I was recently told that the parking lot north of the labbatt brewery was sold to a private investor group and that it is earmarked for development, it was also suggested to me that the developers have already approached city hall and have a tenative green light on what it is they intend to build. I have heard nothing about this other then from this individual I was speaking with and they only said "There's a large institution that is going to be there"
Anyone hear anything about this before? Because CLEARLY this is something I want to know more about.

Perhaps a beer institute? A Soylent Green processing facility? A salvation army expansion from up the street for a 26-story mega-hostel for the indigent?
yeah after reading this it doesn't exactly sound like something overly exciting, I am going to try and get more information out of my coworker though. It's a family member of his that is the main investor.
Considering the emphasis on this area from the city however, gives me a grain of hope.

One London Place is pretty much at full occupancy these days. I recall Sifton saying they will build the second tower if they find a anchor tenant.
In fact all the foundation work for it was done when the first tower was built.
I took that picture! Glad it was of some interest to people. I don't know if I would expect Two London Place to be built anytime soon, the market just doesn't make sense to build it right now.

You'd be surprised. Sifton says OLP is full and they will build a second tower if they can find an anchor tenant. There is just that demand for AAA office space in the city as well as companies that don't want to deal with Fhari.
However we do not know if the tower will be a shorter version proposed back in the 90's, an exact twin of OLP or something entirely different.

Who knows, maybe Fanshawe owning the Market Tower could spur a new office building downtown. How tall it would be is another question.
Also, if that Chinese company comes as promised and they need a substantial amount of office space then maybe they could be the primary anchor that Sifton is looking for.
The 185 + the 199 together would make a nice big parcel for a deep pit garage + office tower (say 30 stories) + new City Hall. (say 20 stories) + residential tower (say 35 stories). If there are folks having 'big thinking'...

Might as well toss 201 into it as well, since that building is a piece of shit.
