Wowza, that's going to be a game changer in that area that's so tall!

If the DP's been submitted a rendering shouldn't be too far behind I hope

That corridor just north of 17th is going to be quite dense in the Central Beltline with all development (Drake, Smith, Mount Royal, Bentall rental on 16th and 12th etc.) Hopefully that will drive the completion of some of the shabbier parts of 17th (11th street - 14th)

I kind of like how there are lowrises on 17th and highrises one block north: the retail street has an airy sunny feel, and folks get a little peace and quiet a block away from all the action. And yes, hopefully more pedestrians in the area translates to better land usage on 17th ave at 10th-12th St.

On another note, I'm starting to like how the new building at 4th St and 17th is turning out. I had hoped for something taller and more iconic, but from a human perspective it does the job of making the area feel more urban and welcoming. The most important floor in any building is the main floor.

Yeah, the amount of new residential product being delivered and in the works on both sides of 17th will def keep boosting the strip. This year it seems like 5th to 4th street sw is getting a big boost with that new wine place, Brazilian bbq resto, and Anju coming along with the new ~15k of retail in the new development on 4th street. Now somebody please do something with the building that Twisted Kilt is in, that involves a bulldozer and a quick rebuild. Also like to see BMO on 7th street get the same treatment. Both underutilized parcels. Lots of work to do still.

Yes please .. Preferably something set back far from the street with a wide sidewalk to make it more pedestrian friendly and help join 4th with 17th more fluently

A low rise mixed use development would be okay there with me

Got word that the WAM on tenth towers are targeting Q2 2016 for first occupancies, so should start soon. Knew a Q2 2016 start date didn't sound right.

So with it starting so soon, I'm assuming these are rentals?

Thinking rentals, not sure though. One tower could be condo, other rentals.

Any updates about "6th and Tenth"?

I've heard they are starting sometime in May...take that with a grain of salt though

Delay Again.
Wonder how will the pre-approved mortgage be affected? Does the buyer will have to re apply again?

Spring2008 · #56 Posted **Apr 1, 2014, 6:52 PM**

Two years on the market with near record sales volume and demand greatly outpacing supply, a few things def went wrong here. Not sure it's worth even talking about anymore until we see the sales centre gone and pile drivers at the site.

So as of today I am in the market for a new to me condo. If anyone hears of, or wants to unload a reasonably prices 2 bedroom 1-1.5 bath with in-suite laundry let me know!

What is your price range and area of the city you are looking at?

Would 2+2 work or do you not want the master ensuite?

6th and Tenth:
Was told that the developer asks buyers to sign an amendment to the sales and purchase agreement for 2 dates change, one from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2016 and the other from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2017.

Have buyers of 3 Eau Claire received their deposit back?
