Some crews were on-site yesterday clearing some trees and shrubs, but otherwise I haven't seen much else in activity lately. According to the DevApps, the final plans were all approved back in February, so I would expect some site mobilization to start in the coming weeks/months.

As a resident of Orleans, I am quite looking forward to watching this project go up. While retirement homes aren't necessarily the most exciting of developments, I think the Centrum/Place D'Orleans area has so much potential to be slowly transformed into a mini-downtown hub for the Orleans neighbourhood, and this project will be the first step to bringing residents into this area. Once the LRT service is up and running, I expect this area to be very attractive for future developments. My dream is to eventually see the mall torn down and completely redeveloped into a nice walkable mixed-use community.
