Exciting!

I received an email from Todd at Bright Star Corp saying demo would "re-commence" this Monday. I have to admit I didn't believe him. A case in which I am happy to be wrong!

Just drove by and although there is no action, there is lots of equipment including a huge track hoe, dump truck, bobcat, pickups, etc.

After over a year of delays Regina’s Plains Hotel is finally set to come down on Wednesday, says Greg Black with Bright Star Capital Point.

A back hoe and some construction equipment are now standing on the site.

Crews will start with the two wings on the east side of the building. The section facing the street will be done at night to minimize traffic issues with people watching.

Black says the Hilton Hotel should be open early fall 2013 in time for Grey Cup.

“We know the city will be flooded with visitors from all over Canada,” says Black.

“It’s a great time for us to show off our new products.”

Black says people should be able to live in the condos on the lower levels by the end of 2013.

I honestly thought it was not going to happen there for a while.

Chadillaccc · #**795** Posted **Nov 29, 2011, 6:43 AM**

Wow that is amazing news. I'm actually ecstatic for you guys right now! Was really discouraged for a while, but now they're saying the hotel and entire exterior should be done by mid/fall 2013!? That is wicked! Good job Regina

So far, they're just tearing down the old building. Whole different ball game if they actually start digging in the spring. We'll cross our fingers and take it one step at a time.
