So it looks like this is the Israel Convenience site? The North End Diner site remains empty and I'm not sure there is an active proposal for it yet. My hope is that in the future as more lots are built up there will be less time between demolition and redevelopment and therefore fewer holes. It was terrible back in the 90s when there was almost zero interest in redeveloping sites like this one.

Architecturally this project is pretty standard now but it's a big improvement over what was built a few years ago in this neighbourhood. Given all these new mid-sized projects, the stuff planned for Young Street, Bloomfield, and Agricola Street, this could become a great area. The shipyard is another interesting factor; there will be way more employment in the North End in the future.

This is kind of random, but I wonder what the chances are that the McCully Worklofts might move forward sometime over the next few years. A lot has changed since they were first proposed.
