Those parcels have been slated for late development - likely after V (the legacy metro site) and, of course, the signature (non-residential) site LM (the tree farm!). Lot R (residential) was recently (partially) cleared of construction equipment (it had been parking for > 2y). At DivCo's last...

Yep: officially opened on 3 Oct at 11:30, but had been hosting various soft events for the last week.

There was a solo construction worker on site yesterday, when I passed in the AM, removing fencing materials. I didn't pass by later, so I don't know if that were a section adjustment or more comprehensive one.

Hear, hear. And the landscaping is tastefully integrated into the surrounding environment. Regarding CX: Although plans can change - Parcel U was developed earlier than expected and the now combined Parcel L/M was slated for completion by now - DivCo has repeatedly said that Parcel V could be...

No kidding - when they removed all of the signage ~2 weeks ago, I thought, "PIVOT...PI-VOT!!!".

I have been championing this space for over a decade; it's fabulous that so many ABers are visiting and enjoying our backyard! Of note, a number of the remaining parcels are slated to be residential, but DivCo West has a reputation of building (successfully) when needed. Since 151 just opened...

Some of this has to be about low cost selections - either poorly built structures, maintained finishes, or a combination of both - and generally low levels of QC. Most of you know that I live in CX. I interact with DivCo West fairly regularly and asked, during the previous two winters, why our...

Sorry - it was late when I responded. They either Frankensteined the documents (unrealistic) or their plans changed again: perhaps it's back to residential. Anything would improve on the ugly storage/equipment parking that's there now (and its horrid fence).

There were several designs floated since 2022. The one loaded upthread was perhaps the second or third (which was the "amended second"). Their idea of "entry to CX" and ours (>50% of the community) really differed, however. Regardless, DivCo told us late last fall that the project would be...

Nice shots. I can't wait for those final 3-4 pillars to be removed (second image). They should host a block party: With confetti.

Fun fact: those three stepped cowlings atop Zinc are very well illuminated: in any color. They blazed for the first week the building was open nearly a decade ago. Then, some Glassworks Condos folks complained (police calls) and ... they haven't illuminated since. (Apologies for replying to...

The preparation was for mid term stasis. They did it twice in 2023. I spoke with DivCo: there is no plan yet for LM, which could serve as the site's signature property (its status has flipped to "open" from commercial).

Yes: look back through my old postings, please. I used to post images, commentary, and some engineering background since I (fairly regularly) speak with folks at DivCo (and I have lived here for nearly a decade). But after years of negative comments I stopped. I understand that we're not...

The amenities are are a level below Dalton's (still very nice), and roughly comparable units are less costly (at least, the ones I considered). Ultimately, I wasn't won over by Dalton because of 1) lower value (for me) and 2) location: I have no connexion to its area. Winthrop's units are quite...

It's a travesty that the awning over the old pet store is still standing! Ugh.
