I don't think the exterior needs more than brick repointing, window and entry work, and a roof. AFAIK neither St Pat's nor St Vincent's are getting the Woodstock Middle School treatment. The purported structural problems that closed the school were extremely overblown, from all I've heard.
And on the subject of St Vincent's, the roof work was done in 2024. A lot of internal structural work and analysis has been done since then. I was kind of hoping it would be first. IIRC, the units will generally be contained in the former classroom spaces.
No idea how many units they can get in there, or how much parking, but it's going to be a super cool project. 56,000 square feet for the above-ground-level floors not counting the gym. The windows facing the back of St Joe's pose a challenge, but that's where you put your MLI-Select-required affordable units, I guess. The south facing wall will get great natural light, no issues on the Cliff St side either.
What I'm most interested in is what they'll do with the gym and the ground floor sections.
