Love this. Can we tackle Partridge Island rejuvenation while we're at it? lol

Here's another photo from Facebook of Americold's new facility under construction at the port:

Great shot, shows how huge it will be. Probably only 20% of the steel up so far.

I think each building has their own parking

I thought at one point there was talk about an above ground parkade of some sort. Of course that idea may have come and gone.

Building 4 was supposed to, quite recently, host a ~5 storey parking podium over commercial and under (I forget) either a hotel or residential tower.

Related to Fundy Quay, I recently noticed how derelict and vacant the upper floors of the Jardine Building (home of Gahan) is, on both the Prince William and Water sides. Boarded up windows! Kind of surprising, seeing as it has a ~4,200sf footprint and on each of three floors. You could get a dozen large top-end apartments in there.

Fire code issues relating to second egress? Asbestos? I can't imagine it's the cost of sprinklers, electrical, and plumbing keeping this empty. It's got to be more complex than that.

Union Station is above Gahan and it’s quite nice. Wondering if it’s just the windows that need replacing. Also I know there are high end apartments in one of the other derelict looking building beside it - you can see the fancy chandelier in the window walking along PW. But yes I agree they are an eyesore now with everything around them getting fixed up.

Looks to be 19-stories now instead of the original 16. So, both future North buildings have increased in number of stories. Now 19 stories and 23-24 stories instead of the original 16 stories and 19 stories.

That would be great! I hope it comes to pass
