Johnny Zee's wasn't a bad place. Staff was generally not too friendly but they kept most of the games running and in good shape.
Excited for Firehouse subs and daves hot chicken.
Scaffolding is coming down from the Shelbourne facing building, and final touches are being made to the McKenzie facing building. I can already see trees being planted on the podium roof.
Did not get photos for this part yet, but scaffolding is up for the center building, construction of the wood structure is ongoing for the Cedar Hill side, and foundation work is ongoing for the Home Depot-adjacent building.
I drove by yesterday and somehow the scale/impact of this project is smaller than I expected. In my mind it was going to be a much bigger thing.
Or maybe not. But what Saanich has coming across the street, despite everyone else permitted to build lowrises, is going to change that area significantly. 18 floors may be just the beginning. Meanwhile, you have additional proposals coming easy of Shelbourne and now UVic wants in on the real-estate market.
