soba condos grand openingHow can you tell when there’s a long weekend coming up? One of our favourite tell-tale signs is looking at all the development industry event happening the weekend right before.

We got our hands on some fresh renderings of IT Lofts earlier this week and were very pleased to share them with the world. Now we’re here to remind you of the Worsley Urban Partners project’s opening event on Saturday (May 12).
