Slowwwwly making progress

Not the best photos but there's a crane on site now (the small one, not the giant one at a different construction site in the background), and I spotted some workers on the top floor.

Didn't get any photos but as of a few days ago the whole Rideau facade was covered in scaffolding, so I assume they've properly begun reconstruction.

Pardon the rain drops obscuring the view. I was surprised to see a building going up in this area until I remembered that this project existed.

Love the big bear mural

Ohhhhh it's so sleek and sexy
