There are a number of towers in downtown that were capped at grade and never got started back up again. The south block of The Bow was supposed to be rebuilt from the bricks of the old York Hotel. That was capped at grade and is just a parking garage. First Canadian Centre is another one, the north-west corner of 2 Street and 7 Avenue.

Are there any instances of previously capped-at-grade projects being restarted and completed? Or is it basically a death sentence to the project once the at-grade cap is complete?

This might be the most ridiculous thing I've seen said about The Bow.
