I've noticed some work being done in the old TD branch that's part of this project and is supposed to be torn down. They've redone the walls and hung modern light fixtures, some woodwork and club chairs.

Looks like either a sales centre or a lounge of some kind. Didn't think to take a picture at the time. Does anyone know what's going on here?

Here's the ad appearing in the Citizen's Homes section today. Prices from $400k to over $5 million.

I think we can all agree that is unprecedented pricing ambition for Ottawa, though the location is tremendous. Not sure how many people make the well over $1m/yr necessary to qualify for THAT mortgage.

Could we change the thread title to "Canlands A Development (re Hotel & Residences)"?

Well, I've reviewed my options and I certainly am not confident I will purchase my new residence at re

It's too bad, that location would have been great for a signature LRT tunnel entrance/commercial hub for the Sparks Street/Parliament Hill area instead of a luxury hideaway that's beyond reach for most of us.

Either way, it's great to see other buildings taller than 10 stories being proposed and potentially built in the downtown area...

Not too far off, it could have been something like this

(Although maybe it was just from an adjacent building)

I didn't know those photo blimps existed. Looks like my joke just failed.

I'm thinking a nearby building for sure (although for the prices they are charging for units I'm sure they could afford such an expense easily).

When I used to do architectural photography I would occasionally use a helicopter to get "actual views" for pre-leasing purposes but near by buildings were far more common as they don't require the binder full of permits needed to hover so low within the downtown core. Another option would be boom trucks or cranes designed for personnel. Once I even took shots from the top of the tower crane used for the original Canlands / World Exchange Plaza... now that was a rush.

I spoke with someone in their sales team today and got a few details I thought I'd share:

Launch will be April 14th.

They're looking to have focus groups from pre-registrants to go over plans and final planning stages.

The hotel will occupy the first 6 floors in both the Sparks and Queen street buildings, attached by retail and atrium space. The 14th floor will be a sky lounge for residents. The residence will have a private entry from the hotel and retail sections on Queen street.

The development will have two chief components, with the smaller (six-storey) part on Sparks and the larger (17-storey) part, including condos on the upper floors, facing Queen. The restaurant and grocery store will be among retailers at or close to ground level.

Shouldn't the thread title be changed to 17 floors?

That article mentions three interesting things. First that condos will be on floors 8 to 18 so if that is true were up to 18 stories. Next that if sales are good we're looking at 2012/13 occupancy so construction would start pretty fast after sales if we can assume a two year construction period due to location and finish quality. Lastly that some form of "market" will be in the base, sounds more like an up scale food court the way he describes it, but interesting none the less.

Cheers,
Josh

Citizen article on the launch

Quote:
Toronto’s highly regarded design team of Cecconi Simone have created designs for the condos, showcased in a luxe sales centre that will be the setting for a rocking by-invite-only launch party on April 14.

Ottawa’s real estate diva Marnie Bennett and marketing guru Karen Wood are culling an invite list of 350 “movers” and politicians in Ottawa. Star Motors, an auto dealer, estimates there are 2,500 Mercedes owners in Ottawa and many will be at the event. Holt Renfrew and Jubilee Jewellers are also on board, says Bennett, who says there are already about 200 on the registration list, including single men moving up the corporate ladder.

“About 40 per cent are single men,” she adds. “A lot are in the financial world and lawyers. There are also couples in their 40s and 50s,” says Bennett, whose office was just named the top performing Keller Williams location in the world.

She also has a short list of clients interested in condos topping $1 million and there is interest in the $5 million condo.
