I'm guessing 1.2 Million, once construction starts near the Olympic village Station then 998,000 drop!

Anyone buying that now who think those parking lots will just sit there forever and not be built on would be idiots. Whatever someone pays now will most likely be aware and Will take in to account that the view will be lost

I totally agree, and to further mention they will not only lose their view, but they will also lose their money (lost view = lost $$)

Well, not likely.

South Creek Landing will probably appreciate a lot before those parking lots get redeveloped. So even if this property sells less than an equivalent spot a few blocks over, it will still (probably) sell for more than what it's worth today.

I would be OK with buying in that building and enjoying the location and the view for the next few years, then selling at a future date for MORE money than today. I don't have to get greedy and worry about what I *could have* got if the other property hadn't gone and ruined my view.

The hotel at Fraser & SE Marine Drive is slated fro redevelopment:

Quote:

Early concepts for the site include:
◾Commercial, community uses and residential
◾Towers ranging from 15 to 26 storeys
◾A neighbourhood food store
◾Public benefits including: childcare, community facilities, affordable housing
◾Negotiated community amenity contribution (as opposed to fixed rate)

Seems a bit tall for that area (not near SkyTrain)

Rendering of project from the north:

A++ No public hearing is scheduled. LOL.

Pretty funny. I still find it depressing that that entire waterfront is zoned to forbid multifamily housing (with the exception of some duplexes) though.

Klazu · #**4753** Posted **Mar 31, 2015, 9:16 PM**

Chip Wilson has so much experience with NIMBYs for his house, Point Grey bikeway and boat dock that him trolling them for once is hilariously clever.

The rezoning was approved back on July 13, 2011.

Is there a thread for the Oakridge Mall redevelopment some where?
I just love to hear discussions on this project.

Ah google and your sophisticated algorithms. My post in this section bumped the Oakridge thread to the second result. Joke ruined.
