I hate to nitpick, but the parking lot at SE Hargrave and Notre Dame is downtown. Hargrave is the boundary for that particular short block between Notre Dame and Cumberland.

It looks great! I guess we are finally seeing something after talk about a museum at the old terminal site after all these years.

It looks like they moved the red house on Balmoral to work on the basement/foundation.

I agree. And after hearing about that potential development near Bishop and Waverley I wonder what is happening. If people were priced out of the city, then okay but it's bizarre how developers develop out in an industrial area with a long commute time and think that's smart.

From what I could see earlier this week, they stripped off all the exterior brick, raised it onto moving beams, and are giving it a new foundation. has it actually moved from it's original position?

Bishop Grandin Crossing is so bad and makes me so angry. I hope the developer loses money on it. Sprawl for the sake of sprawl, hate it.

Nobody loves it, but what's the alternative? That land would most likely just become a low density old-school industrial park.

All the large vacant properties in the City will be developed no matter what. BG Crossing is another example. People are simply playing the game that the City has set out. If money is to be made, they'll take it. Can't really blame them either. It should be the City creating and enforcing better regulations.

Yes, it was closer to the intersection

It's demise cannot come soon enough. The sooner it is replaced by construction fencing, the better. The above image needs to become:
