This and Ventus over on 17th. both are moving quickly. Heck even 6th and 10th is moving along quickly now. Could it be the downturn in the economy has created more availability of labor and services?

The Minto proposal isn't shown as 11 storeys high, but rather 9 (at 26 m). But I agree, it's a nice-looking project. The re-zoning plan for Minto Kensington was approved by City Council about a week ago. From the minutes:

Welcome apo383, and thanks for the updates!
Glad to hear Minto's re-zoning was approved.

Thanks for posting apo383! I'm happy to see some more upzoning for Sunnyside. It's such a great location for medium density projects like the Minto one, and has been underutilized as a neighborhood.

These guys have moved quickly on this. It seems like only 6 months ago they started excavation. Does anyone remember when they started excavation?
Oddball
Senior Member
Yeah I totally agree. I've been surprised by the speed of this one all the way along. Using the pictures in this thread as a timeline. It looks like Feb-Mar was the start of excavation in earnest. So yeah, they're about 6-7 months in and now above grade.
