This can be moved to the under construction sub-forum.

not yet,there"s no crane

Having a crane is not a criteria for a thread to be moved to the under construction sub-forum.

I saw footings however I now see it is just for the residential component. Sorry for my lack of reading abilities. :cool:

That's quite an excavation for just residential. HBJ indicated a building permit had been obtained for Kirby Grove, but didn't cite which piece of the project it was for.

I believe both the residential and office are U/C. They had a segment in the HBJ about the office one breaking ground soon.

The apartment building has two underground levels for parking, and the office building has one, so the excavation would be somewhat larger for a project of this size by default.

Looks like they should have a crane on that base soon...

The crane is up now.

^^^ was just about to say I saw it this weekend!

Then this is ready for the UC board.

Construction on the office tower begins in August.

I'll have to go looking for this one.

The trees are moving...

Old trees moved during revamp of Upper Kirby park

Got some pictures, since I was staying a block away this past weekend.
