^Nice update! Looks like tower 2 is almost topped out.

Also looks like they are using brick for the base again, which is good to see. I was worried they might cheap out and just use paint.

great densification of a shifty area. I can already discern the positive impact on Dundas, in terms of retail.

I always thought London East was a diamond in the rough.

It will never be Richmond Row or Wortley Village but it has enough character to be a artsy kind of area but they will really have to put a concerted effort into getting rid of the junkies and prostitutes.

I think you will find that over time the gap on Dundas between Waterlou and Adelaide starts to become blurred. These developments will not only help the immediate area but also act as an eastern anchor of the main downtown.

Could not agree more, this is just the beginning for that area.

Looks like the second building might be at full height, had a dentist app this morning which is right behind the building on York and it looks like most of the forms are gone.

Awesome to hear that the second tower might be topped out now! Anyone know how the retail portion along Dundas is progressing? Are they even still building retail on the property they own along Dundas street?

Unfortunately I currently live out of town (as you can see by my changed location) so I can no longer provide updates (although I could post updates of the Barrelyards instead! ).

IIRC, there's a pawn shop in one of those store fronts, that's it. If I don't get called into work tomorrow, I'll drive down there to make sure.

Okay, but isn't the pawn shop one of the new stores that's a part of the seniors development down the road?
