Apparently they have significant work to do now in the basement to strengthen the foundation for the one tower revision. Full mobilization should be any time now.

Did they though? It’s either the same size or, apparently, 1 floor taller Than originally envisioned

Was supposedly a 27 storey and a 17 storey tower originally

So from 44 storeys of development it’s now downsized to possibly just 28?

Here is what previous sources said:

And the older renders for fun comparison (front page links are dead for me so)

Edit: unless it got downsized from the initial reveal and has now be re-upsized?

I also remember the smaller building as being a residential building. Hopefully by 2040/50 they build the second residence.

Spoke with a friend of mine who works for Northland who says it is "active now" (sutton) with ~5 people, "slowly getting things ready"... take that with a grain of salt I suppose

Don't forget most GC's generally self perform very little of a construction project. The projects effectively get built by trades.
