It's always funny to see Whatnext fuming about the Chinese as if they're the only thing standing between him and owning a house in the west side

A local journalist very astutely summarized that there are two types of "affordability advocates": people who think the problem is that they were on the cusp of buying a house on the west side until the evil foreigners stole it out from under them, and people who think the problem is that we legally reserve the overwhelming bulk of the west side for people rich enough to afford a detached home.

And I'm sure if whatnext owns a Westside house, he would sell it to the highest foreign bidder without any qualms when he retires and decides to downsize to a penthouse somewhere awesome, like many of his predecessors. His own kid can then blame other groups of Chinese or coloured investors for not able to live in the neighbourhood they grow up in.

$3.17 psf.

That's actually quite low on a PSF basis compared to most downtown properties, even larger spaces.

Penthouse Entertainment space, note the large, curved glazing panels:




Owners combined top two floors (2 strata lots + roof deck) into one duplex and the two floors below (3 strata lots) into another another duplex. The lower duplex apartment has the entertainment space on the upper floor (upper setback of the tower) which were originally 2 separate strata lots on that floor. Every other unit below didn't end up selling and are rented/trying to get rented
