Looking at the Westlake video again, and from the above photo, we can confirm that there won't be that square bottle opener thing at the top of Phase 1 (north tower).

Yes
Phase 1 started occupying about three weeks ago.
Metro should be opening up next month.

5 Hi-Speed Elevators is fantastic. Relatively very easy in and out parking access. Quality and finishes are quite good for the amount people bought these units for. Remaining units available has boat loads of upgrades. 8'6 ceiling height for most units some floors have 10ft.

Checked out the developement this afternoon. Metro and SDM are coming along nicely, and I have to say I was quite impressed with what I saw through the glass. Both are full-size and full-service stores. Metro has a cooked food and sushi section as well as a Starbucks. SDM is of a decent size as well, with a food section.
They're all in with these stores. With so many residents coming into the area, it is not a bad idea.

I saw that too. The Metro should be a great hit; hopefully it's a 24/7 type operation in order to successfully compete with the Sobeys. Given that the SDM at the Sobeys plaza is 24/7, not sure if this one will be too.. Either way better than nothing.
The Starbucks is a huge positive surprise! FINALLY! I was upset at their other location a few blocks north on Park Lawn (not in a pedestrian environment) but this shop in shop should do the trick.

Does anyone know what other retail type places are set to open here or anywhere else along Lake Shore? I know there is the "Firkin on the Bay", and I heard rumors of a 2 floor restaurant in one of the other new condos? But can't find much info on anything else.

Ocean Club is set to have a nice big restaurant with a patio overlooking the lake. Originally rumours were flying around that this would be a Keg but it is still being marketed for lease.

Shoppers Drugs should be open this month and will be the first retail to open. It beside Metro who still doing work inside of it and hard to say when it will open, other than summer this year. Metro will be a 7/24 store.

Still waiting for the handle on the roof.

Don't think it's gonna happen. The video says it all.

Indeed. I'm pretty sure the handle has been axed.
