Looks like it is pretty close to the Holiday Inn. Will it disrupt some of their windows/balconies? I doubt that the city would allow such tight spacing, but if so, perhaps we will see that torn down and redeveloped.

In a previous incarnation, it was an addition to the hotel.
The north wall of the hotel tower was just a blank wall - the views from the hotel rooms are to the east and to the west.

Looks like a few of the listings are showing up on the MLS...most of these are the undesireable units facing the laneway. Most likely they are selling these first and holding off the good units till later once these one's sell..if they can get what they are asking that is and then there's that dreadded HST.

Thanks for the pic. It looks really impressive, especially when heading up Heather street towards Broadway.

Pretty sure this mystery oval is a two-level penthouse unit with a spiral staircase.

agreed it's coming off great and looking very big .... hopefully this is a sign of the future for this part of town aka the Central B-Way Strip

95% of the building is sold out. Sales woman says that buyers were told there are no assignments allowed so once the building is finished there may be quite a few units for sale on mls. Wondering who bought the million dollar plus units on the upper floors...hmmm.

A second oval void is on a balcony facing north about half way up the building.

They have painted on a dark coloured sealant on the westernmost facade, upon which the green wall system will be mounted. The oval on this elevation is now clearly on the exterior of the building, as opposed to being an internal stairwell.

There's only a few towhomes around $850,000 and the cheapest unit is a 2 bedroom for $875,000 but other than that the building is practically sold out from what the sales agent says (not sure if she's holding a few back). The agent says no assignments are allowed so will have to wait to see what pops up on the MLS in this building next year.

hummingbird · #79 Posted **Sep 15, 2011, 7:36 AM**

This building got some serious views. Anyone know if there are any resales happening? I called and they said all the one bedrooms are now gone. The building looks clean and smart for the area.
