The downtown Commercial Street remake gets underway. Leaving it inaccesible to vehicle traffic for the next few months.

Looks like there's fencing that's up around that old Howard Johnson hotel site, for that massive mixed use tower project. There's a sign that says ' future mixed use development ' - looks like this will actually be going through ?

by the way, moved here from Saskatoon sk last year for a job transfer. Longtime poster and MB/SK MOD.

love what Nanaimo has to offer and looking forward to these current, upcoming, and proposed projects here. There's definitely a ton of opportunity.

Visited the HoJo site and saw the new chain link fence. Demolition of the hotel is supposed to get underway this fall. Encouraged to see the mixed use plans. I believe the plans of the earlier developer were before council and generally approved.



Just noticed today that the site is adjacent to the Trans Canada Trail.

The first phase of reconstruction of Commercial Street has started and it will be a construction zone there until the spring.

Work began Tuesday, Sept. 3, and involves below-ground infrastructure upgrades that shut down Commercial Street between Wharf and Church streets.

"If a vibrant downtown is often considered the heart of a community, then the 'Design Commercial' project is the defibrillator that will bring a new rhythm to downtown Nanaimo," said Mayor Leonard Krog in a press release
