Shouldn't be affected as this parcel is north of the park.

none, it's to the north of the park...that lot I believe is unlimited height & FAR TallBob's dream site.

Edit: beat by Spring

There is no shadowing law there, as it is north.

Edit:beat by everyone.

From what I'm hearing the demolition of the Mawyer building is dramatically behind schedule causing delays to the shoring work.

^That's not good - come on demo guys.

RyLucky · #67 Posted **Aug 23, 2014, 10:55 AM**

Even that "Gateway" site (3 blocks south of park) can accommodate something in the ~250-300~m range without causing much shadow there. In fact, basically the entire stretch from 4th st to 8th st on the south sive of 9th ave can go as tall as site limitations allow. Something sleek and spirey would be nice there... maybe residential or hotel on the upper floors even... with retail frontage on 4th Street.

Let's put a new tallest there, and then build something 300m+ on the Imperial site!

^^ Or 3-4 New Tallest!! ^^

Stalled off waiting for the demo crews to complete demo.

Spring2008 · #70 Posted **Aug 29, 2014, 12:51 AM**

Only two storeys left at the existing tower with some portions now demolished to grade.

Design-mind · #71 Posted **Sep 14, 2014, 3:37 AM**

Most of the Mawer building debris is gone.

Spring2008 · #72 Posted **Sep 14, 2014, 3:33 PM**

Lots of progress since last time I walked by!

3 drills here now, most of the site looks to be down to P1 already.

Have they drilled the east side where the Maywer building was? When I left Thursday they hadn't, they were still pulling parts of the basement walls out.

I'll have a look when I'm back in the office tomorrow and will post

A new shipment of steel beams to place

Surrealplaces · #76 Posted **Oct 14, 2014, 4:27 AM**

Good progress there!

Design-mind · #77 Posted **Oct 26, 2014, 3:28 AM**

A few from Manulife today.

Design-mind · #78 Posted **Nov 19, 2014, 4:04 AM**

Mine from yesterday.

Full Mountain · #79 Posted **Nov 20, 2014, 2:22 AM**

The last of the drills was disassembled today, we should see excavation speed up now I would think.

Also semi-related to this project they have started prep work for the +15 to watermark tower during the lobby renovations there.
