FWIW the Met patio, while not as high or large is much nicer with better ambiance and IMO a cool big city feel.

BTW now that we know Richardson's involvement in TNS, does it have any impact on their plans to build a research/product development/whatever it was facility at Lombard Place? |
Reading McNeill's article, this is sounding more and more like two separate but complementary developments... Longboat east of Carlton, Northlands west of Carlton. Is Richardson involved in both projects?
|
^That's what it seems like Esquire. Only connection between the two is the skywalk. Don't look the same, different developers. Maybe Northland wanted the hotel to be stand alone.
|
So honest question, but where do the office tenants come for this place? Is this to meet pent-up demand or is it a play to just get tenants from elsewhere? I dont really have a grasp on the office situation in Wpg.

Seems to make sense, the residential component will be managed and owned by Sutton Place Hotels, a good fit, a hotelier, with 275 rooms going up next to 130 res. units as per the article..

CJOB article says tower two, the residential along Graham, will open in 2019.
http://www.cjob.com/2016/02/24/true-...ally-unveiled/ Tower 2 Tower Two will be, in Ludlow’s words “a 24 storey architectural icon” at the northwest corner of Graham and Carlton. It will feature 200,000 square feet of plaza, a second floor restaurant and retail space, boutique offices, and top floor residences with exclusive roof top amenities. It is scheduled for completion in early 2019. From a CBC article. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manito...ment-1.3460488 The anchor office complex, a 17-storey tower at 242 Hargrave, will be completed by summer 2018, True North officials say. The second tower will be 24 storeys and contain office space, boutique retail space and residential units. What is boutique retail space. Is this a mall? What is boutique office space? Both articles outline different boutique items, one is an error I would assume. |

So some fancy penthouse type condos in Tower 2? I guess we know where Mr Thomson will stay when he's in town. ;-)
As far as the patio, wouldnt the sun shine on it most of the day? TNS is south of it, correct? Or am I just very confused. |
Condos
Love the project. My only complaint is the hotel and condos are in two towers. The cool part of living in a hotel condo is having quick access to all the hotel amenities,, so separate towers is what is also at Alt Hotel/Glass house. As a condo buyer I don't even want to live below the 10th floor,, so having condos start on the 2nd floor is a waste,, no views and lots of road noise. WTF does Glass House have condos on the 2nd floor over looking a back lane? I assume this building will also have 2nd or 3rd floor condos over looking a back lane. At the very least the first 5 floors should be a parking structure.

In the evening when the Sun is in the west, it could be coming around the end of the building. |

To be clear, there are two condo towers.
One condo/residential is tower 2 along Graham. There is a second condo tower is with the hotel, adjacent to St. Mary across from the convention centre. |
^ The Sutton Place condo won't have 2nd floor suites overlooking a backlane by the looks of things... the podium guarantees condos will be at least a few floors above all that. And with the lowrise buildings on Edmonton chances are nobody will be staring at a brick wall from their fancy condo unit.

Is ray wan the architect of the hotel? |
Dividing the hotel and the condo allows them to proceed with the hotel in case the other doesn't sell.
