I was interviewed for the show

Big City Broker is one of my favourite shows. Brad Lamb is a great salesman, and I liked the episode when he spoke at a meeting to a bunch of toronto nimbys. He put summed up the real estate situation there to a t!

I don't get HGTV - are these shows posted online afterward? I wouldn't mind watching the one with DanMan and the one KitchenerBitcher is talking about with Brad Lamb and the nimby's. Can you tell me when that episode aired?

Well, you were practically selling his project for him. Most of the other people they talked to seemed to be just re-shoveling his lines...probably retold by the sales people over and over. You actually said something new.

Not sure I agree with you on the architecture...but it got you on TV

I like how Brad near the beginning of the show, said something about achieving best building design in Ottawa, and he said "It's not hard" and laughing. I couldn't help but laugh myself. Who could blame him, with all our lame building design in this town.

I just about feel over laughing at that remark too. It was also the way he said it too....

He definitely has not achieved the best design...not even close...but it certainly isn't hard to land in the top half or even top 25%!!!!

What are the sales at Central these days? Anyone heard recently? Last time someone posted, I think they were approximately 50% sold.

That article explains why they kept the front of old building....I guess it was a heritage requirement.

They had the episode on again this evening on HGTV....man o man does Brad Lamb come across as an arrogant pr*ck...maybe I'm misreading him.

I also noticed one of the Tamarack boys briefly shown...I never realized that they were partners in all this...I thought they just built out in the burbs.

Beatrix · #**159** Posted **Dec 5, 2008, 9:54 PM**

I always walk by the sales center on my way to work.

I agree that this building will do wonders for the area. How far along is it in regards to sales? Any rumours about possible construction/demolition dates?
