Using their experience at the Viscount Bennett site, here's hoping they can take on some other former institutional properties and turn them into multi-family, multi-structure developments. Thinking of at least part of Westbrook specifically if not some other TOD.
 
Went past the old Nexen building on the train tonight and it had me wondering if the UofC conversion had opened yet and if there has been any plans announced for the rest of the building?

Classes start there this week. I toured through it briefly yesterday, much nicer space than the old central library site.

I am not, fortunate circumstances led to me being able to check it out. While SAPL has access to it apparently, one of the floors is a fully stocked gym with towel service and such. Not sure what the cost will be, and I assume it will also be for future tenants in the building.

Interesting they have a gym set up before there really being any tenants in the building. Maybe something will get announced shortly.

Or they might be using amenities like the "fitness centre" to attempt to draw in tenants in much the way Aspen has done for Edison and Ampersand.
 
Not sure where to post this, but recently came across the Hilton at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, which looks like a sister building to our central library!

Land use redesignation at 17th and 1st street SW. Looks to be infilling the empty lot.

This could be an exciting one to watch. O2 has in the past been involved in some pretty ambitious proposals (Broadway on 17th, Marc & Mada, the Grace Hospital site, getting Kit approved at 15 storeys in Kensington) so I am curious to see what the plan is for this site. Hopefully we'll see a concept plan soon.
