Wow three floors? That is a big operation. Must be govt. I wonder who is moving?

This building was one of the first to be built by an out of town project manager. All of the trades were "subbed" out. There was no general contractor per se, as a general contractor usually has a labourer or two keeping things tidy. This project was not.

I am glad to see the Jawls are in control now. These chaps are a class act when it comes to the quality of construction.

A source tells us that the mystery tenant at 1112 Fort could be Elections BC. The current office is 333 Quebec Street right beside the Harbour Towers hotel.

Wow is that an improvement!

The windows look similar to the Executive House Hotel and the five storey office building up at Quadra and Mckenzie which both have had new windows installed in recent years.

I should pop over and take some pictures inside if I can...

The renovations look complete and this building is occupied.

The upper floors still have some tenant improvement work going on before anyone moves in, but the building its self is pretty much done.
