I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman 20:27, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First thing I want to ask before I do a full review, is there a timetable on the building's demolition? Article stability-wise there shouldn't be any issues, but it's something I want to be sure of. Wizardman 23:03, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Wizardman: The demolition began in October 2016 and the residential tower project as a whole is expected to begin this month, with no estimated completion date. It should not compromise the article's stability too much, with the exception of a tense change (to past) once the building is demolished on the inside.

Sounds good, just wanted to check. Anyway, here's what I found:

"To prepare for the moving of printing presses and office," the 'and office' part doesn't sound quite right to me. I'd probably just cut it to "To prepare for moving the printing presses," for clarity.
"addition would use up the last of surface parking lots " last of the surface
I generally don't like one-sentence paragraphs, but I do know that the last one will be expanded later on, so combining only to split again in a couple months would be silly, so it's fine as is.

I'll put the article on hold and will pass when the couple issues are fixed. Wizardman 15:42, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Wizardman: I have fixed the two issues you've raised. Sounder Bruce 02:32, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, so I'll pass the article as a GA. Wizardman 14:47, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
