The Mark | 123m | Completed

[jlousa]

The issue I'm sure is the height. They are arguing the city had already approved the previous permit for 600ft and the purchsers claim they were aware of this when purchasing their unit, they did their due diligence by studying the city's own documents. The city is now after the fact looking at increasing the height. Now legally I don't think there is a case on that alone as council is able to change it's mind. I believe there might be a case in that the city would be breaking their own zoning policy for that area if they allow more residential density then commercial density as is being proposed. They might have to adjust policy before granting this rezoning or they would be in breach of it. I don't believe that is something they really want to do though. Law is not my area so hopefully someone who works in that dept might have more insight.

Back onto the Mark, there was a lot of flack about the constant increasing in FSR without any additional public benefit apparently the 37space daycare had already been agreed on when density was 5.0FSR it was then increased a couple of more times w/o any additional public benefit except purchasing space from the density bank. Locals were pretty upset about not understanding where the city stands as it keeps renegotiating upwards after the fact making all previous due deligence by residents uncertain. Uncertainly is not a good thing from a government.

They've started digging and clearing the site yesterday. I look forward to this eventhough it'll block my view of the lions and downtown.

[Locked In]

^ That's the spirit! Thanks for the update.

Mods or SFU: seems like the thread title should be changed - the building info page lists the Mark at 41 stories, 123 metres.

I look forward to this only if it will increase my 501 property value.

So what's the story on the mark? Has excavation actually started?

[dleung]

Scroll right for the goodies:


Finished off Patina, RC, Georgia and Capitol as well

^nice work

[Some guy]

Very nice, very nice indeed.

[geoff's two cents]

Excavation has begun.

[Metro-One]

So what is the deal with the Mark?

Is it 140 meters or 123 meters as suggested on the Vancouver diagrams? There is a debate going on at the #11 to 30 thread in the Canadian section.

And is it indeed beginning construction, or is the plan just to dig the hole currently?

[jlousa]

The 140m was approved, not sure if the new units were released for sale though.

[osirisboy]

they released the "private collection" which are on floors 35-47 back on june 24th.

47 floors?

[Metro-One]

So if they are indeed selling units as high as a 47th floor than the Vancouver diagram section is wrong listing it as 41 floors and 123 meters.

Are you sure about that osirisboy?

you're both likely right.

a few floors are probably missing - 4,13, etc.

41 stories, but the top floor is labelled 47

Yeah, I thought of that today actually, haha! I hate when they market it as such, simply a lie.

Still, there must be some current elevation available for us to see so we can settle this new height debate. Everyone on the Canada section believes that it is 123 m due to renderings posted on the Vancouver diagram.

[osirisboy]

Is there an updated render available?

[eduardo88]

Is this project still just "Proposed"? From reading everything on this thread I get the impression that it's approved and that some excavation has started. Shouldn't the thread title be changed then, or am I missing something?

[bulliver]

It was my understanding that excavation does not count as under construction. They need to pour some cement...
