I just saw that, it covers the whole south wall of the building. Its kinda funny because traffic is already slow on Albert St with all the construction, with this its making drivers go even slower looking up. lol

pictures please :banana:

wow thats going to be quite a change

Great news for the city, the bolded part is also exciting, stadium anyone? :tup:

I love how they still have the Sushi bank signs up. You'd think with all the advertising they are doing they would paint that sign or turn it around.

they were actually scrapping the sushi bank signs off this afternoon.

Nooooo!!!!

Thanks for the picture Migs. Looks good

CP has a 1/2 page ad in the Globe and Mail today.

Two quick questions.

The ad said "Then, three underground parking levels — 130 stalls — were proposed. Now, the plan is for four levels — 268 spaces." so how did 1 extra parking level increase the number of spots to more than double from 130 to 268???

The banner says "Showrooms opening soon" so how can it be soon when the building isn't even built yet and the old building isn't even demolished yet??

I can kind of see a possible answer to question 2 but #1 is baffling me unless it's a typo.

Here's the full page advertisement from Saturday's L-P (May 29, 2010 C12). It looks like G&M's (May 28, 2010 A6) ad was similar.

Anyone know which weekend in June they're previewing? Are they preparing a show suite at their office location? Sorry, I'm not much of a facebook user so I can't say what's on their facebook page!
Good point S.M. I wonder if their original plan for parking levels used only a fraction of the building's floorplate and now they're expanding out to maximum property boundaries, or across property lines or under the streets. Didn't the basement level of the Bay used to seem to go on forever in a particular corner? I remember that level seemed to extend beyond the floor limits of the upper levels out to somewhere, making me feel like it was huge. (Or am I totally memory-deficient on that experience?! :D -- Edit: Oops! Sorry! I think that was the Bay's old location! ...)

Showrooms/sales centers are usually constructed near or on site as a place to see a full size mockup of a typical unit highlighting the materials and layouts. This is to give the prospective buyer an idea what the finished product would look like.

Yes the old Bay basement level extended all the way to Victoria Ave, under the old bay parkade. It was the furniture and electronics dept. When the parkade was demolished, the roof of the basement was severely damaged and big insurance claim resulted. In the end the extended basement was filled in, so Century Plaza that replaced the Bay no longer has that huge basement extension.

:previous:

Ahh! Thanks, Stormer! I had always wondered about where that basement extension actually led out to, but the thought subsided after the Bay moved to the Cornwall Centre! I never considered that parkade would have a level below it and I never considered the orientation of the basement level layout relative to the parkade. :)

I was wondering the same thing...
The (now, out of date) information I have shows 3 levels of parking, 205 parking spots and 130 hotel rooms. I'm guessing that there was a typo in the information that spictacular mcluvin is referencing.

There was an average of 68 parking spots per level in the older proposal; if they used the same layout for the new 4th below-ground floor it would make sense for the number of spots to jump from 205 to near 268.

I am surprised at the entry level price quoted on the banner of $199,000. That seems quite low unless they are going to have some studio or bachelor condos that are very small in sq footage. I would have thought minium, the low price would be pushing $350,000-$400,000.

It really looks like Regina is in for a major transformation in the next couple of year with all the tower projects announced. Good for you guys (I still hope that the new stadium will be open air though.....I know that is not a very popular opinion, but I love going to games that include a battle with the elements!)

There will be studio/bachelor condos ($199,000) according to the plans submitted to the city. My guess is that the 1 bedroom condos will start at $275,000.

Has anyone booked an appointment yet? They left a message on my voicemail today about booking an appointment. I can't wait to see the sales centre, but I've got couple of years of school to contend with before I go buying a condo. I don't want to be wasting their time with VIP early viewings when they could be talking to someone who actually has some cash! What I'm wondering is whether or not the sales centre will be open to the public after this weekend. I mean, I know that it will, but will it be by appointment only?

I remember someone here wanting to buy a unit to rent out...just so you know, I'm compulsively neat!
