Ahh Barcode wasn't that bad, it became a bit of a UBC hangout late in its life and really calmed down.

The tower going on there is a 13 storey condo if i remember correctly... might be a floor higher or lower, I can't remeber, but thats the jist of it.

The "Thai Co" used car dealership at 30th & Main was being demolished on Friday. Anyone know any plans for this site?

New infill project at 33rd & Main, one level retail (about 9,000 sf), 3 levels residential (30-something units). www.liveat33.com Once we have our disclosure statement in place I'll be able to post more info.

Shitty as Celebrities is, it makes a convincing argument for itself as a night club. And yes, I've lived in large cities outside Canada.

I guess I should mention the 3 story apartment building a block West of Cambie and 16th at the South side, which was abandoned for a good year, is almost finished. All of the exterior is now in place and fences have come down.
I though it was going to be demolished because it stood open/exposed and was always soggy/wet with no facade to cover the wood during last winter.
No clue about the name..you can see it here on Streeview

It was never abandoned, they were just working really really slowly. It's a really small firm doing the work, and they were also deciding if they should sell the units or rent them. I guess the economy's ups and downs made them decide to rent it.
But yes, glad to see it nearly done! It looks very good.

Ah, I pass it daily and didn't see *anybody* there for a long time...at one point fences/coverings were falling down. Thanks for the info, so they are renting it? Do you have any more information about it? Yep, its looking pretty good and fits in nicely!

My house shares the alley with it so I could see the construction people daily going in the back. They were really slow and it was starting to get annoying because of all the mess in the alley.
They don't seem to be doing any advertising for it, I think they already have enough people interested to snap up all the suites!
When I last talked to them, about 2 weeks ago, the plan was to have everything finished by March.

I saw this sign today on the lot adjacent to the Roxy and the Money Mart on Granville, and don't recall seeing it there before - it has a render of the planned development:

Prometheus · #96 Posted **Feb 28, 2010, 3:59 AM**

Wow, what a major disappointment.

SpongeG · #97 Posted **Feb 28, 2010, 9:21 AM**

it was there a while ago than it disappeared

I passed it tonight and i thought someone needs to take a pic of it - it was dark and crowded when i walked past

the le chateau is coming along

I wish we had a bit more info about infill projects on Hastings east of Glen. I really love the infill and how it's revitalizing the scuzzy rundown parts of the street all the way to Boundary. (I like what's going on in the Burnaby part as well.)
