Cox has put up a new promo video for this development that has some very cool 3D moving renderings, from both inside and outside the building (and its units).

Not soon enough for the people in the federal building I bet.

What a change it'll be for the CRA folks in that office to be taking it from two sides for once, rather than the giving it from two sides...err, ends...that they're normally involved with.

I wonder how much use that inner courtyard will get when it will pretty much be perpetually in the shadow of the Legato. Still it looks nice in the renderings/video.

My first thought was, "bad idea." We'll see.

They are bucking the trend of smaller and going with bigger one bedrooms options (600 sq/ft+).

Not too soon and there will not be as much as at the Legatto site.

The end of the property closer to Vancouver st the bedrock drops to a depth of 60ft.

Its a hilly property with lots of clay.

Blasting can not begin until the lower levels of Legatto have had at least 40days for the concrete to cure.

The excavation on this site will be 55ft below sidewalk level. That is a full 15 ft deeper than the hole at 819 Yates.

The lowest level of this building will be a full story deeper than Legatto.

They are going to leave a temporary berm of material along the Legatto property. Once the shoring along that wall is complete the earthen berm will be removed and pulled into the McCall Site and then excavated down to the 55' level

I notice blasting mats are present on this site, but considering the current stage of construction at Legato, has any blasting taken place at 989 yet?

At the speed Legato is going it will be a few floors out of the ground in no time. I was by today and it looks like the wall bwtween the two projects is already out of the ground ...
