University City - What's Your Opinion

[bob1954]

I wish they'd get yellow out of there.

Thank you for your overwhelming response. We now have more pre-registrants than we have homes available at UniversityCity.ca. For the past 2 weeks we have been working very hard to give you, our pre-registrants, even better prices; and have been successful. As of today we have increased the number homes under $199,900 from 60 to 88.
Starting October 18th we will be contacting you, in the order of your registration, to come to our new sales centre and see for yourself what a great value UniversityCity.ca really is.
We will be in touch very, very soon!
Until then, keep spreading the word.

Turns out that it's actually 85 units under $199,900.

Not to focus on this development alone but couldn't some of the 2 bed and 2 bath units (e.g. Units 8 & 11) be configured into 3 bed units? Setting aside the economics of this, do you think 3 beds configurations of Units 8 and 11 would fly in Calgary? Personally, I think having two bath tubs and walk-in closets could be considered an inefficient use of space.

Bigtime, you are the resident family man. What's your take?

In the case of University City, a 3-bedroom condo wouldn't necessarily appeal to families, but to student roommates... 3-way rent split!

Im still a little unclear on where this is being located exactly, is it on the north side of station or the south? Like right at the station, or a bit farther away?

Essentially where KFC/Jamiesons/Pizza Hut are, north side of the station pretty much right on the pedestrian overpass.

Here is a rough outline of the titles off SPIN

I was in driving by last night and noticed that they were moving in appliances for the show suite. I peeked in the door and it looks like they will be opening up shop pretty quick.

This is where the sales centre will be.

I've also been told that Jamesons Pub will be "moved" across the street, into the other parking lot. So that's a bonus!

Got an invite to Open House in the mail box this afternoon. Wednesday the 27th.
The missus said she would try to scan it so I can post it here.
I will not be able to attend due to a council meeting....hopefully someone from here can?

[LFRENCH]

What time is the open house at? I wouldnt mind poping in there, after a night class at the UofC

[YYCguys]

Oh darn! I am going to be out of town on business that day! Second time this month, I'm gonna miss an open house (First one was Drake17) due to work!

[mersar]

Noticed tonight that the KFC has closed down, windows are all papered over and signs are all gone. Too bad, I was thinking of running there to get a doubledown for lunch tomorrow. Means progress on the project though I guess.

[bookermorgan]

Sorry about the delay!

Has there been a rendering or a site plan showing all 5 phases of the project yet?

There's a bunch of FAQ's on the Facebook page tab, about the project:
