Columns for the north tower are nearly complete. It's kind of interesting because the ground is still largely dirt. Seems they'll just be pouring a floor slab at grade for this portion. Weird, not excavated at all basically. I wonder how the sales are going. I've noticed the units being advertised right now are very low priced.

Is parking all above ground for this project? I see the podium is 6-7 storeys, im assuming ground floor retail and parking all above it?

Yes. The parking is on the ground floor surrounded by retail, and the parking continues above the retail. Floor 1, Mezzanine, Floor 2 respectively:

Form work is in place for floor 4 on the southeast corner today:

How many stories is the podium/ when will they begin working on the towers?

If you click on the link at the top of the page, there are usually a few renders and stats. This page shows the podium being 6 floors or 7 in some places on the southeast side at least.

I hope by the time they are on the towers some of the surrounding developments get going too, otherwise this will stick out like a sore thumb.

The mini-boom may have stalled out for now. Still wondering when the next shovel in the ground will he.

The Design District and the 75 James will surely put a slight stall on owned units until they are all sold. Because most developers sell before construction it's going to be tough to beat done in 1-3 year condos with done in 5 year condos.

I'm actually more surprised there isn't more starts in the rental sphere. I actually thought the Limeridge development would start soon or Eastgate because both those areas lack newer rental units.

I know this hasn't even hit a substantial height yet, but from this angle you can see how much of an absolute unit this development will be.

Just wish those parking lots across the street would get some proposals. Then we'd have a real 'district'.

Is there still work going on here every day?
