Continuing to come to life - photos of condition when we bought @zibiCanada, then start of construction and current condition. It's going to be killer. It'll look even better plugged into our zero-carbon district energy system.
@GoodGuyGuaranty@CarolWalshReal1 I've recently gotten hooked and have started travelling with a few discs. Much easier to throw some discs in your bag than almost any other kind of recreational equipment.
Getting a little attention for our sewer energy exchange system at LeBreton Flats. Major kudos to my long-time biz partner, Scott Demark, for leading this important work. Zero carbon energy & affordable housing is a dynamite combo! https://t.co/FQLUaB6qjj
@Tesho13@campnorthend Major congrats! The building looks fantastic. I know the blood, sweat & tears that it takes to get to this stage. Nicely done. Here's hoping for a speedy lease-up.
@chrisderose How many times can I like this? Remarkably, somehow, people still also think that developers control city hall. In an ideal world, a prerequisite to become a head city planner would be that you had to have completed a development project.
@SullivanRay I agree with most of your recommendations, but think the report is sloppy and aimed at creating division. It lumps together $ spent on grants for housing, $ spent on financing programs (that actually generate net revenue) and 'foregone' tax as all the same thing - they are not.
Five increases in development charges this year in Ottawa. We've been averaging an 11% compounded rate of increase since 2011. Unsustainable & a significant contributor to the housing crisis.
@AustinTunnell The number of times I've run into well-intentioned policy that in practice works exactly against the intended outcome is too many to count. This one was a great example - it drives you to create less accessible units as opposed to more accessible. Sigh.
An exciting project we had approved this Fall - affordable housing at a major transit station, geothermal heating, partnership with a non-profit and a charity. Moving on to site plan approval, and keen to get this to construction. https://t.co/vKQCdvTmjz
