It is especially great looking in the evening, with the lighting of the top two floors on the north, west, and south sides. It is a very "classy" and unique building to downtown Ottawa.

It will look even classier with the two towers finished, scaffolding down, and everything is landscaped...by summer 2010...hopefully...

I'm hoping you are right because I just got my letter extending my occupancy date to March 2010. Hopefully, those of us in HP 2 will not experience the numerous delays that HP1 has had.

If all units in Mondrian and HP1 & HP2 were sold out, there wouldn't be any restrictions. This way developers have another year to sell remaining units without competing with other owners selling their units.

I think Woofer is right. The first occupancy date was estimated 2-3 years ago and some delays were inevitable. Now, after the experience with HP1 they may have a better idea when they can finish and move everybody in. With so many people without work, there won't be any shortage of contractors and other workers. I am pretty confidant that there won't be any delays even though I wouldn't mind (hate moving in January

)

Last weekend I was looking at the new models and asked them what the estimated time delay is from the first occupancy to the last one and the answer I got was 5 months. Given that HP2 has two additional floors and 13 less units overall, I wonder if the 5 month plan is still going to hold true. I think that those of us that are on the higher floors, will only be able to judge once they get the 2nd floor occupied. The answer I got for the first occupancies was October 09.

BTW, there is going to be another model opened this weekend on the 14th floor. They currently have a Chrysler and a Waldorf and tomorrow they will have a Van Allen. I will be there to check it out!!

Part of the 5-month occupancy lag was due to the Deslaurier fire, and the people in the upper floors of HP1 were affected. I believe it was about a 1-2 month delay.

By the way, the rooftop terrace of HP1 is supposed to be ready in about a month. And the hallway for the top floor should be completed with carpets and all in about two weeks. I also heard how HP1 looks really nice at night with the lights. If anyone could take a shot of it, that'll be great.

I wouldnt count on it. There are almost always delays. It is not like HP1 was Charlesfort's first condo building (see 90 George for what a first time condo developer can do to a timeline).

This might be a dumb question, but are those strips of green supposed to be there when everything is finished?

I am wondering about that too. And are the chevrons at the pinnacle going to remain white, or that's just film to protect them, and will be peeled off?
