Mackenzie has already moved most of its office space to 180 Simcoe. The building is owned by Great West Life. JG

Construction has started. Hoarding is being put up. Equipment on site. JG

I heard that PwC has been negotiating for a couple of months. The problem with Royal Trust Tower is that the common area expenses are VERY high. Also, the ventialation system takes up a lot useable floor space. For instance, the vents are about 1-2 feet away from the window, and on the...

Not sure when the official groundbreaking is but they have permits to put up the hoarding and close off one lane of Bay & Scollard effective May 2008. They have drilled test holes on the site in preparation of the shoring. The parking lot across the street is finishing up renos including all...

They have set up a construction trailer and marked the property line of the site. We should see some other equipment on site very soon. JG

They have a new rooftop that they can broadcast from. Maybe they will bring back Harold to do the weather again. If not, it's a great place for a band to do a concert. Should be fun. JG

Construction start Got confirmation that they are starting construction. They will be closing one lane on the east side of Bay Street, and one lane on the south side of Scollard in April. Sidewalks will be closed on those sides as well. Yorkville will have appropriate sidewalk covering...

Scollard will be shut down on Tuesday to allow the sales center to be moved across the street to its new resting place. JG

They started to move the sales centre today. Moved it to the other side of the parking lot. Likely will move across the street to final spot over weekend as Scollard will need to be closed. JG

Sales centre is fenced off. Dumpster on site along with a couple yellow beams. Could be moving the sales centre or just starting demo for construction. JG

crane is coming down this weekend.

Are those exposed ducts outside real? If they are that's a disaster waiting to happen. Not energy efficient at all. In the summer they will absorb all the exterior heat - counteracting the air conditioning going through. The opposite in the winter. Both situations will lead to condensation...

Fencing is up on the site, as well as a trailer. Looks like they will do work on the historical building on site first. JG

Before and After How far we have come... Needless to say, what an improvement! JG

I love the place. Looks much better in person too. They were cleaning the windows yesterday and hand washing the exterior. When the sun hits the building in the right direction it's quite impressive. JG

Say what you want but all of the stuff Remington has put up in Markham has sold extremely well. There appears to be no shortage of buyers. Only restriction is how fast they can put the buildings up. They own a tremendous amount of land up there and truly have the ability to build a city on...

Hopefully they will get it working soon. It's a long walk even with the other automated walkway beside it. It will be cool to see it operational. Sounds like a fun ride! JG

Sales centre was packed when I got home. Limos, catering company, police directing traffic. Everyone was leaving in suits - very nicely dressed. All were holding large bags of what I assume was promotional material. From the outside the sales centre looks awesome. The landscaping that they...
