Reminds me of the Habs tower a little. The more rental the better.

Nice little building. I like all of the wood incorporated in it. The underside of the balconies with wood is a nice touch.

I'm not sure if this has made the rounds yet.

Indeed, but is that brick or cork board? Hahaha.

That former warehouse is a bit of a PoMo disaster right now - looks like part of the plan would be to restore the facade at least to it's original state. I imagine the building is one of the first modern office conversions in the area.

Ah, so right behind the Mirvish-Gehry proposal.

Ya but this is a re-vamped design.

[koops65]

Nope... that's the original proposal from a few months ago. Here is the UT article, from May 18th:

Oops, I was thinking of a proposal a block north.

[WhipperSnapper]

Saskatchewan forumers never post in the Canadian constuction threads anymore but I stumbled upon this from Saskatoon construction thread this last week..

Heritage designation of the Third Avenue United Church received a nod of support from the provincial heritage review board that was convened when the designation was objected to at City Council last year. Now the matter can go back to Council for a final decision.

The objector (and former owner of the church), John Orr, has come forward with drawings of what he planned to do with the property had he held on to it:
