Yeah. I got the same reply. So lame....

On the bright side, if the completion date gets delayed to early 2020. The building can be advertised as being completed in the year 2020, rather than 2019 when it comes time to list.

Oct 17 today, Sporting Life was supposed to open today. Thoughts & Prayers.

There's only one person waiting in line for the opening, I guess I'll leave now.

Well, it doesn't make too much sense if it's the only new store open and fences are still up elsewhere.

I wonder when they will take out the "2019" too.....

Literally false advertising. They should stop toying with our feelings.

Or they'll probably just add,...."-ish" to it.

That ought to cover it for a couple of months give or take.

Alternatively they might just take the 'Like a Boss' route and amend it to say:...

'Opening...
......
...
...When we're dang good and ready to open and not a doggone second earlier'

(Alternates rejected (read: need more workshopping):-

Opening...

'.....when we say we're open.'

'......when you actually see the door open.'

' .....by the light of the first full moon of the name day of Gilgamesh, the seventh of his name.'

'.....a can of whoop 🞵🞵🞵 if you don't stop bothering us with questions asking us when we're opening.')

Gate to Walkway has been removed
(Still fenced in)

Kevindemi · #**4075** Posted **Oct 18, 2019, 11:05 PM**

Are there any comparable projects we can measure this against? Ive never been in a deal that was 2 years behind the initial target but i wonder which others in this city have been thru the same or longer. I looked back and saw i first signed 5+ years ago in june 2014. Wow.

Tangeray · #**4076** Posted **Oct 18, 2019, 11:20 PM**

Sporting Life is totally ready to open. I believe they're just waiting for the plaza to get the green light to public access before they do so.

Probably not. Can't think of a project of this scale and magnitude ever really...I mean to a smaller extent Marine Gateway is the closest thing I can think of but there really isn't much of a comparable

I messaged Sporting Life and got back a response.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to delay the opening. We’re hoping to confirm a date so stay tuned!

So nothing firm

officedweller · #**4078** Posted **Oct 18, 2019, 11:24 PM**

I don't think there are any mixed use projects in the Lower Mainland that were as big as this.

Maybe International Village if you add a couple more towers, make them twice the height, deepen the parking and double the mall footprint.

Kevindemi · #**4079** Posted **Oct 19, 2019, 1:05 AM**

Ok. So can be mad but not too mad. Good to know.

jlousa · #**4080** Posted **Oct 19, 2019, 2:32 AM**

I would think station squares redevelopment is in the small ballpark scale wise but much more phased.
