If you're gonna come up with a comeback at least use a different floor. Price being equal to the square footage is strange too. Seriously who pays you?

From the Gilmore station thread earlier today:

It says summer in that rental poster. The question right now is how confident are they in getting people moving in the summer (july) versus the autumn (october)?

Summer goes till sept 22

Thanks for the pic.
Looks like some nice interior spaces in there.

SpongeG · #**3506** Posted **May 14, 2019, 6:35 AM**

The new trees that they have added look really nice, sort of bonsaiesque. Also the sign on the fence says Openings start in 2019. Nothing more specific. Doesn't seem like they will have a big opening.

Has anyone ever had a high rise building that finished in the winter? I also wonder if they would make people move in the cold/rain/snow.

People do, in fact, move in the winter.

If you don't want to move in the winter, you don't have to. I imagine that you'll be stuck paying for the place upon completion, but there's no onus upon you to move in immediately.

Well, i get that ppl do move and a person would have an option to either do it or not but what i want to gain a sense for is how often developers are considerate of their buyers and get their projects done in seasons with good weather. It could inform their buying decision in the future. Ex. 9/10 times their buildings finished in winter vs another company who 9/10 times got their customers moving in the spring.

jlousa · #**3510** Posted **May 14, 2019, 5:02 PM**

Developers don't care about that. They want to complete as quickly as possible. What benefit would there be for a developer who happens to finish the project in say Late October to put off closing until spring time and get stuck with carrying costs for an additional several months. The building will have loading docks most likely in the parkade I really don't see the issue with moving over winter. Not like it couldn't rain on any given day in warmer months.

They only allow people to move in on nice hot sunny days lol come on they don't care if you have to move in on a snow day.

Maybe SHAPE has grown allergic to money?

În pictures three and four from the top, the streetscaping is very nice. There is mid-level lighting, somthing I'd love to see throughout downtown Vancouver, throughout the CBD.

I also like those seating areas alone Willingdon.... very thoughtful. Don't think I see such thoughtfulness in other major developments.

osirisboy · #**3516** Posted **May 17, 2019, 4:05 AM**

Overhang over the elevators looks like an after thought. Could be finished a bit better. At least cover up the junction boxes and wires

I think the city requested it. They have the same for solo and the new four seasons near holdom. Also by the Audi at boundary and lougheed

It's city policy, part of their 2015 Public Realm Standards for Town Centre Streets. Every 6-lane town centre street is supposed to get it.

I don't think it was standard for the Audie dealership; maybe they negotiated that with the dealer. I'm guessing it means they aim to build a bike corridor along Lougheed.

There's a terrible implementation in front of Porte along Dawson, where the chairs are right up against and facing street traffic. No-one's going to sit there, but they were installed anwyway. Someone's brain was switched off when that got done.

(Dawson, btw, was made an exception; the bike route is to go along Skyline instead of being integrated with the sidewalk.)

The worst is Pacific Centre mall. They are removing the spacious sitting/waiting area at the glass dome to squeeze foot traffic into a narrow hallway for that proposed, presumably Apple store. That's a really bad move.

This has nothing to do with Amazing Brentwood or even the same municipality.
