Kind of the brilliance of it. Most of the cost is in the exercise equipment that can be easily relocated. The rest is essentially a shell space + some ceiling lights, cheap plank flooring and painted sheetrock (maybe some wall mirrors also?) so pretty cheap to put together as a temporary solution that looks better than a lot of actual gyms out there.
That makes a ton of sense, I'm really excited to see this play out. What is your personal expectation for when they'll start the next stage? And do you think they'll do the connector or tower 2 first?
Condo's in the tallest? or are both towers rentals?
The second is a rental tower now according to the website.
Once they stabilize tower 1 and have confidence in the near to mid-term, I would guess that we see phase 2 going in ~2 yrs time, but that's a pure guess.
You catch on. Not very quickly but you do catch on.
I was wondering the same thing about falcon, but like someone mentioned on that thread, the average non building construction geek might not be aware of a coming second building.
Downtown and West End Vancouver also largely function as a resort. But if you would like to benchmark our downtown against Calgary, Hamilton, Ottawa or Winnipeg I will absolutely listen to you.
