RE: The Hub | 44m | 14fl | proposed - Spokes - 04-11-2016
I didn't realize how big this lot is. Quite the chunk of land.
RE: The Hub | 44m | 14fl | U/C - rangersfan - 06-26-2016
The buildings have all been demolished and a tower crane base has been installed.
RE: The Hub | 44m | 14fl | U/C - Markster - 08-26-2016
Things are well underway here:
RE: The Hub | 44m | 14fl | U/C - jwilliamson - 09-01-2016
A second crane was being erected on site today.
RE: The Hub | 44m | 14fl | U/C - Spokes - 09-05-2016
Is this going up in phases, or all at once?

Phases. 365 Albert and then 130 Columbia.
RE: The Hub | 44m | 14fl | U/C - jwilliamson - 10-03-2016
3rd and 4th cranes are going up right now.
RE: The Hub | 44m | 14fl | U/C - rangersfan - 10-03-2016
This is the highest number of cranes I have seen on a local project. I guess they mean business.

Well when it comes to concrete it is Sirius!

I'm glad this is finally starting. However, I'm still disappointed in the updated designs. It looks like a hospital now, where the original renders would have added an incredibly unique, neo-modern architectural project to the cities.
RE: The Hub | 44m | 14fl | U/C - white_brian - 10-14-2016
I agree the initial design was far better in my opinion

The forest of cranes have been reduced to a singe one.
There's quite the progress on this, and it's looking rather good, all things considered.
Here are some twitter updates:

Move-in August 2017? You know what, I think they'll pull it off. Not 100%, but this won't be a 1 Columbia by a long shot. pic.twitter.com/ueFhevlFqi

The Albert St side. Access to the "promenade" through this short tunnel. pic.twitter.com/mWgdKmX87Y

From the north, this thing is quite impressive. The canted balconies do a good job distracting from some otherwise rote architecture pic.twitter.com/tdu34o9Lg9

The Columbia frontage has a few 2-storey retail units. A coffee shop will do well here for students needing a hit on the way into campus pic.twitter.com/5zec8eREIy

Unfortunately Columbia access to the promenade is up this giant staircase. Not the most inviting. I hope they have signage for what's inside pic.twitter.com/zYliqbLnKk

Thanks for the updates! can't wait to see this one finished and used... really curious about the commercial units. If I recall correctly it has some interior retail in the promenade right?

Student move-ins delayed again, this time for TheHub in Waterloo
Quote:Residents of ICON, Columbia One and the K2 buildings all experienced move-in delays, and now so will tenants scheduled to move on Sept. 3 into Towers 7, 8 and 9 at TheHub on 130 Columbia St.
I've made a thread to talk about (more generically) the problem of missed September occupancy targets:

Does anyone have any updated "finished" pictures of this?
