If they mean to keep the commercial space I can't really see anywhere else the driveway could be located. |

Being a one-way street, that leads to even steeper grades up through the flower streets, I would think residents would be better served by having an exit on the flatter Ochterloney, where there are better routes available in slippery conditions. If I were to give my 2ยข, I don't think this is really a good project for this site, but hey, what do I know? |
There was a drill truck on site this morning
|
Back hoe on site this morning, maybe just an occasional parking area. :shrug:

The owner of Lotus Point holds a mortgage on properties owned by Mr Wilkins. |
There were numerous pieces of Construction fences onsite this am. Looks like this may start.
|
Just checked. A construction permit for 50 residential units was issued on January 10th.

Backhoe is digging in the snow, so I guess that's progress. :shrug:

Two diggers working away this am, I wonder about the apt building at the back of the property, I expect that space is part of the development, it sits on top of rock.

Boris holds a mortgage on the property and now that Mr Wilkins( famous for his collapsing building on Lucknow and his subsequent conviction and fine of $60,000 for lying on a building permit application) has finally come up with the back taxes,interest and costs the tax sale has been removed from the March 14 2016 sale of properties in default of taxes. |
Getting to be a big hole in the ground.

Here is a current rendering. It looks better than 6 years ago when it was first proposed. The lighter shade of grey is much more appealing. Hopefully they will use high grade materials for the cladding.

Ahh the classic render, where Victoria Road is replaced by a jungle inhabited by the rare silverback SUV.
I couldn't figure out why the render is so dark, but now I see that it was the background image from the Lotus Point website. The rendering seems to show stone panelling on the upper stories. If that's the case, and these are indeed high-quality materials, this could turn out quite nice. If it ends up being Hardie board or those zinc panels, this will probably be pretty bland. |
It's hard to tell. That central section almost looks like polished granite. It reminds me of One Government Place and the upper floors look like the same ceramic tile that has gone up on The Pearl and Monoghan Square.
What I like most though is how broken up the massing is on this one. So many large balconies and terraces. Not the usual small unusable balconies. |

Does anyone know what the latest is here? This must be fully excavated by now?
