How many years have that scaffolding been up for?

Dollarama is now at the former London Drugs

Is this the Jeff Davison Parking Lot? ;)

This video has a better depiction of the birds on the fountain, which look larger and more whimsical. The owl is my favourite :cool: It definitely looks inspired by the Berczy Park fountain

I think it would be cool if they put a Time Out Market food hall at the downtown location similar to the one in Montreal or even an Eataly would be great

Aren't Sharp and Maclean, the anti-density voting block?

I didn't realize that KPMB was behind this project, but this would be the third KPMB project in our city along with Arts Commons and Contemporary Calgary. They have some better quality renderings on their site:
