Excavation is well under way. This photo is from a few days ago, the shoring now comes all the way to the front of the property. I think they'll be fully excavated in a week or two.

I never thought I'd see the day that something was actually happening on this site. We used to live in that apartment building, and on that side, so definitely a welcome improvement.

The road is closed, and the progress is visible.

One level.

It looks like the crane pad is being worked on.

They're getting ready for the crane.

Also, previously I'd speculated about this site being run jointly with the Ophelia site next door, but Otis is being done by Zehr while Ophelia is Van Mar. The fact Zehr is doing this makes me wonder how deeply Momentum has become involved in this project.

Crane is going up today. This apparently means 14 cranes at once in the region right now!

14 cranes just in DTK. The region as a whole is higher.

Three cranes in the photo, it's become a busy area for construction.

Almost a full year later and barely more than one floor complete. Slow progress on this one!

The underground parts were quite slow. Now that they are above ground, it seems to be progressing more quickly -- or maybe it's just more visible now.
