I think there's one or two more floors to go? Was wondering if the McMaster building might beat it! The McMaster building is absolutely flying along.

Can someone remind me how many residents this is expected to bring to the downtown?

IIRC it's around 600 units so it would be a little under 1,000 residents.

75 James actually has more units from what I recall, even though it's only one tower.

So we're looking at at least 2000 more residents in the immediate area around Gore Park in the next 2-3 years. I wonder what kind of impact that is going to have on the overall vibe in the area. Will it be noticable?

The merchants will notice. Even if only 5-10% of these new residents will stop by they will notice.

I regularly drive by 154 main and there are always people coming and going from that building. Usually 1-2 people crossing main at every signal cycle. And that's for a building with under 300 units.

By my count there are currently around 2,500 units under construction in the wider downtown area, which will equal a new population of just under 5,000 people. It will absolutely make a huge difference.

Looks like 30th floor is being poured, just needs the walls and roof and it's donezo. When was the expected completion of this again? I know it's a while off, but I haven't see any ads, so that must mean it's at least another 12 months?

These 2 certainly changed the appearance/added some serious bulk to the downtown skyline when viewed from the 403 coming down the mountain, or from the north by Aldershot...
