In that case, at this economy and the 2013 uncertainty, I suggest waiting until the building is topped off...if Metro Tower 3 and even the initial Bentall V phase 1 are of any precedence. I know I won't be really really excited until then....

I wonder when some better/more detailed renders will be released?

The renderings on the website are about as good as it gets for a project of this nature...

Count me as a person who cannot get enough renders, but this project has already published a large amount of high-quality, detailed, glossy renders of the building's exterior and interior, some of which can be seen on this thread while many others can be seen on their website.

I highly doubt any more will be forthcoming.

Anyone have any pics on the progress?

I was going to go get some pics last weekend but I got drunk with friends instead lol :$

vanman · #**366** Posted **Nov 20, 2011, 4:12 PM**

I actually walked by the site yesterday and decided not to take any pics as there wasnt really anything to see other than fences.

LotusLand · #**367** Posted **Nov 20, 2011, 5:14 PM**

Right now they're doing interior work I believe. I don't expect much work to get done in December with the holidays and what not.

Sir Conga · #**368** Posted **Nov 20, 2011, 11:40 PM**

The work has been almost entirely indoors as of late... I noticed a few bricks coming off of the front this last week, so they might be getting set to erect the facade bracing. Looks like a few staging areas are about set-up as well.

Chadillaccc · #**369** Posted **Nov 21, 2011, 2:22 AM**

Awesome guys! Glad to hear work is progressing

Sir Conga · #**370** Posted **Dec 3, 2011, 10:47 PM**

Mini-mini-update:

They are still working a lot underground at the moment. I believe the Parkade entrance between 1021 and 1055 (Guinness Tower) will be taken away, so the western entrance is being fitted for self-pay. The big wood front door is off the facade, and it looks quite barren inside the University Club building. I have heard (from a cement worker) the demo will be done before Christmas. I'd really like to watch the demo, so I hope we can get a heads-up on the date.

Metro-One · #**371** Posted **Dec 3, 2011, 11:56 PM**

any positive update on this project is a good update

Thanks for the info!

LeftCoaster · #**372** Posted **Dec 6, 2011, 9:32 PM**

Heard Oxford has an offer for a big chunk of space in the building... looks like their risk might pay off sooner than expected.

Chadillaccc · #**373** Posted **Dec 6, 2011, 10:46 PM**

Good to know there's big tenants already

The morale of the lesson here is....if you build it, they will come! So Credit Suisse must take heed and do the same for their office tower, which may even help recover some of their financial losses from the European debt crisis...

Apparently Credit Suisse is currently working to launch a pre-lease campaign early in the new year...I think they are still at least a year out before they could start building. Hopefully before a provincial election in 2013 though!

That's interesting given the small floorplates. Most tenants don't like to be broken up over a number of floors.

I wouldn't say that is correct if senior management and executive offices are present.

No kidding. Put me in the "dubious" line for the time being.

I know, I was quite surprised when i heard it, source is rock solid though.

Word is the deal is for 8 floors, so quite substantial.

Important to keep in mind it is just an offer, nothing has been signed at this point.

To clarify, an offer came in from a prospect, or did Oxford send out an offer to a prospect?
