It might also be that the size and layouts of the commercial units in these buildings fit the demand better. The front-of-house areas tend to be a bit smaller than the Spring Garden equivalents (both this development in particular and along Gottingen in general - the commercial spaces tend to be less deep and are often narrower as well). Conversely the stores that have opened in/relocated to the Doyle would have struggled to find enough space in the Velo units. I'm also not sure that construction is finished on all of the Doyle and Roy commercial spaces yet. Another area that definitely has taken a long time to finish filling in the commercial spaces is Brunswick between Duke and Cogswell - most of those spaces have been finished for years and I don't think they're fully occupied yet.

Most of the commercial units in the Nova Centre are filled now but the hotel still hasn't opened.

The scaffolding is masking it well but some exterior paneling has gone up.

Well, the Five Moes are still tied up working on the NFB project on Barrington, which surely is setting some sort of record even for them in terms of slow progress. Once that is finished in a decade of so, they can come here to install the finishing touches.

I have a birds eye view of that project from my balcony...not sure how I forgot to include it!

I'm not the biggest fan of the cladding on this part. I feel like it looks kind of cheap. I do think the building relates to the street well, and the heated and covered patio at the corner is a nice touch. It's just that the finishes feel like they could have used more attention.

The scale is good but aesthetically, yeah, a big step down from phase 1.

I like the form, but the materials on the new section look like they 3D printed a rendering from 1997.

I can't believe the same people designed phase 1 and this. Hideous indeed.

Gives Windows 3.1 backgrounds vibes.

Yeah - I'm not a fan of the colours chosen for that paneling in the photos or in person. However, I did walk past the other day and there's some nice detailing in the brick at grade level on the portion of the building that runs up Cunard St.
