Madness?

MADNESS?

THIS! IS! SKYSCRAPERPAGE!!!!



In all seriousness though, we will just have to wait and see on what Fortress will be doing in the next couple of months or so. We are at that point whether we will see something out of these folks, or not. We may end up having blue balls if nothing happens.

don't worry my friend

every project they have been involved in has moved forward the pace of construction has varied but they have all moved forward..

with 55 percent plus sales and partnering with Edenshaw I believe its a go... well see how the grant thing goes but they should approve it a project like this would generate lots in taxes

MADY WAS THE DEVELOPER ORIGINALLY fortress took it over now edenshaw is the developer along with fortress

i really hope u people start to wake up man and realise that mady was the developer behind both collier and skycity and fortressrealdevelopment was only adviser that selected the site because they felt it was a prime spot to gain value once developed.

this project is moving forward im sorry that all u misinformed people keep thinking that fortressrealdevelopments is a scam

it makes me laugh

[Urban recluse]

I hope you are right.

LilWayne is full of it people.


First off. 60% sold? no it's not. Its only about 15% sold. In fact legal documents that I can confirm state this.

Also they can say 50% or 90% sold it doesn't matter. What happens is they are financed and resold as renter units. To think 60% actual people bought into sky city is another reason to believe a scam.

Secondly. The permits for construction was denied last month and 2 of the construction bids were put up on the public site as of March 12th-14th

People who work for Skycity come on here to give more BS as its some kind of game. I feel bad for the 15% who actually gave their $$ to these people.

Its sad.

By the way. Spring is here. And they said they were going to get shovels into the ground by spring.

Magically they haven't received a penny from the gov't but YUP THEY ARE GOING TO START SOON GUYS.

Get ready for the big groundbreaking.

Whats funny is if they do get a permit and everything goes along nicely in the next 5 months. They will start to dig a nice hole and it will sit there for 1 year and say its coming along nicely.

Stay away from these losers. These people are liars.

Please provide PROOF only 15% sold.
Spring isn't here. It's STILL winter.

The jets are never coming back
There will never be a new tower over Winnipeg square.
No one will buy condos in Glasshouse
DCondo won't get off the ground
Etc etc

What's next to bash???

Why are we wasting money on transit? We should put money on roads!
Why the hell are there no transit service to my house in Sage Creek? The buses here are a joke!
I hate this traffic. This city is so broken! We need to build more freeways in this city!
Why are they building an interchange on Main and Chief Peguis? That's too much! Just put a traffic light there!
There's not enough parking downtown! They need to build more parking lots!
Why are they building over parking lots downtown? These builders are stupid! There will be NO parking at all!

Wow this guy needs help woww

I don't want to argue this with u but this company has several projects on the go right now some even completed they aren't just holes in the ground.. U keep focusing on the Regina project but there are plenty other projects they have provided consultation on and even helped develop.. This is not a scam they have poured millions of dollars into this project your trying to mislead ppl over and over again . Ya fortress ain't perfect and have had problems but you are completely mad if you think this is some kind of con job.. This company has td bank.. Edenshaw.. Ellisdon on board and works closely with several Ontario developers they are not crooks

Why would major banks developers builders along with govt work with them.. 15 percent sold come on man they would of cancelled the project ages ago if that was the case.. Your crazy man crazv

Where can we access this info, NorthStarsProject? I personally know 11 people who bought. And yes, I'm a kinda big deal in this town (haha) but hard to believe I know so many of the 57 that purchased. Just seems like a pretty news worthy scandal the media would pick up if this was documented, no? Even if people buy with the intent to rent out, that would still be a buyer regardless who actually occupies the space. Or am I missing something?

Side note: The name calling between NorthStarsProject and LilWayne leave a bit to be desired. Admittedly, I'm occasionally entertained by it but it's often off putting. If you want to have a rich, diverse, and healthy forum you may want to tone it down. Otherwise, it could end up with just the two of you.

LilWayne, did you create a new account just to try and create a third party perspective? That's funny.

lol I'm not LilWayne. Just a short person lacking imagination when it comes to usernames! When people throw around terminology that suggests their claim is fact it makes me skepticle when it doesn't include source or research so I finally created an account.

Same page as most on here, I think. If it happens that would be great for Winnipeg but we shall see...

I did not get a response clarifying the condo count he alleged. So while I don't mean offense, I would like to hear responses on that matter before I lend any credibility to furthers claims.

NorthStarsProject claim would mean I'm the skycity queen bee knowing 11 of the 57 investors.

Real Estate business is a sad business. As its the easiest business to get away screwing people. This is why you see large projects in Toronto and Vancouver because its easier to find suckers to invest into these projects.

Great piece on CBC about this and how many people get screwed and how the government are trying to prevent these people from doing it again and ways to charge criminally.

Great piece on the company owner in Toronto who tried the syd mort in the USA and is now facing federal charges.

Good on our government in Manitoba to watch their $$ closely.

This thread seems to be dominated by two extremes. Super boosters and super bashers. Most of us would love to see a development like this but the proof is in the pudding. While other developers are getting things done and building these guys have been talking a lot without any real sign of progress, just delay. I don't care what is happening in other parts of the country good or bad. Healthy skepticism is justified about what's going on here.

This is reasonable. That said, I think it's fair to say that no one is really obsessing over this project, and I think that reflects positively on the overall level of activity throughout the city. 15 years ago when there was a lot less going on in the city, this project would have dominated discussion. These days, there are actual developments being built... if this one ends up joining those ranks then great, but if not... oh, well.

Good! I find the grocery options limited and far apart in the downtown area. Some variety would be welcome IMO. If competition makes it happen sooner...awesome.

[NorthStarsProject]

I reported about the grocery store. They all are out.

At this point expect a food fare or something crappy lol. Maybe Save on Foods as they seem to over do their expenses for new ventures now until they settle in their foothold and begin to start losing $$ and having to down size as they are not in the same league as Sobeys or Superstore.

No thrills? same thing.

For sure. There will be no major grocery chain that is viewed as nice. I mean Giant Tiger is close to downtown and its a joke.

I know True North wants a Sobeys in their badly but Sobeys knows the market too well and they aren't going downtown. Only way that happens is if they get a crazy good deal.

And we know how True North operates with deals.

Thanks for the insight, but I am still thinking 300 Main will boast a decent one. Out of all the players, if anyone can secure one it is Artis.
