Yeah the food mix here is going to be crucial to making it work. I really hope it's a combo of upscale and accessible options. My worst fear is this is going to turn into a real estate bro cocktail bar.

I'm always surprised at how often I get photographed by security and workers who nonchalantly get close to pretend to get a photo of the
building but it's me and them in the photo as I see their cellphone image... from the short distance we are.

Not as known as YouTuber "johnny five o" nor having the brass you know what.

First time noticing the signage on the wall.

Prepping new signage on southern wall.

Brick remediation noticeable around the project. Such a distinction is noticeable in the following photo. (Southern corner.)

The brick on the eastern part of the heritage building doesn't seem to have been cleaned. I wonder why. Is it not part of the Waterworks project?

nope, it is not part of the project. see the attached diagram, the east part(white) is "Eva's Phoenix", as quoted on the official website:

"Eva’s Phoenix is a 50-bed transitional housing facility for youth aged 16-24. Eva’s prioritizes stabilizing housing for youth who are precariously housed and/or experiencing homeless. Young people develop critical skills to live inter-dependently through caring, individual support, workshops, and hands-on programs."

I hope the YMCA is ready this summer. Be so nice to have a full gym downstairs.

You never know what you might uncover with a photo.

Really nice details on this one. Every time I walk by there is a new little thing added.
