That makes sense. I also see an "end of trip facility". Any idea what that might be?

Usually not defined by rezoning, but most likely we do showers / washroom area to change. Usually more for the businesses at a site.

A bit odd that it's all the way down on P4, which means that the retail workers would have deeper access into the building, but I guess it's next to the biggest bike room.

**************
For the loading facilities, it would be nice if a double-sided elevator could be installed to allow move-ins from the loading bay. The condo I rented in Toronto during university had that arrangement which prevents the security problems of move-ins through the front door.
The orange line could allow for a short dock. You'd have to add stairs down to grade to the side.

This project singled out as overpriced in the media at the time. And indeed, it looks like a lot of assignors trying to bail.

There are currently 51 unit assignments listed for sale on MLS - that's almost a quarter of the building!

I can't recall a building having so many pre-sales buyers wanting out before completion.

The prices that people were paying to buy a small condo unit, in Joyce-Collingwood, Vancouver

I think you're thinking about 5058 Joyce. This thread is for 5055 Joyce, which is now a 100% rental building.

Perhaps tellingly, that thread was closed.

Don't people know everything by Westbank is a work of art, worthy of its own laudatory thread?

"7 mins to downtown!"

[officedweller]

The new Cressey condo on the Kingsway Rona site (east of Knight) is "steps to Main St."!

That’s not a bad little area though. There’s some restaurants and cafe’s that give it some walkabilty, and the potential is there for more, given the amount of old stock commercial units.

Wasn't there a mapping app that had a jet-pack option or something like that when it was providing you with different modal options? Or was it a catapult.

I thought Citymapper had that but I don't see it there.

With the pandemic happening, the near insolvent City will approve anything without too much of a fuss now. Glad this one got through though.

Your reasoning is as weird as ever.

Indeed. In both directions, Kingsway is really improving - toward Knight with Pallet Coffee, Do Chay, and some others. Toward Fraser with that great little cluster of restaurants at the intersection. Fraser, Kingsway, and Hastings (in Hastings Sunrise) are beginning to take off, with Fraser and Hastings more advanced in the process.

I was just criticizing the marketing, not the area.

After 3 years of review, 3 revisions, & switching from strata to rental tenure, people could finally live in these 360 rental homes at the Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain station in Spring 2024. Construction could start this Fall if Vancouver’s director of planning approves.

Concerns about the $372k artwork planned here could cause a very small delay as Vancouver’s Public Art Committee wanted to see more shadow studies, its visibility from SkyTrain, & how it could be impacted by the need to access the water main below it in the public plaza.

So. Many. Balconies.

It seems that all towers net to the station will be pretty much the same height.

That's because they're all limited by the community plan to the height of the Telus Boot at Kingsway and Boundary Road.

That's such an odd limit to place a height restriction. "No tower must overshadow the beauty of the Boot!" If the Telus Boot was already too tall for their liking, no reason why the community plan can't simply call for shorter buildings.
