A much more attractive design than the original, though!

Well, I'm glad they're not afraid of colour! Most buildings in the region before the student housing boom were just shades of grey and beige. I'm glad they're using more colour now.

Ya I'm happy with some risk taking with regards to colour too

I like it. More attention to the east end and starting to polish up the ghetto area.

Been there, done that.

Ghetto is Brybeck or Paulander. The east end downtown is just old.

Sorry, I don't think those qualify as "ghetto" or "slum" or "banlieu" either. Low income, yes, but that doesn't automatically make it a ghetto.
RE: The Market Flats | 7 fl | Proposed - urbd - 07-12-2019
Yeah seriously... for what it's worth there no 'ghettos' in this region.
RE: The Market Flats | 7 fl | Proposed - jgsz - 08-18-2019
As of today.
RE: The Market Flats | 7 fl | Proposed - BruceAshe - 08-19-2019
I spotted a new piece of equipment on site today. Maybe a shoring drill? I was walking down Cedar, so I didn't get a close look. I'll try to get a better look tomorrow afternoon.

Here's the new piece of equipment
RE: The Market Flats | 7 fl | U/C - ZEBuilder - 09-25-2019
the've taken the pile driver away and they've started excavation.
RE: The Market Flats | 7 fl | U/C - white_brian - 10-21-2019
They are trying into city services today as well. King St is closed in both directions Madison to Cedar
RE: The Market Flats | 7 fl | U/C - ZEBuilder - 11-01-2019
Looks like excavation has started dump trucks were lined up on Wednesday.
