That's enough for a small grocery store (this would be about 13,500 square feet). Though perhaps not "downtown" enough.

I'm glad the east end is getting more attention.

A portable crane, specifically. And still four excavators, the last I counted.

Sounds like they're super busy.

I'm just trying to envision the way downtown is going to look 3 years from now, it really won't be recognizable, especially with Duke Street Tower and Charlie West.

In terms of skyline, yes, but the Drewlo project will have a bigger impact at street level, istm.

There is bound to be a bunch more additional development/intensification in the east end, near Drewlo. Market Lofts is on the way, BT hopefully soon. And there are a lot of brownfield properties between King and Charles available for development.

I knew there was podium parking, but I thought that there would need to be more underground than they currently have.

Excavation across the Charles St is progressing. Footings on the King St side are about 2/3 across.
