off the top of my mind, the round windows look a bit reminiscent to the circle from the regency in coquitlam.

^I like those windows, something a bit different. At least it doesn't have any faux crap attached to it.

I'm not familiar with the area, so what can I say?

currently the area is quite gross - old ugly low rises

anything is an improvement

I'm in Regina all week so i can't look into it, but that is not a render for the hills. Things could've changed since I last saw it but that isn't even close. The presentation centre will be open in a couple of months, the strike slowed everything down. I do know the floorplans haven't been approved yet that's why the sales where delayed.

Damn!
Better not be a westside wanna-be like King Edward Village.

I hope you are bringing an exciting development with you?

^^^^ I hope finally hearing something official on the Superstore site this week was good enough for you.

Yikes...I forgot all about this post!!

Certainly good news indeed...I suspect you had a hand in it somehow. I do wish/hope the design is more "urban" something that would be more pedestrian friendly....but I suspect from intitial reports that it will resemble a typical big box centre with free standing buildings surrounded by ample parking.

Anyword as to when we'll hear of the tenants? Some are new to Regina I've been told. Is there anywhere one could see some renderings of the site plan?

Don't get me wrong, it's great that this site is getting some use after sitting vacant for years....but I this is a huge parcel of land, in a very visible area of the city,....it could have truly been a spot for something truly great with a mixture of uses...something that would tie the Warehouse district to the city centre.

Wrong thread?

The Hills is at Nainamo and Kingsway in Vancouver and proposed to have a couple of mid-rise towers and a Save-on-Foods grocery store.

jlousa · #31 Posted **Nov 15, 2007, 12:40 AM**

*l* this thread has gone way off topic.
Anyways in regards to the Superstore site in Regina, there will be alot more streetfront retail, a couple of new national chain restaurants, lots of office and commercial space in the existing space. I will certainly improve the area.

Back to the Hills, sales are now early 08 due to the civic strike.

I still have yet to see a rendering of this entire project......anyone care to enlighten us?

mr.x · #33 Posted **Feb 7, 2008, 12:15 AM**

look at the first post in this topic.

Yume-sama · #34 Posted **Feb 7, 2008, 12:23 AM**

I just don't see this building being very successful as an investor magnet.

Why, they may actually have to rely on LOCAL buyers!

vanlaw · #35 Posted **Feb 7, 2008, 12:51 AM**

There has to be more to this project than just the one tower in the first rendering. The lot is just too big to only have one tower. Perhaps 4 level lowrise in addition to tower?

A) there is more to the project than just 1 TOWER........

B) as I think jlousa said in another thread the image posted is not the final rendering of what is going to be built. He seemed to say that the image posted is way off what is now going forward......

pfffft...those are nothing, the tower is everything.

i've posted details on this one before, beleive in the general vancouver thread so someone can look it up. Off the top of my head I beleive it's a 22 storey tower on the corner, the city made them reduce the back tower from 15 down to 9 stories, mind you the front tower went from 17 to 22 to make up for it. The podium will be high at 7? stories, there will be townhouses on the back site, there will be a supermarket (originally Save-on foods, but with the rumour of a Save-ons opening at King Ed Village it could end up being a T&T that was originally scheduled for King Ed) there will also be a neighbourhood pub/cold beer wine store, a daycare and I think that's about it.
