Fences are now around both properties - likely to come down in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the update. And welcome to WRC!
That's great news that this is going forward. I still haven't seen anything from the city about this one though.

Found this interesting. One drawing from the design firm shows two commercial units facing Lester with an art gallery facing university. A new gallery would be interesting here for sure.

That 'lenticular' facade is pretty damn cool.

I am so, so happy that this parcel will have prominent ground level retail. It is too important an intersection to remain single-use residential.
If only it also had as nice a relation to the corner as the building on the other side of Albert.

Two cranes for a medium size development !?
Are they trying to rush this thing in time for the Fall term?

Good to know. Having not looked closely at the details I was never certain if the building in the background was part of the project or just picture back ground.
