Today's update: the snow is gone.

Drove by yesterday, almost the whole site appeared to be at 3 stories, and a small portion was at 4.

Coming along swimmingly...

While not ON King I think it's King Street presence will feel significant. If that makes sense haha (it did in my head)

Slow progress on this one...

Slow progress on this one...

Yes ... one floor in one month. Even if it is admittedly a pretty big floor plate, that's still going quite slowly.

I think they've been affected by shutdowns, only residential construction was deemed essential. They were probably just getting back up to speed after the January shutdown when the early April shutdown happened.

Even if the main contractor is paused I'd expect lots of sub contractors are doing residential projects too, so they probably reschedule everything and it's a pain to get going again post-shutdown.

They are working right now though. I was driving by yesterday and the crane here was moving.

The rules say:

Construction
As of April 17, all non-essential workplaces in the construction sector will be closed, with only essential construction permitted to operate. Examples of non-essential sites may include shopping malls, hotels and office towers.

Residential construction and critical infrastructure projects such as new hospitals, roads and bridges will continue.

Which I'd certainly interpret to mean this should be closed, but there's lots of exceptions. They do have the exception for:

are necessary to temporarily close construction sites that have paused, or that are not active, to ensure ongoing public safety

So maybe they could argue they're just closing up the site? There's also exceptions around "operating and delivery of IT services" but I think that means datacenters not offices.

I believe you they're operating, but I'd guess it's at least at heavily reduced capacity compared to normal? I don't really know though.

Great shot. I was sad to see that I have so few pictures of the LRT in my own archives.

The parking garage is about to get started for this project. Permit 21-104909 at 2 Stewart St is currently pending, and you can see the outline in the GIS.

Yeah the lot is now fully fenced off and looks like they are set to start.
