My home phone is a rotary dial...

Office Dweller, are the windows still missing?

officedweller · #**2144** Posted **Nov 28, 2008, 9:44 PM**

Can't tell - too cloudy. I'll check later.

27 units on MLS now ranging from $458,000 to $1.8 million.

The good news for the developer is that apparently all of the purchasers have completed, whereas some other projects that pre-sold in 2007/08 might not be so fortunate...

Windows were still out today (a week later).

The website says that Market (the Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant) will have a "musical chair bar". Does anybody know what that means? I've never heard the term before.

A pretty nice photo

??? - maybe if you go to the washroom, your chair will be gone when you get back??

Phil McAvity · #**2151** Posted **Dec 4, 2008, 9:27 AM**

Those windows have been down so long i'm starting to think that the builder is Microsoft.

phesto · #**2152** Posted **Dec 4, 2008, 4:29 PM**

Apparently some of the window panes became slightly cracked either during or after installation, so they had to be removed and replaced. The damage was not caused by the wind but something to do with contact with concrete.

That view sure makes One Wall look like a squat little stumpster, doesn't it?

MapleLeaf · #**2154** Posted **Dec 5, 2008, 7:27 PM**

The building is amazing and very important for Vancouver but these inside shots of the appartments...mmm...I mean...the view through the other skyscrapers might be great but I just don´t like the way they´re structured. I´d wanted to get a bit more style for several $-millions.

And yeah, as you mention, you can expect the estate units will be even nicer.

Here are a few more photos that at least do the units some justice as opposed to the crappy screenshots from above.

Hopefully these units have heated flooring because with those many windows surrounding a room heating usually is very low.

Hong Kongese · #**2156** Posted **Dec 9, 2008, 4:15 AM**

^^ For the price the owners pay for these units, they better be heated floors.

i think it means it will be a sit down bar with chairs that has live music

as opposed to a bar without chairs aka a night club bar

Yume-sama · #**2158** Posted **Dec 9, 2008, 4:30 AM**

So... we shouldn't all head to Shangri-la expecting the fun of a musical chairs game?

SpongeG · #**2159** Posted **Dec 9, 2008, 4:40 AM**

what do they mean by the floors? that the bottom 5 floors are double height floors?

Where the restaurant is the first level is the first and second floor, you'd understand if you are there, there is no 4th floor hence the 3 level is called the 5th floor. I discussed this before, no 4th and 13th floors, 4 is bad luck to the Chinese and 13 is bad luck here.
