I wonder if we should start a new thread for actual news

HomeInMyShoes · #**1702** Posted **Sep 4, 2014, 3:19 PM**

It has been suggested before that the thread be closed until there actually is news. Much like other threads such as The Chicago Spire thread.

I was doing well trying to avoid posting sarcasm in this thread for a while, but I have failed the last few days.

I'm predicting equipment on site in the next 30 days? Anyone care to take the over?

What kind of equipment? Contractors? Or Saskpower again to do some work?

Well like I mentioned earlier, Capital Pointe has contacted my workplace, and negotiations are currently going on to build a transformer in our parking lot for the building. So there is work going on in the background.

If this complex proceeds it will be a miracle

Tenders for construction are not out yet.

Did you put a down payment on your unit yet, thefourthtower? You must be buying one since you seem to be so concerned about this project

Rodo Regina Lover · #**1711** Posted **Sep 17, 2014, 12:08 AM**

Do we have to be putting a deposit on a condo in this much delayed project to make a comment on it? Lots of us are very interested in this project, but are not purchasing. What's your point?

Are you for real just relaying information I think we're all concerned about this development as we ALL want it to proceed including your self

Let's hope so, but i won't celebrate just yet. Remember these renders, released a long time ago?

A friend of mine in the steel business in Regina says they got another inquiry for beams from the foundation contractor for Capital Pointe. It is for 500,000lbs. of big beams, delivery is Jan. 15th from their mill. I think their last inquiry a few months back was for 900,000lbs. I can't figure out what's going with CP, they say they are going to make some sort of announcement in the next few weeks, but how many of these have we heard in the last 5 years and still no action at Albert & Victoria!!

When it comes to the construction of structural steel-type projects, it is common for large projects to have steel fabricated via different contractors for various aspects of large structural-related construction projects. The Co-op refinery is an extreme example of that. (That may be why.)

That would lead me to believe a potentially smaller tower, or they are hedging their bets and would add more if demand picked up when they started construction. Even if they are going with separate contractors for material it's odd that it changed. Somewhat a risky move and that second option makes me think either poor cashflow which would be a huge warning sign for me if they start building. There's been a few cities with derelict construction sites. I'd rather have nothing here than what Chicago had for a few years or North Korea had for decades. Turned out okay, but not exactly a great marketing tool.

These would be the heavy I-beams used for shoring the massive u/g parking garage.

Any chance the materials for the hotel and condo might be different? That's my guess.

Very much so. The materials would likely be fabricated to a different spec.

They might be, but we haven't really seen anything design-wise other than what's out there and it hasn't significantly changed me to think losing half the materials is logical.
