The tall tower is ready for occupancy, people will be moving in very shortly, The second tower will be next to complete, followed by the Hasting building, the heritage building will be last. Hopefully all done by late this year.

If I had paid big bucks for those suites I wouldnt want the trees there. They would just take away from my view.

From the pic it doesn't look like they have allowed space for soil (either in an above grade planter or a below grade pit) - so it seems unlikely there'll be a massive tree - but a resident can put in shrubs and bamboo in planters without much problem.

The project looks a lot closer to the original renders then most projects end up doing.

Officedweller is correct, and don't be too hard on the trees just yet, the project isn't finished yet there is still quite a bit of landscaping to do, and the trees beleive it or not will grow over time.

OH THE HORROR! There is a World beyond Starbucks and Macbooks!?

There's like not even any sushi restaurants in the vicinity, either.
