So, have people already gotten over the gigantic mural? Do we know if anyone living nearby has complained about it, as it seemed to cause outrage among the nearby residents...

I will take this any day over the vast majority of so called "art" that has been proliferated by developers and the city in the past few years.

I'd love to see out my window this over ugly spandrel or grey/beige concrete any day.

We live across the street from the Charleson and while we don't face the mural and don't have to look at it 24/7, it is a fun landmark as we walk along the seawall or sit in the park. Wish there was another color at the top instead of pink but it has grown on me.

I just hope there is more review of murals that are so prominent in the skyline since they don't fade away like bad spandrel or architecture.

I still absolutely love this thing!

SpongeG · #**427** Posted **Sep 10, 2018, 7:30 PM**

I like it too. But I keep thinking of the Simpsons.

looks like a cry for attention

Really ugly mess and colours. Cheapens this building 10-fold.

I'm assuming this little dust-up is at The Charleson. Imagine paying big bucks to actually buy a place here, only to see this. The joys of condo living!

One of the organizers of a massive party last summer in a rented Anmore house that featured limousines, high-end sports cars and multiple helicopter landings is allegedly giving another landlord headaches.

Rees Cameron, whose birthday prompted last June’s shindig, is being sued by Onni Property Management for $60,000 in unpaid rent on a 4,000-sq. ft. penthouse property on Pacific Street in Vancouver. In a notice of civil claim filed last week, lawyers for the plaintiff are also seeking relief for damage to the unit and strata corporation fines incurred while Cameron lived in the suite.

“As a result of the tenants’ breaches, the landlord has suffered damages, loss, and expense and is entitled to general and special damages,” states the notice of civil claim...

...A six-minute video of last year’s Halloween bash is posted to YouTube and shows costume-clad party-goers drinking and dancing in the apartment. Tickets for the event were said to cost upwards of $100 and the evening featured a performance by a Michael Jackson impersonator....

...“The police were here because the concierge called them and said the party was out of hand,” Cameron says to the camera. “So, we let them up. They took one look and said, ‘Yeah, this is fine.'”

The notice of civil claim alleges that a pet was allowed to urinate and defecate on the property. In the video, Cameron states that he had to “clean up dog poo” in order to get ready for the Halloween party.

The plaintiff also alleges the tenant allowed a flood to occur from a drain on the rental unit’s deck that caused damage to other units in the building.

Despite an order to evict, lawyers for the plaintiff allege that the Cameron and Howard refused to leave. On May 22 of this year, a court bailiff executed a writ of possession, taking control of the suite and putting the tenants’ personal belongings inside a storage locker, according to court documents...

Neighbors from hell.

Not feeling bad for the landlord though, as most of them only look for maximum return on investment rather than good tenants. This is what you get.

reminds me of the Billy McFarland that would do the same thing in New York. He would have influencers etc and host big parties and supply tickets to events to the wealthy trendy group. His head grew so big that he thought he could promote a music concert.

Interesting that they call it a penthouse when it's only on the 31st floor.

They say that unit is the entire floor - such an unusual building to have so much customization.

Probably a different building then.

Maybe you could get a deal on renting this unit!

It's interesting ONNI is suing them. Is that because ONNI still owned the unit, or do they have a property rental arm?

cairnstone · #**436** Posted **Oct 2, 2019, 6:25 PM**

Yes Onni has several rental divisions. One was an AirBnB company that would rent out units in a purpose built rental was in the news a while back. Also a commercial rental, hotel, and regular rental.

Right, I forgot they had been busted for that!

officedweller · #**438** Posted **Oct 2, 2019, 6:45 PM**

Could be The 501 - 501 Pacific - which is also an Onni-built building.

Yup - here it is:
https://luxuryrentalsuites.ca/lrs/pr...c-street-3100/

Each of 5 bedrooms has a big ensuite.
Comes with 10 (or 12) parking spaces.

Klazu · #**439** Posted **Oct 3, 2019, 2:20 AM**

Ah yes, I have seen that unit on market for a long time with constantly changing price. It always makes me smile to think that the unit comes with fricking TWELVE parking spaces.

If I recall correctly, the founder or one of the senior executives of Onni owns the place which likely explains the lawsuit. I hope they sue the shirt off the clown renting it!

That's what you get to renting to a Cannabis exec
