The Gaslight District | completed

Slow and steady the definition on this one eh? Didn't sales commence early 2017? Wouldn't want my money to be tied up from then +2-3 years from now. Potentially 6 year dev. Yikes.

I was by the other day and grabbed a few photos again. There has been more above ground progress and some more forms poured, crane still isn't up though. 

So yes, really slow

Tower crane is being put up today.

[Bjays93]

Crane is up. Concrete wall on the far right side of the site (by the theatre) is quite prominent as well.

Finally. The project in Galt to spark a Renaissance of sorts - big expectations. It already won some local 'architecture design' award or something before the crane even went up.

Any updated pics?

Any updated pics?

I can get some over the weekend or on monday (I could tonight but it would be dark) I had just been waiting for something a little more substantial before photographing again

[Bjays93]

Couple days late but as promised heres an assortment of photos from the site.

Thanks for the pics! Are those cement walls part of the tower(s) or some peripheral structure being built?

Based on the renders, I'm fairly certain that's the outermost structural wall on the tower. The inside area around the existing heritage structures will remain largely unchanged but will become public space. Both towers are on the outside of the lot. (As per the render at least)

This site is well above grade and looking like a monstrosity. Getting a little worried, though I guess I shouldn't have expected much from HIP. Will try to photograph next time im by.

LOL @ monstrosity. What like Cambridge's Circa (which turned out somewhat acceptable in the end :p)

This is supposed to be Galt's pride and joy...paving the way for a Kitchener-Waterloo-esque flurry of non-stop development!

So far I'd say it's looking worse than circa, which I still think is awful anyway.

Could we get some pics to show the "monstrosity"?

HIP may not be the best but the plans for this always looked like they had potential. I'm curious how it looks as well.
