Saw that but I don't think they are going to start excavation until next year seeing as it is now early November and this is a reasonably deep dig.

I remember at the community consult there was discussion about conflicts with the two Azure projects since they would be entering via Winona during excavation.

Workers were on site today installing a permanent fence to replace the temporary fencing around the lot. Every time I walk by I’m struck by how big the site is. This project is not tall but it’s going to have a huge footprint.

There is also integrated water/sewer project on Winona starting in March 2025 which will complicate things. I don't know if they will be allowed to stage on Churchill or not. I certainly don't like the prospect of allowing them to use Winona after the integrated project is done. Developers don't have a good habit of returning to fix city infrastructure they damage.

Still nothing (bottom corner is related to Winona sewer work)

From what I've heard, there is no planned start date for this site, still on hold.

Wow. Such a shame. Really wish they would have preserved the two buildings on the corner and only garage and laneway.

CLV+InterRent are real non-starters, jeez

I believe it was mentioned before that due to the replacement of municipal services on Winona that this project is on hold. Part of Winona was to be designated a construction vehicle traffic route for the site. When I get a chance to review the youtube pre-construction meeting for the ward, then this can be confirmed. So the delay may not be CLV/ Inter Rents fault.

I just looked at InterRent's Q1 investor report, which came out May 15, and the target completion date has been changed to TBD. Used to say 2027. So that's concerning too.

I had been waiting for that and assumed as much.

Honestly I wish the city/province would start levying higher taxes on vacant lots are unused within distance of transit. I'm not a full LVT guy since I think it goes a bit too far into telling people what to do with their land but this is among the most desirable intersections in the inner suburbs from a livability standpoint.
