"While the city stated the hotel will be completed in 2028, Northland Properties declined to say when it will open."

Lol, should we start taking bets on which 2030 year it'll be completed?

Here’s the reverse shot. You can make out bomberjet in the skywalk:

Sorry no pic but there was a human in the crane today and it was picking up scaffolding (?) or something to continue framing the second floor. I’d guess close to half is set up for second floor pour. Lots of workers on site today.

The Wawanesa HQ really is a nice looking tower.

I wish we knew what the heck the Sutton will look like.

People should probably temper their expectations. In all likelihood, it will look very similar (perhaps marginally more upscale) to the new Sandman Signature by the Airport, except slightly higher since it will sit on a podium and have a glass (if we are lucky) skywalk running in front of it. Probably not the worst outcome given the situation and developer, but a significant departure from the original plans we were shown pre-COVID.

This is my expectation as well.

Decent amount of progress the past two weeks. I walk by it every day and there's always at least 20 people on site.

Apologies, my liege. PostImages was acting up and I was locked in on something.

This is from a couple of days ago, when they were pouring the back corner. You can see guys on the crane - looks like they were setting things up again.

I wonder if they're going to lengthen the jib on the crane. Or bring in something else for the part next to Wawanesa. Cause the crane isn't long enough.

I guess if that part is only 2 stories tall, it's not as big of an issue. If only we could see some plans for the site.

Thank you my vassal for your artistry.

I had to look up what a liege was, so I hope I am using vassal correctly.

It's good to see actual visual progress finally.
