Split level retail with a large basement component. Screams Dollarama.

Let’s cause chaos in another thread with this guess...

Anyone hear of a mezzanine being built?

Perhaps a Nintendo store?

Here is the upcoming Nintendo San Francisco store set to open in just over two weeks:

This would fit not just a Nintendo store but it would also provide plenty of space for a Kirby Café next to the Nintendo store:

May 1 - Construction progress photos over the past couple of days:

Cladding of the two projecting rooms over the entrance from the Wellington Street parkette. West side room:

East side room:

Working on the King Street heritage facade:

There are a number of cladding sections installed in barely visible areas between the new structure and the heritage buildings - one of the more visible (which is to say barely visible) sections - which is one of the reasons the visible amount of overall cladding progress has at times seemed to be so slow:

On site inventory of cladding sections ready for installation. At the south west corner of the building, four skids worth of sections ready to go:

Ground level at the entrance to the Wellington Street parkette - at least five sections staged ready for installation:

Apple would never take this space. It wants a space with no interior columns, or at least one where the interior columns are slanted rather than sticking straight up.

Marshalls?

Must be disappointing for the occupants of the projecting rooms not to have vision glass,
since the projections would create unique view angles.

A Sir Elton memorabilia store...

Marshall's would be a rather disappointing low rent retailer for a building this glorious.

Wow...that just sends shivers up my spine. And in a good way.

Wishful thinking….but I’m not aware of any announced plans for a Uniqlo Store downtown…yet they’re hiring for this…

Sorry if this has been asked before, but a big part of what makes the project work will be all of the greenery on the balconies (trees, vines etc etc). I wonder if all of the landscape features will actually be implemented, and if they are, will they be maintained by the individual condo owners, especially renters?

Here's a project done by the same developer in Vancouver that seemed to follow through with the external vines: https://westbankcorp.com/body-of-work/deloitte-summit
I'm assuming the corporation is responsible for maintaining them
