Site is up, and it looks very, very nice. Thanks to Ali, Jeremy and the team at Gladstone Media for all of their assistance. Now perhaps Gladstone would like to relocate? I know of a fantastic development that is looking for a AAA client like you guys.... You know where to find me. In all seriousness though, check out their wonderful work in depth on the site:

Moving Right Along
I was by the site yesterday to check on a detail for the buyers of one of the middle units, and I am continually impressed with how rapidly the build is progressing. It most definitely is a "hardhats required at all times" site, as there is action everywhere one looks. I was talking with the Site Super, and we almost got dinged by some falling small pieces of cement. Small pieces, but it made us jump nonetheless!
So, updates.
The brick on the front of the first floor is about half complete, and as it goes up it's clear that it is a definite improvement over the old D&M building. It's hard to imagine a build simply from artist concept and architect plans, so when the real thing starts to take shape, it's very cool to witness the visuals come to life first hand. Of course, I'm not actually out there daily, so it's great to see things every few days and see the progress. It must be a pretty great view for the folks across the street at Ubisoft.
Upcoming in the next week or so is the installation of the drain lines and the pour of the concrete for the main floor. That's actually what brought me to the site yesterday, as a buyer wants a kitchenette of their employees on the main floor. We provide a rough-in on the second floor, but not on the main, so it was a bit of back and forth to see how it would be done. At the end of the day, it looks like they are going to wait and maybe play with their design a bit. I may expand on that scenario in a future post as it was a pretty great insight for me into what actually goes into pricing for a custom upgrade on a project like this.
That's it from me for now. I'll post a few pics of the progress hopefully later this weekend.

Late Night Pics
Just one for tonight. I'm having a bit of an issue trying to get them to be in the right places. This image gives a pretty good feel of the units from the exterior. Gladstone did some amazing renders of possible interiors, so watch out for those in the coming days!
New Website Almost Up!
'Morning JTL crew,
This morning's post is to let you know that after weeks of work by Jeremy, Ali and the team at Gladstone Media, the beta version of our new website for the lofts is almost ready to be revealed to the online world. They have modeled it on the Richmond Town Manors site and it's looking like a great online home for the project. The artist renderings of the exteriors and interiors give a very true impression of what the completed building will look like and there is a fair amount of information as well on what the features of the units are.
So keep on the lookout for the website, coming to an internet portal near you in the next day or so. As a small taste of what's to come, check back here later on today to see some pictures of the build and a few artist's renderings of what the completed build will look like.
