Yes. Colin and I took a walk down the other day to take a look. They've removed a bunch of the bedrock outcropping on the apartment site so the trucks could get through. The driveway was a mess of rutted mud from where the trucks went through; can't say I'd be happy if I was one of the apartment tenants. It'll be interesting to see what the developer does with that apartment site; it's not that big and is really close to the back side of Lotus Point. It's too bad they didn't own it from the start so they could integrate it into the Lotus Point design.
Mark, that photo makes me really sad the post office tower burnt down. I'm curious what that building is in the area that is now the post office parking lot. The post office building is pretty empty now. I went in yesterday to inquire about getting a Canada Post van moved (it was in my parking spot) and they said there were only two people in the whole building. I wonder how much of a future it has as a postal location. Hopefully, if Canada Post ever does divest, it doesn't get demolished and instead gets integrated into whatever happens on the site. Maybe with a reconstruction of the tower (one can dream...).
