Since we last looked at the project December 2017, the last crane has been removed from the building and the majority of the exterior has been painted. A year ago, Canvas was just reaching the 21st floor.

Canvas will have a 6,000 square foot indoor/outdoor rooftop restaurant along with ground level retail and restaurants.
