Great pics - didn't realize the angled façade of The One had a kink in it.

Anyone know what retail will be going under the ONE?
Also, what's that round cylinder like object on top of the low rise?

I have a client who purchased a suite on the 10th floor of The One, completion was supposed to be May 2015, now they're estimating a July completion but having years of experience with pre-sales I'd guess September.

Oh no not another pub

Going to be a lot of drunks walking the areas at night

Hopefully they will put a nesters market or something in by the One. Would be nice to have a few good take out joints as well!

I've only been to nesters once, a long time ago, but isn't it comparable to urban fare? Urban fare also has hot meal take out selection too....priced by the weight.

Area from a Mount Pleasant penthouse patio on 7th Street.

That's right. It's a penthouse of a 10-floor building built in 2011 that there are taken from.

There is actually lots of construction going on along those small streets east of Main. I had never toured area before seeing this suite. Lots of gentrification going on.

officedweller · #**5393** Posted **Mar 30, 2015, 8:42 PM**

So right behind the site for Focal on Main (or whatever its new name is).

This area is achieving what one might call a "European Density." Here in Paris, though there are of course exceptions, most of the city traditionally
adheres to a standard height of seven floors.
Although of course OV is on a much smaller scale, and style, it is at a great density for local transit.
This naturally brings to mind the Olympic Tramway line,as has been discussed before. Yet it all synthesizes.
Not making some sort of use of that line is like looking at infrastructure and saying "naww, not good enough, trash it."
A loss, really. Correct me if I'm wrong.

probably only during rush hour and weekends. maybe shuttle bus service would be more flexible for that?

they're moving St. Paul's Hospital to False Creek http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2015/04/st-pa...illion-false-creek-flats-hospital-built/

Definitely a place to buy a condo since in a few years with the university and the hospital the prices will be going up and rents will be high. Great potential investment/rental income!

And just think 5 years ago nobody wanted to buy there, not it's a hot bed of activity and the — new area to live in Vancouver...move over Yaletown!

WarrenC12 · #**5399** Posted **Apr 15, 2015, 3:21 PM**

Yes it will help clean up the area more than any other single project, that's for sure. Main St. Skytrain will be super busy, I hope the recent upgrades will be enough.

I also hope this plan doesn't get derailed.

Which University are you referring to? UBC? ie the extension of the Millennium Line to UBC will connect the area with rapid transit. Or is there a new school being planned in the area??

An interesting case example with my grandma's neighbour. He lived in East Vancouver all his life. His wife's health has been declining and requires full time care near VGH. Recently cashed out on a very old home for over $1m

and bought a 2 br condo across the street from VGH so he can easily visit his wife everyday. Now he's living off his pension and profits in a new (well, technically old) home where he no longer needs the space. I can envision similar scenarios happening in the OV with seniors or their children buying/renting units to be near the new hospital.
