The crane went up 7 months ago....and now topped out already! This one is 10 stories at the highest level. |

Brick is going in on the upper floors, and the front doors and windows are going in on the Bishop St. townhouses. I never fail to be impressed by Dexel's quality of design and the efficiency of their project management.
Also, the title of this thread should be updated to Flynn Flats. |

Have no fear, the red wall is not a repeat of the Dillon; it is almost fully covered up now with a ceramic tile-type product.
Glass and doors are mostly in on the ground floors. And for you crane watchers: I got a notice in my mailbox that Hollis is going to be closed this coming weekend to facilitate the removal of the crane. |

I'm super happy with this tile cladding product they're using.

I will still wait to see the final product when all the other components are added but I think this material is not well suited to replicate stone or textured patterns over a large area. |

It's usually pretty easy to tell which ones are well cared for and which are at risk. For example, those wooden rowhouses on Morris Street are always kept in good shape, but I wouldn't be surprised if the owner tries to sell or tear down the 3 storey apartment building across from Flynn Flats. It's too bad; a good restoration job could turn that into a very attractive building that would complement the neighbourhood well. The same was true of the buildings torn down for Flynn Flats.

On that topic, have there been any updates on these two Barrington St. buildings that are at risk of demolition? https://goo.gl/maps/QmMCVPhaUGu https://goo.gl/maps/RJDpaZZhNT82 |

As for the building across from Flynn Flats, yeah, that would be an atrocious loss. It's pitiful that the conversation district for here has been in a holding pattern for so long. |
