I'm really curious about what looks like a school bus dumping ground in this picture. Is this the RAM's solution for off-site parking for school groups?

Why would the City allow that? They could build an above grade parkade ... maybe ... and just stop there. Or maybe a floor of retail and stop. Maybe 10 floors and thats it. Is the City approving "maybe" developments? Why bother to approve then. Why should the City and other utility providers be forced to size up connections and services for a large project that might never happen. The City needs to secure ALL "our" costs upfront from the developer from the get go to ensure taxpayers are not be sucked dry for a development that is delayed, changed etc.

Footing/foundation permits are often issued to get things going.

Sequential permits aren't atypical and typically issued with a fulsome or near-fulsome overall design in place, but you don't typically start building a foundation and associated building elements without having a sense of what will be built above.

Confirmed that the grocery store will start construction in Tower B/G in January? What about the rest of the tower?

Hey Ian, just curious if you've ever heard of plans to demo/redevelop the TD Bank Building at the corner of Jasper and 100th Street? This building is in need of an exterior refresh IMO.
