It's great to be getting some density on this corner!

My mistake...

Okay, I can safely say the crane was being erected here today. For reals this time!

I can also confirm this

Opsal, starting it's upward climb:

^ Nice progress, thanks for the photo updates.
It's one I'm looking forward to because of the height and the location.
At 74 meters I think it will be the tallest in SEFC, for now (not counting Citygate which is a bit out of the area).

This will definitely be the tallest in the area, perhaps taller than whatever gets built on the McDonalds/Easy Park site at Terminal & Quebec as well. What I really can't wait for is the Executive Group's buildings to go up and block as much of WCFC as possible. They are really not turning out all that well.

If it's possible... the WCFC paint colour choices are even worse than James!

A little hard to see, but work has started on the reconstruction of the old Opsal building. That scaffolding is related to the reconstruction and a few of the old beams are in place:

The original wood from the old Opsal building is under the plastic:

Wow, this one is growing up fast! I am guessing they will top this out already in March.

entheosfog · #36 Posted: **Jan 2, 2013, 6:07 AM**

It's actually pretty slender, given the fact the old building is getting reconstructed right beside it.

Jebby · #37 Posted: **Jan 2, 2013, 5:17 PM**

What's going to go in the old building?

entheosfog · #38 Posted: **Jan 3, 2013, 5:34 AM**

I don't think the tenant has been determined yet but I think the developer wants to keep it as semi-public place, like a restaurant as opposed to offices.

Hopefully it is kept open. Do you know how big it is? Could it fit more than one restaurant?

Not sure on the size, someone on here could probably answer that. I know the rebuilt heritage building will be smaller than it originally was due to the tower being built on the corner, part of where the old building used to sit.
