small update. the homer street cafe has finally closed its doors for good. Also, I heard from the sales people that excavation will start this month.

Too bad - that was a great place for breakfast.

osirisboy · #30 Posted **Oct 20, 2008, 11:44 PM**

small update: This project is 70% sold but rate of sales have reduced lately. They have begun preparing the Homer building and excavation of the site is set to begin mid-November. source was someone from the sales centre.

hollywoodnorth · #33 Posted **Feb 6, 2009, 9:40 AM**

any updates? backhoe still hoeing away?

osirisboy · #34 Posted **Feb 6, 2009, 5:46 PM**

no thats long gone. it was only there for a few days and they took out a couple of big trucks of dirt but that was it.

Now they say April start date but I doubt it.

hollywoodnorth · #35 Posted **Feb 12, 2009, 3:05 PM**

damn I hope this one does not die on the operating table.....

osirisboy · #36 Posted **Feb 12, 2009, 4:11 PM**

well the other day a truck came and delivered whole bunch of jersey barriers probably will be used to barricade the parking lot, If they felt that the project was going to be canceled they wouldnt have delivered them. So i'll take that as good news for now.

The Beasley project in downtown Vancouver offers discount to buyers

Amacon, the Vancouver developer building The Beasley project downtown, is the latest builder offering discounts to buyers.

Amacon senior vice-president Bob Cabral said the company is cutting prices by a minimum of 22 per cent, from $100,000 to over $250,000 per unit, because of reduced construction costs.

"We are in a very different market than a year ago; when we negotiated our construction costs and realized the savings we made, we were happy to pass on that savings," Cabral said.

Cabral added that Amacon views this sale as a unique case that won't necessarily influence the overall market.

Cameron McNeil, president of MAC Marketing Solutions, which is handling the sales of Amacom's remaining units in the Beasley, said there are too few apartments left and such limited supply of units in development he doesn't believe the reductions will set any new benchmarks for downtown pricing.

Don't you wonder, though, if they are offering those discounts to those people who have already signed a fixed-price contract with them? They say they are "pleased to pass the discount on" since everything is costing them less, but I'll bet you a dollar they are not telling that story to those who signed contracts.

SpongeG · #39 Posted **Mar 17, 2009, 9:24 PM**

plus they must have made some interest off the down payments already

Surprise, surprise... yes Amacon is also offering the same discount to existing pre-purchasers, lowering their respective fixed-prices.
