Well 3 more weeks. I wonder if this groundbreaking is a picture with shovels in the ground and then an empty site for months again? Or will there actually be some equipment on site for once lol. Both wouldnt surprise me

ya I agree, been waiting a long time. I am not sure a few shovels in the ground will make me excited about this, although better than watching weeds grow. When I see something being built rising above grade is when I will get excited. Sorry for not being more optimistic.

They even were nice enough to tease us more by putting up 2 billboards.

I don't think the design is complete for the parkade, nor the hotel above. Typically they have to match or a thick transfer slab is required.

The Bess · #**307** Posted **Jun 11, 2016, 2:14 PM**

Would probably be pretty tough designing parkade when you don't know the height of the condo on top also. Unless they do know.

Crisis · #**308** Posted **Jun 11, 2016, 5:59 PM**

There is a lot of design to yet be done. As of 2 months ago, they had their architects on board but no engineering firms yet engaged. I can't see the ground breaking being anything more than ceremonial.

2 weeks until the big day.

macca · #**311** Posted **Jun 15, 2016, 3:47 PM**

hotel/condo is 1st phase of the site, east tower is first phase of office development.

^^^^ Damn good-looking project. Wow!!! ^^^^

macca · #**314** Posted **Jun 15, 2016, 4:15 PM**

Though the renderings and description don't agree. The image shows the condo smaller than the hotel.

Targeting is the Key Word. As are the monthly changes..

Dependent on the Market/Pre-Sales

I still say go 27 stories for condo..... think for the future.

Crisis · #**317** Posted **Jun 15, 2016, 11:11 PM**

Man, talk about trying to follow the bouncing ball. I'll be very interested to see where on the site the ground breaking will take place.

As of 2 months ago, the Hotel/Condo building and the portion of the parkade directly beneath it was going to be the first part of the development to proceed. To suddenly shift to the east office tower would indicate that Triovest has landed a major tenant for the site, which is something that has stymied any new office tower construction in Saskatoon for quite a while.

Hopefully, I'll be proved wrong, but I don't expect to see any meaningful construction taking place on site this year.

There was that article about investors seeking saskatoon. Could by why the east tower is a go. But your right... with this bouncing ball.... its hard to say what goes 1st. Could even be both? Who knows. We always need hotels...

Lets just be thankful this is the most action weve heard about this development. After the ceremonial....thats what will tell the true story. In my mind... i think hotel condo and east tower will be going all at once. I can bet after that... NPD will get the downtown towers going next year. Ill email both parties to get details lol

Might see some prep. work, sign of faith/progress, but probably correct.

Well this is the week. Hope were all not let down once again. I wonder if that 18 month deadline to complete each phase is still active?
