Regina Construction IV

[gecho111]

Sounds like several councilors want to cancel the library to pay for the pool, though they prefer to frame it as a postponement.

The former is Remai's rental project for "retired and pre-retired" folks:



1510 is the empty lots on the NW corner of St. Johns. A 19 unit building was previously proposed there. I suspect they added a floor.

And previously an Office was proposed at 1751 (when Fiorante still owned the site):

1751 college permit is $13 million

1510 is $4.6 million

these are generally far less the total cost.

I also note that NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH CANADA pulled a permit for a new Church at the corner of Chuka and Green Falls. This is right across the street from the giant Living Hope Alliance Church. There's going to be serious serious bible thumping in that neighbourhood!

Years ago there was a discussion on this forum about why most copper roofs in Regina turned black instead of green (Leg, Hotel SK). The conclusion was low humidity. The Globe theatre was the exception.

I am going to make a prediction that the copper sheathing they applying now to the roof will turn black and not match the rest of the roof.

I heard rumors the new owner of The Empire Hotel buildings was doing some work at the site. Today walking buy I saw some orange construction fences going up.

Anyone heard what the plans for the site are?

I heard that it was being demolished.
Was the fence just around the empire hotel or any other buildings (i.e. the entire block)? If the latter, that would suggest it was all coming down (which is what the rumour is).

Great Another major parking spot for the next 30 years. The mayor stated the other city mayors previous never did anything. Looks like she’s doing the same thing. She had four or five years to do something nothing was done

Just the other day I was wondering if they make copper paint with real copper (was getting annoyed with algae repeatedly forming in my outdoor water fountain). That rabbit hole took me to a youtube video where after painting a wall they used a solution to force it to turn green right away.

I believe the fence is only around the building on 11th (tattoo parlour).
