Maybe I’ve lost track of time, but it seems like this just flew up!
This building did fly up! It looks really good on the ground and in the St Clair canyon. I’m excited to see the effect this building has on the intersection of St Clair and Grand. I think it’ll make the area feel more approachable and pedestrian friendly.
The RIU hotel 2 blocks north will also have a positive impact on this area.
