^ looks like shoring has started.

I'm hoping someone with more knowledge in this area than I can help me out here... If construction (as opposed to simply demolition) is supposed to be starting soon, why did they fill in the hole from the parking garage at this site?

Probably so that they can get the shoring closer to the edge of the site.

The drill rigs need a level, stable site to work from otherwise they tip over with the best of cows. Also the caisson walls preventing the site from collapsing in on itself during excavation are most effective from street level and not one storey down.

Does anyone know when the spaghetti factory is shutting down?

I walked past the construction at lunch today, shoring is definitely underway. They've finished off the SE corner of the lot and they're working there way down 3rd Ave towards the Old Spaghetti Factory. The other building in the pictures above on 2nd Ave is completely down now, just debris sitting in the lot now.

It's not - until the second phase.

Pretty sure the info in this title could be updated to UC & Approved.

I think they've even completed the first floor of parking!
