That new tower balances it things out nicely. We're finally getting a little cluster.

That Aisle24 shop is now open

[J.OT13]

Good to hear. Wish it was a normal corner store though. Can't imagine a whole lot of people will deliberately walk to Aisle24, or just walk in as they happen to pass, since you need to be registered on the app (?) Could be worth it for most residents of the island to register though since it's the only game in... town (town being the island).

The Aisle24 business model doesn't depend on trying to attract people who are just passing by. They are selling a service to landlords who know it is easier to attract tenants if there's someplace close to buy bread, milk, etc. The "customer" in other words, isn't the shopper - it's the property owner.

Right now there aren't enough people living on the island to justify a normal convenience store. But between Voda and Block 204, Zibi will soon have more than 400 rental units fronting Head St Square. Let's assume Aisle24 only breaks even: it's still worth it to Zibi if it helps them fill more empty units.

Wish one of the two was a few floors taller.

[SL123]

I've had the same thought! the difference in total floors is not big enough to be noticeable

Progress update

That horizontal white banding looks very promising. I can only assume it would continue along the balcony slab based on the rendering.

I appreciate the similarity to its neighbouring tower.

[OTSkyline]

Looks like this one is topped out now.

From LeDroit today.

Le Groupe Zibi doit prochainement revenir au comité consultatif d’urbanisme pour faire approuver son projet d’immeuble de 23 étages comprenant 250 logements à l’entrée du pont des Chaudières, à l’angle des rues Laurier et Eddy.

Not the greatest angle to see the cladding but that bone and white is looking pretty smart with the black frames. Certainly unique.

I haven't gon through there for a little while, but when I did, there was such a drastic change to the immediate area and it's landscape. I wonder if once we finally start heading towards warmer weather, the foot traffic on those islands will go up...

River is getting quite high. Early in the video, we can see the purpose of the design for the new park on the Hull side in action.
