Probably needs a mod to change the thread title, but 1616 West Georgia is the adjacent site for two towers, not yet in development. This is Park, 1698 West Georgia, by Anthem.

It's still 1698, but for marketing purposes it's now in Point Grey.

Isn't that just some random real estate agent website that posts pre-sale condos on every project.

Absolutely it is. Anthem's website for the project makes it look like it's located in an even more remote location.

Are you referring to another building called 'Whytcliff Park,' or do you see some connection with the rocky bluffs of Whytecliffe Park outnpast Horsehoe Bay? (>The rocky terraces, the greenery...)

They’re referring to the images on Anthem’s website that Changing City linked.

Very odd indeed unless someone didn't do their homework.

I don't think people care about the name of their condos that much especially if it's not a high-end/landmark building.

People don't but I've found that strata maintenance companies usually just know and use the name, not the address or actual strata plan number. At least these two will be addressed on diffirent streets (though this tower does have three units with private entrances addressed on Alberni).

Any idea how many below-grade levels need to be excavated? 213 parking stalls will be included per the rezoning application, but I couldn't find how many levels of parking that translates to.

It looks like six levels below grade.

Lovely updates Zep, as always. It's fun walking the stretch of Alberni watching this and Alberni go up. Going to be interesting to see people get in and out of here if they're in a car in these new towers.
