I assume that one or maybe 2 buildings will be built at a time given the one crane?

Site work is continuing, photos by me:

Does anybody know what kind of progress has been made on this? It's been quite a while since the last update.

There is some construction going on in the far corner closer to the bayers lake side near the street on what looks like it would be for one of these buildings

and also what looks like the foundation for a townhouse closer to the main av side

EDIT: I think the building under construction is just a stand alone building and not part of this development but there is a significant area of land cleared for these buildings and crane pieces have been on site for awhile now.

I was up there a few days ago and there is a lot of land being cleared over a fairly big area. Also, up near the 102 overpass over Washmill, there is a foundation - I don't know if this is commercial or a new residential building.

Still lots of site work, a large amount of land has now been cleared. Photos by me:

The townhouses that are going up next door to this must coming along. They introduced the new street for them; Vitalia Court

This project is now named Grand Haven Heights and has been marketed as such for several months now.

Are there cranes up for this now?

Not yet, the crane has been sitting on site for over a year now. It has been partially repainted, there looks like there is formwork materials back further in the site. They are starting site services now.

Interesting. I figured the crane would be up by now based on the photos in this thread!

kph06 · #73 Posted **May 4, 2013, 10:22 AM**

Looks like form work has begun on the first floor. No activity with the crane yet.

Grand Haven Heights just to the west of this will add more density to that area - http://www.cosmosproperties.ca/#!contact-us

Just reposting these here since they pertain to these buildings and not Mount Royale in general!

Crane is up, it's quite tall, I saw it coming in the 103, I will try to grab a photo tomorrow.

kph06 · #76 Posted **Jul 22, 2013, 12:46 AM**

The operator will have a great view, one from tonight:

Do we know if this is a City Owned road or will be a private road? I have a huge issue with Private Roads in the city. My mom has a condo on Bedros Lane and it falls well below any HRM standards and so all the condo owners on the road will have to pay to have it upgraded, which is so ridiculous.

In the end, all that happens is that the developer builds a substandard (to a public road) road; build all these units - then the condos/townhouse owners have to fund snow clearing etc. When they realize it's very expensive, they go to HRM and beg for them to take the road over and they refuse because it's substandard and won't do it until they upgrade it - leading to more $ expense to the owners.

That is a private road, the townhouses are rental townhouses.
