I am not sure about the approval process but I seem to recall the developer pointing out a while ago that excavation would begin promptly because there's so much of it to do. That at least would be interesting to watch, even if construction isn't permitted for a few months. A busy excavation site with signs up announcing a new development looks about a million times better than an abandoned hole.
There are a few sites that are particularly bad downtown:
-Roy Building
-NFB
-Waterside
-Nova Centre
-United Gulf
If they became new buildings they'd only amount to moderate growth of the downtown as a whole but the "optics" of the area would be dramatically improved.
