They have finished the brick repairs on the front wall and the roof is (mostly?) removed. Note the new lights and windows too.

Hadn't been around this part of the neighbourhood for awhile, and was shocked to see this jutting out from the brick building this past weekend. Curious on how it will look once they are finished, but I generally don't like vertical additions on existing brick buildings.
 
It is certainly a strange shape. I pass by almost every day, and have had a few peeks inside (not much to see except dust and destruction so far) and also into the courtyard, which looks like it has a lot of potential, but is just mud and excavation (and a bit of a scraggly tree) right now. If done right, this could be a really nice addition to the strip, which is largely lacking in life.
 
Thanks! I can tell you that the addition is now covered with a first layer of cladding.
