and it will be all cleaned up, finished and sparkling, in 4 or 5 months. Pull the other one.

Hey I thought I saw something about not harping on grammar too much. Pedantic much?

You mean "a lot," I take it. And I agree. Sure, it may well be that the latest bid will amount to yet another ghost of an effort. But I still maintain that the thing has to succeed eventually. I think this one will stick. And if not, perhaps the problem can be solved with a few well-placed sticks of dynamite; the corner in question can again be blessed with a clean slate.

I yam, I yam.

Why am I not surprised? I am not a superstitious person by nature but I am beginning to think this particular corner is cursed.

From my knowledge, Kartelle is about to start work. No reason to think they won't. Perhaps they don't want to speak with youngstreetmedia.

 

[Lenser]

That would be great. Fingers crossed.

I saw 2 construction guys on the roof this morning. I guess it's a start....

 

[Lenser]

LOL! Two guys!!

That is indeed good news. I thought the project was toast... again. Great. Fingers still crossed.

They've replaced some windows, and are now adding brick. Slowly but surely. This is from about a week ago, but really, it hasn't changed much since then.

It looks pretty good that way, actually.

Apart from being turned upside-down is anything actually happening here? I walked past yesterday and it appeared to be abandoned, again.

Last post on their Facebook page (June 2014): "The wait is over! Occupancy December 2014!"

 

[Lenser]

For what it's worth, at least a few guys were working on the scaffold along the Queen St. facade. This building really looks like a dog's breakfast. Must be one of the slowest, most chronically delayed infill projects going.

Typical Toronto streetscape in Lenser's post - some kind of plastic garbage in the tree and overhead wires (I don't mean for the streetcar) everywhere. What a profoundly ugly city this is.
