I think its going to be a 5-story parking garage with a green roof, providing a rec area for residents of the two towers.
I believe the city signed a 25-year lease for it as well. And I agree with GTN. I don't want downtown London to become a giant block of concrete. |

Yeah Glass towers are wonderful, just ask all the people in Toronto living in the glass towers in the 10 to 15 year old range. They love their 10's of thousands of dollars in special assessments.

Drove by this afternoon actually looks really good coming down York St...I like the fact they are different, #2 has it's windows almost looking like 2 big panes running from top to bottom. Did not look like that last week but looks good I think

Speaking of York St and kinda off topic, but does anyone know what is going in across from the Beal football field? Driving by yesterday all I could catch was "York Centre" and the old building was being demo'd |

As for Ren II, seeing that they copied what they did for Ren I was a pleasant surprise!:) Now as long as we get some decent retail going at the base, and the parking garage between the two buildings isn't too ugly, I will have no complaints! |
^I like that red roaster cafe in the base of Ren1

^Thanks for the update Bolognium! :)
Kinda sad to see the crane taken down now. Its lights have been a welcome part of the downtown skyline for a while now. |
I'm sad to see the crane go as well. It really added to the view from my hallway window, it's definitely not the same now that the crane's gone.
Here's the view in August '11 (also notice that the cool skylight bottom-left is gone in the later pictures): http://i.imgur.com/qzBvQKV.jpg This one was taken a few nights before the crane was taken down: http://i.imgur.com/5mCWT3c.jpg Here's the crane the morning before it was removed. You can also see the jack section at the top, used to raise/lower the crane by adding/removing new sections: http://i.imgur.com/I15r14h.jpg And this one's just a personal favourite from this past summer: http://i.imgur.com/Lc2wnd2.jpg |
Anybody know how Tim Best's loansharking business is faring? I've heard that the food at Fryday Night-Lights tastes as bad as the patio looks.

From yesterday:
http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1361636608 The second tower must be almost finished now. Anyone know if people have started moving in yet? |
I was on Tricars website and it says that the Ren 2 condo project is 95% sold out. I'm quite surprised by this. Is the building totally finished? Could another condo tower be on its way if this has been so successful?
