That East Village tower on the Riff (Verve?) got delayed at CPC today. It will be considered at a later time.

Is it really 31 floors? I only count 29...

According to the DP, it is. Maybe they changed something after the rendering was made.

Unreal to see work start on another tower for the Beltline, especially another 300+ footer. That will make 16 towers UC in the Beltline alone, assuming it starts before Guardian North is done, and 46 towers for the neighbourhood in the last 10 years.

This project is almost one year delay!!

I didn't know there was an earlier start date for this one. When was the original proposed start?

Are they renovating the 3 story brick building on 1st as part of this project or will that be coming down?

It is shown as updated in the renders but I don't know if that is just for show or not.

To be honest I haven't actually seen the DP, but got the info from the file manager.

Went past there earlier today, and nothing has changed from the last pic on Feb 15th.

That's often the case. Mark, and Vogue were both had drilling equipment on site for a while before work started.

Some news!

That's great news. I was wondering if this one would stall due to today's economic climate.

Apparently our rental market is still on fire. We will definitely see a slow down in condo projects, but it looks like the rental projects (Union Square II, East Village Tower, West Village, etc.) are all full steam ahead!

Not to mention that before the downturn, a bunch of condo projects had already reached the critical point in sales at which construction is feasible (Waterfront Parkside, Verve, Smith, etc.), so we might actually not notice much of a slow down before the economy swings back into overdrive.

Rental market is very good, and should stay good for a while. The job market has only just recently slowed down from the looks of it. Up until February it's been growing at a decent pace.

So glad to see another (nearly) 100 meter tower underway in this city. I'll be doing a Beltline update on Friday so it'll be nice to have another to add to the roster
