This project is awesome... can't wait!!! Great mix of old and new
|
Definitely like the updates to the cladding, makes it look a bit more visually interesting. I really hope those ramps aren't using the same ugly mesh as the Pump House though. And that patio.. trellice? .. is weird. I'd rather just see the sky and not cut my head open if I lived there.
Anyone know if phase 2 of this project on Galt is still happening? |
Galt is a year or so away.
|
Great to hear.
|
This one looks to be interesting.
Galt is the Duncan site? |
Can't say I'm a fan of this crappy siding and I actually think the original renderings looked cleaner. Pretty much everything on this developer's instagram page is nicer than this building. But that's just aesthetics; obviously I'm happy to see a project like this go ahead.
|
Cladding definitely looks better then the initial renders. Good concept for this location. Hopefully RNDSQR does well with this.

Yes.. |
Yeah it would certainly be nice to see an architect other than 546 do something in the Exchange soon..
|
I saw a mock up of the siding for this project in the 546 office. It looks very cool.

Has a demolition permit been issued yet?
I strongly believe all development North of Galt is now frozen / sterilized until the vagrant encampment is removed and the parcel is sold to the adjacent property owner. They wish very much to purchase it and are really the only buyers. Why no one will help to facilitate this is beyond me . The immediate area has not been this bad in the 30 years I have been involved in the area. |
Yes, demo was supposed to start this week but they had a delay. Should start in next couple weeks.

The Hampton Inn, now Humphry Inn, went up pretty fast back in 2001 if I remember correctly?!

Insider secret: it is normal for contractors to build penalties into their prices to allow a little schedule freedom. When a job is tendered with severe financial penalties, they get passed on to the customer. So if the city were to say "$5000/day in liquidated damages," the estimator would guess how far over they would be (let's say 60 days) and add $300,000 to the bid. If it's a $10,000,000 job, odds are the winner wouldn't be any different with or without the damages built in.

Fences for demolition are now up around the green cinder block factory part of the building.
|
Demo is well underway.
|
That sure is a big slab
https://i.imgur.com/w1F8NNMl.jpg I really hope they pay some homage to GWM and give this development a cool name. Metal House or something. With all that metal siding it'd work. |
This will be a great project... Lets find a solution for Alexander Docks now.

^Definitely. They are powerless until the city finally turn the land over. I really have no idea what they could be waiting for.

Centre Village - 575 Balmoral Street Born: 2010 Died: 2020 - 10 Years old. Fail: Infill Urban Design. Architects won numerous awards for their award winning design. Same architects for 90 Alexander. I wonder if Alexander will suffer the same fate. $300 per square foot, 212 apartments, 24 parking spaces. $60,000,000.00 |

That is a thick looking piece of concrete.

It was never a co-op. It was conceived that way but they knew before construction got underway that that wouldn't fly. They also had problems that weren't necessarily related to the residents but more to do with the beer vendor nearby and the upper crust types who frequented it. They do admit that the design played a part in its downfall but was a failure due more to how it worked within the neighborhood. In other words, it probably would have worked out a lot better pretty much anywhere else. |
K I'm confused are they tearing Centre Village down?
|
It looks terrible. My neihgbours 1950's bungalow with zero maintenance looks better at this point.

https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...unds&crop=fill To make the existing building look decent on the outside it will cost a ton of money. 212 apartments and 24 parking spaces and no balconies they will have a tough time renting. And with all the homeless camps and increase in crime. I wonder if they know. And 12,000 vacant apartments in Winnipeg with a few thousand under construction. Rents are going down and landlords offering 1 month free rent and a $1000.00 gift card. Calgary is a different rental market than Winnipeg. |

The pump house a block away rented out quickly and I don't think it has any parking at all. And no balconies either. No parking and no balconies is quite common in this neighbourhood. Often the builders will try to do a shared rooftop patio to make up for the lack of balconies, but the parking issue goes with the territory of a heritage district. One month free rent is an old and common incentive to get renters--it's not a sign of our rental market collapsing. |

Based on the cmhc rental data for 2019, the winnipeg rental market has less availability than anywhere in alberta.
Theres supposed to be a couple different parkades coming in the area too. |
