East Village was a relatively simple enterprise and not a single building is yet complete (10 years on from when it's current Area Redvelopment Plan was approved). There's a lot of steps.

Sorry, I thought you were just talking about the remediation job ahead of them. They must have a pretty good idea if the cleanup required, I'm sure the city must have a study somewhere.
The land size they had to clean in Cochrane was huge...probably bigger than they will need for whatever they have planned....and it was creosote. Big job but once they got moving on it they went relatively quick.
