They interviewed the new owner of the property on CBC this afternoon (sale is closing today). Apparently it's going to be 5 storeys with a mix of studio and 3 bedroom apartments on the top four floors. If everything lines up, he's hoping to get started in May. My guess is that deadline will slip as there are bound to be complications in figuring out how to build a new building behind the old NFB facade. The whole development is contingent on the engineers not finding that, after 22 years, the facade is too far gone to save. If that turns out to be the case, than Keith may still get his wish.
