I wonder if they'll put in the wood soffits from the rendering under the patios? They look unfinished.

120 James should start in spring 2026. The twin tower former Windsor Hotel site should start in summer 2026. 38 Albert should start anytime now. Maws garage is hopeful for summer 2026.

What’s the over under on how long it takes them to “accidentally” knock down the St Charles?

I wonder what material the beige colour on the James project ended up being? Lots of big scale, low design quality buildings coming to our National Historic Site.

Looking forward to the Windsor project. Will help that area.

What’s proposed 38 Albert? Any permits show up yet?

Not the best, but another step forward for the district.

A rooftop patio AND a parkade at the main floor?! Nice!

I wish they would have just tried a little bit.

Especially considering they have received 1 million in housing accelerator funding.

Accelerator money is for project viability.

The City and various departments (heritage, etc.) are responsible to determine the minimum standards for the lipstick.

In any event, this one is currently over budget, so there are likely some changes to come.
