There seems to be significant renovations taking place at the industrial / commercial buildings at 818-824 Victoria St N, this is the building located just East/North of the 85.

Gateman Milloy is doing the work.

I noticed that myself, but wondered if it was demo for the interchange construction?

I don't think I've seen it mentioned in WRR, but I see that the local Sikh community is building a pretty substantial new Gurdwara on Townline Road.

Glad to see Waterloo Council managing to avoid most of the craziness.

There is a sign out front of 818-824 Victoria St N saying that it will be the home of Erb and Erb Insurance.

Is that the old Ball Construction building on Victoria St near Bruce?  I was sure the sign on the road had a different insurance company name.  (Lackner McLennan maybe?) .... or maybe I need to get my glasses checked... LOL

Lackner McLennan recently bought Erb & Erb but decided to keep the names of both companies.

A business decision that, intentionally or not, honours local heritage.

Has anyone unearthed any further information on the 2305 University Ave office building project?
