Photo taken 6 February. They are starting to work on the second floor. This is the building on Mill Street.

Photos taken February 8th, 2023: (yes, it's in the background, but it's the only one I had with the hoarding in the pic)

The rest:

This one seems slower to climb compared to its neighbours... Hopefully now that it's above grade the rest will follow pretty smoothly.

Finally seeing the east side start to level up. It really does seem to be moving slower than its neighbours.

Now that it’s solidly above grade, you can see the width of the cut-through to the courtyard. Pretty generous (I know Staff were oddly worried about this condition).

Personally, I am not a huge fan of the courtyard. I feel it is more of a private amenity than a public one, and I have doubts that community members will use it, especially since the lane to the south does not continue through to Mill Street.

However, I am glad that the entry was made more generous and I hope it entices people off the street.

As far as I know, the lane will be extended so that it will run between Cherry and Trinity. That said, I agree with you that 'courtyards' are not good 'public' space - no matter what they are called!

I’m not sure the courtyard was necessarily primarily intended to be public space. This building is something of a counterpoint to the staid, chunky-ass Toronto mid-rise, so the alternate universe isn’t so much a “better” public space so much as just the middle of a really shit floorplate, so I guess I sort of feel like we’re playing with house money with this courtyard space.

It was definitely being sold as a gift by the developer / architect at the public meeting, which I attended.
