It’s taken three years of work and 17,000 cubic metres of concrete, but Frank Santostefano is seeing an idea become reality on LeBreton Flats.

“I’ve been here since day one, when it was just a parking lot, so it’s fun to see all the hard work and the planning, the design, coming to fruition,” he said.

“You can really start to appreciate the unique shape of the building.”

The timeline for Ādisōke has been pushed back once before, but Sutcliffe said the project is still set to finish in 2026.

In 2021, the budget almost doubled from $175 million to $334 million. Sutcliffe said he’s heard nothing to indicate it will grow further.
