No, not in the main building. The South block - almost all retail has been delayed.

Agreed! They should charge the public $10 a head to get access on weekends or something.

I'm still choked we didn't get to go on a tour when I was at SAIT.

A little arrogant though.
Nope, I'm interviewed in my capacity as a "skyscraper enthusiast". I'm a very regular poster over at SSP.

Not at this time. Maybe not for quite some time either, if ever.

When I used to work in there I'd regularly forget my access card in a hung over summer student haze and have no problems tail gating my way into work in the morning.

The south block has a stipulation that they must start construction within one year of occupancy of the main tower. Part of the deal that allowed them to take down the York. They recently submitted a new DP with some minor design changes apparently.

Right. Oops. Yeah, second EAP tower will be a number of years. My guess is like the second Bankers Hall it'll follow in about 10 years.
