I haven’t been to the one in Burnaby but the other local WFs are always busy so I don’t see what the problem would be. Other cities may be more risky perhaps but I don’t see how that relates to our market.

North Van has some of the most attractive looking podiums in all of the metro. I like how they tend to be of a variety of materials and not just the default grey/white spandrel used almost everywhere else.

Not to mention it's an appealing podium with SIZE goes nicely with the behemoth across the st.

Thanks for the pic update, don't make it to the area often.

Ron.

Good-looking building. What were the units going for?

buzzbuzzhome.com says sales are from $1,299,900 to over $4,086,000. I'm gonna guess that's for the ones left but it wouldn't surprise me if that's where we are for average prices now either. My POS 40 year old condo is somehow worth half a million bucks.

Yes the ones that are built look really nice. However they are still too few and far between. Need a lot more of these buildings in downtown Lansdowne area.

More recent than you think. Only saw a couple of towers with large retail/commercial podiums along Lonsdale, Centerville included.

April Fools confirmed:

The City of North Vancouver has a new resident.

The Lady is a two metre-tall statue of a camel and stands on the corner of 13th Street and Lonsdale where it gazes out towards the Burrard Inlet. The beast might be made out bronze, but it's inspired by a real camel that traversed the B.C. Cariboo more than 100 years ago.

"During the gold rush, [prospectors] imported camels to work as pack animals," said Myfanwy MacLeod, the artist behind the bronze statue.

MacLeod came across an iconic photo of a B.C. prospector riding a camel in the late 1800s. The camel in the photo, known as The Lady, was one of dozens of camels imported to the province through the Lower Mainland and served as the inspiration behind her sculpture.

The artist did the birds in Olympic Village which at least are visually interesting compared to something that has nothing to do with North Vancouver.

Look out Main Street Poodle you have competition for the ugliest public art in Vancouver.

How dare she create something quirky and fun. Public art should be as mundane as possible.

A steal at $205,000. On the bright side, it's in front of a ***** Onni building.

I'm ok with the camel. Art is supposed to be weird.

North tower is now occupied: https://twitter.com/onnigroup/status/922908127091191809
