Where is the main entrance to the future Sutton Place hotel? The spaces next to the parkade entrance/exit don't look big enough for a hotel lobby.

Walked through on the weekend. The answer is no, they have not fixed it.

Fitting the Rogers name is there. Just like the carrier there is currently hardly any service in those buildings.

Some new public art:

Any bets on what it is supposed to represent?

It's a whale breaching.

Granted I could not see that in the renderings. Only was able to see it once it was installed.

Did they ever fix the pavers in that rectangle (not a square)?

What an inviting dark pit full of advertising. I don't recall Rogers Square (TM) looking like this in the renderings. LOL

ScovaNotian · #**5892** Posted **Apr 3, 2019, 1:26 PM**

Here is a rendering. Can you spot the differences?

Quite different. Bright, outdoors tones, lots of light, and a polar bear.

Is that space the entrance to Gahan House? I do not know because I don't go near downtown any more since it is so unfriendly if you do not walk or bike there. It is very unwelcoming. I do know they left the waterfront location.

If they don't replace those ankle-bender pavers they should have a sprain and fall clinic in there somewhere.

OldDartmouthMark · #**5894** Posted **Apr 3, 2019, 6:30 PM**

How could this space look so dark and depressing when the rendering made it look so bright and inviting?

Oh... yeah... renderings...

I was wondering about all the Gahan House stuff, since Gahan House is on the waterfront... do they have another location in Grafton... errr... Rogers Place (or whatever it's called)?

Perhaps there will be a clinic in the Rogers cave... would be a great way to drum up business - broken, uneven paver stones combined with a dark, dingy environment... then "ta daaa!" here's a clinic right next door to help you out after you roll over your ankle! Brilliant!

Gahan House waterfront location is closed. They are moving into the Nova Centre & looks like for a period of time will have a food truck on Grafton.

Well that explains it. Thanks!

Any word on what is going into their vacated waterfront space?

Pickford & Black (facebook link) I think it opens sometime this month.

And Gahan is reopening in the NC sometime in May (in time for Memorial Cup, according to Halifax Retales).

Thank you for that! Seems like a win-win, a promising new place on the waterfront and a known good brewer/restaurant moving to NC!

They are finally redoing the cobblestone in Rogers Square.
