How are they going to make this one pencil? Pretty damn bullish development.

Found some pictures on their website. Looks really nice, like a fancy hotel.

Whoa, would be neat if there was a hotel or hotel component like this near the stadium.

Going to the Heritage Classic on Sunday reminded me how much the area around Common Wealth Stadium is primed for High-Density skyscraper development. The arena should be surrounded by towers that are a minimum of thirty stories each.

At yesterday's council committee meeting on dt office conversions, Puneeta McBryan spoke of a project she was excited about that just fell through and is up for sale. Maybe this is the one.

She said the developer decided at the last minute to move their capital to Victoria, Vancouver and some US locations where rental rates are higher and therefore better return.

As a city with affordable rental rates, or condo prices, we are not attractive as other cities to developers. So how is any city going to move to affordability? The more affordable you get, the less interest to build.

Another one bites the dust
I predict
a massively scaled-back building of 6 floors
the site may never be developed
some Bare-bones supportive housing
A really lame commercial development

More likely the China based developer has taken a bath in the Chinese Real Estate Crash and doesn't have the capital. Convenient to blame local conditions.

It's probably a mix of both.
Local market is not as profitable as other places in North America, this is obvious, and has been heavily debated on this forum. It is one of the reasons why we see Toronto developers bail out time and time again. There's just not as much money for them to make here as there is in other places that they're more familiar with (mostly Southern Ontario, in general).

But the Chinese real estate bubble has definitely burst, capital is tighter in China and the government has been very controlling with external expenditures, especially in things like this, because they want to keep as much capital as possible inside of the country. This was probably even a bigger factor than the first one, but it does not make he fact that our market is not as profitable for developers as others in NA.

That's a good point actually.

SO LAME.
But it always felt "too good to be true".

Shocker

So worst case scenario is that Rohit buys it and builds Phase 3 of Muttart Lands with another identical 6 storey wood framed masterpiece?
