Eeek, these brownfield sites get ugly. Luckily there aren't many more left in the region.

So I'm assuming there's no contamination on the north end of the property. If it turns out that the clean-up must be done first, I hope the province puts their money where there mouth is and pays for the clean-up. All this intensification talk from Places to Grow is pretty useless if the province doesn't provide some serious incentives.

From the Outlook on Cambridge paper, construction will commence in April.

Anything constructed near the river is a good sign. Although I'm not a fan of identical buildings side by side.

I ran by the site today and noticed a tractor at one end. Hopefully they'll start with the contamination clean-up this coming week.

I ran by the site again today and they're well into digging and cleaning the contamination. There are pipes on the site, as well as tractors. Water and Ainslie streets have been narrowed to one lane in each direction and the right-most lane, going south, has been torn up. I think they're extending the sidewalks there and possibly redoing the area to make it more predestrian friendly.

Update:

The wooden sign is back up on Ainslie street, so the sidewalks must be done. From the Mill Race trail, you can see that they've dug a hole and moved a bunch of dirt over to the south. A new fence has also been set up on the north end of the site. It appears they will have to dig out a concrete foundation that was there previously. So work was certainly done last week, although I didn't see any activity happening today.

Update on the site today. They've dug a big hole!

There was a punch of pipes just south of the site in the abandoned parking lot.

I don't have any pictures, but building 1 of this project is already above ground by one storey and the frame of the basement is already finished. Hopefully the crane should be up shortly.

Picture of the building going up today.

Drove past the site the other day and they are on the fourth or fifth floor. Anyone in the area to take pictures?

I'm in Cambridge, but am soon going on vacation out-of-province for a few weeks. I'm sure if I take pics once I get back in January, there will be some amazing progress to display.

Curious, why does this almost appear that it will be stucco? The renderings show it to be pretty glassy.

Ya I thought the same. It makes me wonder....

Looks weak so far.

Last time I checked they had a webcam on their website.
