Just as local firm to work with Foster presumably, right?

This is what I am hoping for. Burka was the "local" partner for Absolute world, and those turned out wonderfully, so if they are just the local partner it probably isn't too big of an issue. as the lead architect? maybe not so much.


This is just more office space in a sea of available space however, I have to wonder how long it will be until it can secure a tenant.

P+S was also the local architect for L Tower.

I'll be shocked if Oxford is handing over this signature office project to IBI architects. I'll take this as a positive sign, as it means that an international firm (e.g. Foster + Partners) is likely involved.

Maybe they're going after the same big tenant as Cadillac Fairview.
 
Was there any question of this one not going ahead after Oxford invested millions?

I hope the design for the 1000+ foot offer towers stay the same.
 
Any idea if the convention expansion is happening ? To me that's big news in it self
 
They will probably go looking for public money to back that part, governments are usually willing to spend a bit on that type of stuff.

No. After the casino was squashed, immediately after at the Land and Development Conference, Oxford said that it was still a go. I am looking forward to new news, however :)
 
Hi, so is there a confirmation on how many towers there will be on this site and what the mix is (i.e. one office, one hotel, one residential - either rental or condo)?

I really hope these new office tower proposals materialize...they are the jewel of our downtown crown! :)
