You've never seen architecture until you've seen it in the original Klingon.

Can we agree the development biz is all about "here today, Gorn tomorrow"?

It certainly isn't going to have the eye-catching panache of the historic sloping asphalt parking lot, that's for sure.

Can't compare apples to oranges, but we can certainly compare an inferior apple to a superior one, that's for sure.

For the most part I like the cladding materials, but the balcony railings on the street facade seem a little underwhelming.

I agree about the balconies np. Maybe they're designed to be safe for kids and pets. But overall I think The Pearl is one of the most novel buildings the city has seen for several years. I like the cladding they used, and the building really works from the water side. There isn't the uniformity like across the Harbour at Dockside. Just imagine when the walkway is opened up from the Janion to past the Craft Beer Market, which is all done. The extra life down there will make it awesome. (Not to mention the Northern Junk project, if it ever gets going)

The balcony railings appeared quite different in at least one of the renderings.

Would 1st or 2nd quarter of 2024 sound about right for completion on this one?


It might still sneak in with a late 2023 completion.

I’m very much looking forward to one day walking the completed David Foster walkway. Building looks great!

Just a few photos of the walkway along the water. The handrail is from the old Johnson street bridge, sandblasted and repainted. Attached a reference photo. The light poles look like the ones around town with a fancy light fixture on top. There was a lot of the balcony handrails complete minus the glass inserts. Landscaping along the water side patios looked fairly complete with boulders and logs. On the south there was two large Pergolas over the walkways. Looks like it is coming along.

Nobody master-planned this stretch of downtown waterfront (thank goodness), and yet therefore look at how well the different pieces are coming together.

 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Northern Junk very easily coulda/shoulda been nearing completion by now.

After barely 13 years? You're living in a dream world my friend.
