^ I bet it seemed like it rained less back in the olden days. There were so many overhead lines, a lot of the rain must have hit them and burned off.

Proponents of a redevelopment of the old Sawyer Sewing building at 840 Fort Street in downtown Victoria are expecting approval at tonight’s public hearing for their plans to convert the two-storey building into a six-storey mixed-use residential and commercial lowrise.
Three Point Properties’ The Sawyer is designed by local architecture firm Hillel Architecture. Plans call for an addition of four floors to the building (increasing its height to 21 meters) and filling in the currently empty parking space behind the existing two-storey brick structure. Streetfront retail would anchor the project. [...]

Any suggestion of start date?
I think immediately, or close to. But there are a couple of legal issues that have to be signed off before it has final approval. So it needs at least one more council meeting, but public hearing is closed.

The change to a smaller footprint meant a redesign of fewer, but larger suites, meaning there will be a few more one-bedrooms. Which is good because Three Point's other project at 1007 Johnson is all tiny studio suites. Diversity is good.
I think Councillor Lucas voted against this. Or am I thinking of the Fort/Ormond heritage house/office?

^Yes, I heard July as well.

Hmmmmmm. I don't think so. He spoke up after Denis Oliver, and I recall him talking one other time, and at the time I thought he didn't really need to for what he had to say.
