Up to the 9th floor

Walked by this the other day. Looks like they have started to stick build the window wall for the commercial units. No glass is in place yet, but it looks like they will be pretty big pieces. On another note, little disappointed to see at the commercial spaces they are building partition walls. Really thought this would have been the perfect location for an urban Zehrs. Hopefully we still get some interesting retail in these units. The one would be great for a mini Adventure Guide. Doubtful, but one can dream. I used to love going to that store, but I will never visit the boardwalk location.

I was recently reading architectural files for a condo tower and it stated there would be a grocery store on the ground floor. Can't remember which one it was, though. In fact, I've been drowning in work so I don't even remember if it was Waterloo Region but I'm 99% certain it was.

Station Park has a "Proposed Grocery" on their vision page, https://www.stationpark.com/vision . Might it have been that?

The proposal for a building in the parking lot between Manulife's old downtown location and the Tannery (bounded by Charles, Water, Joseph and Francis) had a proposed grocery store on the ground floor, but I think that particular proposal stalled and while there's been talk of others I don't know that they have made the same sorts of claims about a ground floor grocery.

The had Sobey's either signed up or were showing it as a placeholder (which isn't typically done with a brandname)

That would be a conceptual grocery store, right? At that stage of development it would be highly unlikely that the developer would have commercial tenants signed up, I would think.

Today

RE: City Centre/Young Condominiums | 17, 25 & 6 fl | U/C - Spokes - 08-02-2021

I originally didn't like the redesign, and I think I still prefer the original, but I'm coming around to this

RE: City Centre/Young Condominiums | 17, 25 & 6 fl | U/C - ac3r - 08-02-2021

I like how well the King Street section is interacting with the street. With no setback or anything, it looks huge.

RE: City Centre/Young Condominiums | 17, 25 & 6 fl | U/C - Spokes - 08-03-2021

Agreed. It's my favourite part of the project

Crane was raised here today, and the brickwork for the King St facade appears to be progressing rapidly. Hopefully the King St sidewalk will reopen soon.

That lack of setback is going to really change the feel of that section of King Street. I wish we had more buildings like that going up. I hate the angled sections of that though...that's such a shitty architectural technique to make a façade look more interesting without needing to do any effort.

Angled sections? The ones next to the 2F windows?
