Edohei, downtown on Ellice, is closing and the building is being torn down to build a pharmacy and medical offices. Blah.

I thought that might get pushed back a bit, as last week the casino was erecting permanent light standards to replace the temporary ones they had where the hotel is to be built.

This is what the Osborne Village should be filled with.

Then start filling West Broadway with something with similar massing. Line Sherbrook and Maryland with these (but with retail on the main floor).

It all comes down to the cost of construction per sq ft.

The units are all between 1000-1660 sq ft in size.

Based on that, the price point they are working with is just over $300/sq ft.

Seems pretty reasonable for concrete (pre-cast) condo construction close to downtown with enclosed parking. All units also have decent sized balconies and terraces.

Now that would make sense!

Nice looking project ...nice looking real estate agent.

Another future 90210 award winner?

Those are very large units. That strategy is a bit of a gamble. The market has trended towards smaller units in the past few years. It will be interesting to see if these sell.

One block over from the Pulse condo.

Would love 50 more of these.

love the jagged nature of the aveune building for its entrance to portage ave. speaking of 90210.

and yes, 40-50 more of these projects for the osborne area.. perfect location is on stradbrook and scott street across the alley from the church mansion where the houses are falling over on the north side.

Now to just turn all the houses into mid/high-rises with ground retail and we're set!

City Place

Is it just me, or does City Place DESPARETLY NEED an total overhaul??!?!!? Everything from the brass finishings to the salmon pink in the paint and tiles. This is a major connection to the MTS Centre and right in the hub of the S.H.E.D. Hopefully there is some plans in the works already.

There are, you should be able to read about them if you search the forums.

Compared to Portage Place, CityPlace is alot more attractive. Plus anyways, aren't a bunch of bars moving in? Particularly on the Second floor?

However, both should keep the fountains, since fucking Polo Park got rid of both the fountains AND the polo sculpture

The polo sculpture is still there.

It is near The Gap.

Fountains rock IMO, love listening to them and they have a calming effect. Yes, Cityplace and Portage Place both need major cosmetic changes, after all, Brian Mulroney is no longer Prime Minister.

A friend who is becoming a neighbour by buying a suite in Sky2 says that the realtor claims that construction will start in March and is expected to take a year.

I assume they'd build the hotel at the same time?

Portage Place first though. 25 years of stores leaving, stabbings and creepers following me in the mall/skywalk might have a change with some paint and glass
