Things are moving steadily towards the completion of our beautiful condo building. Here you see the installation of the in-floor heating piping in the main floor kitchen, dining and living room area.

Here’s a look at the second floor condos with our tour guide and Senior Project Manager, Paul Whelan of Westridge Construction.

Westridge Construction‘s Senior Project Manager, Paul Whelan, takes us on another tour of the third floor…something we’ll get to do, in person, very soon!

Ultimate Insulation in Regina is installing the spray applied insulation in the building. Attention to detail is critical when doing this type of work and Ultimate Insulation is doing a fantastic job.

And in the foreground, Mother Nature added a lovely finish […]
