Thanks
lrdevlop, I'm glad to hear that there is so much interest in 55 Queen, and that the developers might be doing other projects in the core in the future.
In fact, what the downtown
really needs is a cluster of perhaps three buildings of similar quality to 55 Queen in the same neighbourhood (behind city hall) in order to build momentum.
The east end of downtown is reviving, with the city hall complex, Blue Cross, the Marriott Hotel and the small residential buildings on the east end of Assomption, but if you added in several condo buildings like 55 Queen into the mix, that could be a game changer for the area, and could really serve as a catalyst for even more residential and commercial development.
Perception is
everything. If people think the east end in booming then it will indeed boom. I wish the developers well and look forward to shovels in the ground next year!
And, oh by the way, the wood framing for this little bit of infill on the corner of Botsford and Victoria (also in the east end and only about a block away) is starting to go up......
