Yes no point adding retail in Vic West.

There were tenants that had wanted to use the space for production. It sounds like a custom design job. I guess they walked away, maybe due to how COVID changed the way we work.

When will Aryze move forward on its Catherine Street project? That was approved in 2021, I think.
Wasn’t this proposal at Catherine and Langford Street? Isn’t there a modular multi-story supportive housing building there now?

No, that's across the street from the Aryze property.

...oh yeah, hence the initial name of the project as Factory Block.
