16 months since they broke ground...and we now have a hole. At this rate, it should be complete for the next condo boom in 2023.

It might help to read through a thread to find out why the hole is still just a hole and avoid looking like an uninformed, navel-gazing dufus when making a comment like the one above.

"uninformed, navel-gazing dufus" - Hahaha...good one.

I had fully read this thread...but the fact is, this project is now 16+months after breaking the ground, and they are still a ways from beginning the actual building process. Almost no other developer takes this long to excavate a hole. Clearly someone started the work a little bit too early on this project.

So are those existing units going to be looking onto a building maybe 6ft away?

1 September 2012: My god this hole is deep! I know it's a controversial development but exceptions should be made for exceptional architecture. This one is likely Freed's best, and perhaps, the city's best-looking condo project...ever!
