Wow excellent shots!!!

Sooo... since this thing is so far along, could someone maybe make a proper diagram for this one in the building page? I did one about a year ago, and it's on the diagram, but it's just terrible. Now that it's UC we should have a nice diagram of this one up. Hopefully someone can/will do one

does anyone know what is going to happen with the neighbouring govt building to the north side of the hotel? its adjoining exterior wall is still tarped off. i find it odd they didnt seal that up before the structure started being erected.

A local restaurateur has landed what is surely one of the most sought-after locations in town.

The opening of both the hotel and restaurant is still about 11/2 years away, but Mottola's plans are nearing completion. The name is still up for debate but the street food-oriented concept isn't.

"We're going to take the best of the street food from the hot zones, like the taco carts in Mexico and sandwiches from Cuba, all the things you can get walking down the street (in tropical countries)," he said.

I put this in Winnipeg Construction but thought I should add it here too. Glasshouse part of the development is building a display unit on the main floor of City Place next to the lotto booth.

Don't think so, I noticed when they took it down as well, however it is back up as of yesterday. I will see if it is still up today after school.

The tower crane will only be used for the construction of the Hotel Tower. The base building will be completed with the crawler crane.

Ahh great to know..the base still needs the crawler..moving on/off site and the tower crane is somewhere down the road in timeline...thx Biff

1ajs · #**235** Posted **Apr 11, 2013, 11:05 PM**

the crane was down for some sorta repair when i passed by it the other morning there was some guys welding on it

chrisallard5454 · #**236** Posted **Apr 12, 2013, 12:14 AM**

It is currently back up with the Jets flag hanging over Portage Avenue. I wonder if they are legally allowed to extend it past the edge of the site?

I think the website says they have 200 suites. So 25% in the first day. Hopefully they'll reach the 50% (or whatever) they need to proceed in short order.

I counted 62 red dots when I walked by the display suite before they opened today.
