ANS again reported that Thiel is expecting a summer start for this development.
Not sure what steps are left before a building permit can be issued. Presumably this will be done in stages to minimize disruptions to existing tenants.
Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.

I really like some of the pedestrian-oriented details like the glass awnings. Glass awnings are ubiquitous in Vancouver and make a lot of sense in rainy cities.
Hopefully we'll also one day see a new development across the street that will include restoring the Dennis Building facade. That is one of the last prominent holes in Halifax's business district.
-3 cranes at Citadel site.
-2 at Nova Centre
-library crane
-waterside crane
-TD crane
-Sister sites? Maybe Cunard site?
I don't know how likely all that is but I would not be surprised if 8-10 cranes would be a new record. The old record is probably something like 4 or 5, set back when there was a big project like Scotia Square or Purdy's plus a couple of other smaller ones. I've certainly never seen anything on this level before. The impact over the next few years will probably be similar to the impact of the 80's building boom, except I think this time around there is a much better mix of buildings and they are better designed.

And I really want to add Fenwick to the grand list... but we'll see how quickly it proceeds with destroying the hill's view of the Atlantic Ocean.

ANS reported tonight that construction is "just weeks away".
The article also mentions the demolition of two buildings, which is odd. There's only the one older building adjacent to TD now, and its facade was supposed to be preserved but this wasn't mentioned in the article. I thought the approach would be similar to Waterside.
