This is how the site currently looks.

 

The heritage house on the left is in nice shape and it looks like people live there. I would hate to be living there during construction!

 

Too bad the folks who bought this property didn't also buy the commercial building on the right, that sits at the corner of John and Rock Bay. It is quite the dump.

I would consider this an "infill" development. When I first think of "infill" I think of residential - not so much office. Pretty cool project! Excited to see it when finished.
