Some Downtown randoms:
Landscaping is done and the construction fencing is down at the former Waterloo County Courthouse/new Regional Archives. It is looking very good, although I don't know if the archives have started to move in yet. No sign yet of the artwork that's to be installed on the Queen St side.
There is a big Denzil Properties sign on the Weber Chambers building on King W advertising "Executive one-bedroom apartments". Mystery of the upstairs renovations solved.
There are four small renovation projects underway on King St E in the block between Scott and Eby Sts. A building permit in the window of 256-260 King E indicates that the former Morning Glory Café is being renovated for commercial space (the Working Centre is putting in affordable apartments upstairs).
A wee bit of brick has been laid at one corner of the new Google building - it's very dark grey (almost black) and monochrome. I hope it will be striking, but I keep getting this image in my mind:
