Unfortunately, no action when I went by a few days ago.

There's a rumour floating around that all of Cantiro's highrise multi projects are on the shelf.

 

[Albertasaurus]

They did have their DP released and have their BP application in, so if they're not going ahead, they're leaving a lot of money (possibly millions of dollars) on the table.

I am still hopeful that the holdup is on the BP application - there seems to be a bit of a backlog with building permits these days.

Yeah it's taking about 2x as long as usual for a BP

Unfortunately, no action when I went by a few days ago.

I did a drive by on my way home this evening and the site looked totally abandoned

I’m thinking if they were serious they would have applied for a partial BP to allow them to start digging by now.

Don’t know if it’s related to Plaza, but there were people doing work with some of the utility wiring along side the site.

 

[Surrealplaces]

The truck there is for daylighting, so maybe not related to any wiring I don't think? That said, having daylighting in that area could still be a good sign, as it's quite possible they are doing some daylighting around the site's perimeter in preparation for some utility work ahead of drilling?

 

[Mountain Man]

If they are still waiting for the BP then there can't be much action on site.

There are some doubts about this project in this thread but the partial building permit is now released. Hopefully soon we will see a big hole in the ground for the 4 levels of underground parkade. Future 31 storeys of residential with the main floor mostly reserved for commercial retail units.

 

[Surrealplaces]

That's good news. Thanks for the update!

 

[UrbanWarrior]

That's great news. Things have slowed down in the last 6 months, with only one tower start in the inner city. Good to see theres still some action pending.

 

[FCC1982]

Thanks for the update - great news.

 

[zzkwilliamcanada]

that is good news! i wish they could start the construction soon

 

[Cowtown]

Nice to see another highrise on the horizon

I'm surprised we never got a name change here. Plaza always seemed like an odd name for a building with a minimal Plaza.
