The developer never adjusted prices up or down. Came out of the gate at around $1350/sq ft and to my understanding is still at that level.
Checked it out for a buyer the other day.
They start at around 1.35M for a 1433 sq ft 2 bed or 1100 sq ft 1 bed, so about 1000-1300/ft.
I think the avg of all remaining homes is likely someone around the mark you've mentioned.
Some more pix of the hotel. There is over a million dollars worth of mostly Canadian art.
Love the old phone 'look'
There actually is only 2 original features left, one the clock above the entrance and the terrazzo floor. Everything else is new including the mahogany panelling.
Outside the ballroom.
Pool above the porte cochere. The glass panels in the pool are not clear but you can see the water shimmer from below.
A typical room not a suite which has a living room.
Forgot about these pix of Relections the hotels outdoor light meal bar area on the 4th floor. Probably the best urban view in the city will be open soon.
The lights at the top of the hotel were on last night as well.
Yup, I got a full-on shot of it but I just haven't gone through all the photos I took yet. It looks quite nice! Too bad more heritage buildings in the city weren't lit up at night (Dominion Building, I'm looking at YOU!)
The last two pages are great pics guys! And what a phenomenal restoration of the Georgia!

I recall reading somewhere that this particular signage was placed there circa 1976/77 and was intended as a pilot project for future similar signage (directional pointing to places/landmarks) to be placed throughout the downtown core. Alas, the plan never came to fruition.
Awesome, thanks.
The lights at the top seem to create their own architecture (i.e. columns)
since the actual architecture up there is really just the windows and some cornice elements.

Thanks for the info, they seem like they're from that era

Can't post a pic, but I see a really nice balcony treatment being installed on the SE balconies of the building. Instead of the typical boxy end caps on balcony floors, they're installing some really nice white knife-edge bevels. A design treatment that would typically end up high on the list of the things that get deleted due to cost-cutting measures.
Thanks for all the pics guys, the last few pages have been really awesome.
I drove past the newly restored Hotel Georgia tonight and I gotta say it looks like pure big city class. I was with my brother who does not normally give a flying f*$k about architecture and he agreed. It reminds me of what you'd see in Old Montreal where every historic building is well lit at night.

Perhaps something we can hope for, for the DTES in 15-years?
