They also did some announcements related to this recently for the 175th Cunard anniversary.

I could see this being delayed since the Maple construction has fallen behind schedule.

It's a Waterfront Development Corporation project so it will take years for anything to happen. Bureaucracy at its finest at work.

If it's Southwest, I have full confidence it gets done. Great track record for actually developing, and doing so on time.

Seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy in many ways. A lot of the complaining I hear these days is about how much everyone else complains and how pessimisstic everyone is, while in reality people seem to have an increasingly positive outlook. This city is nowhere near as cynical and self-hating as I remember it being even 5-10 years ago, but for some reason this is how we continue to advertize ourselves.

I am confident this will get done but at the moment Southwest has four major projects they are trying to get off the ground. I could see this falling in line once the Pavillion is rolling on the structure, which probably would coincide with substantial completion of the Maple.

Totally agree, too!

I was talking with a guy today who lived in the city in the late 1990s and this was his first time back since then. He was shocked by how the city had improved; he felt it was much cleaner, nicer, newer, much better maintained, and was surprised by all the development.

Totally. Southwest is great. They'll get it done.

Armour Group is still planning to move forward with this Queen's Landing/Marque project.

Great news! But I think I'll wait and see how many decades the planning process takes before deciding how excited to get.

All the signage and building proposal info from the street on the fence has been removed. Thats usually not a good indication that things are going to proceed

Isn't Queen's Landing a different project than the Cunard Block?

Cunard block is further up, while Queen's Landing is down closer to the ferry terminal?

Yup. Queen's Landing is also two separate projects on one site I think (one public and one private). They seem to be both progressing slowly and independently of one another.

My worry is the reason that Andy Fillmore abandoned the Waterfront Dev Corp was because he learned, on joining them, that Cunard and other big projects on the waterfront would not be moving forward any time soon...

Again, I have a lot of confidence in Southwest, so I think this one will get done.

Queen's landing on the other hand...
