@StopDropandLOL You think so? Not sure I agree, I think it looks pretty good.
Besides, the costs of a full reclad would probably have been prohibitive.

I looks better in person to some extent, also in if not focusing on it you don't really notice it as being painted.

It looks OK. I probably would not have done the composite wood look on the balconies but overall a nice conversion.

Solo in the number one position... this one exceeded my expectations.

As per staff, the tower is already occupied and 20% rented. There are only touch ups left to complete.
The newly built low rise is still under construction currently.

With this one and the Harley Court conversion (E11even). Strategic Group seems to be pretty experienced with these conversions, they've done a few nice ones in Calgary too

Huge upgrade for Capital Blvd IMO. Dead office building converted into res PLUS a surface lot goes bye-bye? Coool beans, man.
Also agreed on E11even. Dumb name not withstanding, I visited with a friend a few months back. Stellar job on the conversion. The upstairs shared use space was great too, and their rooftop patio was a nice touch.

this one feels a bit expensive though. Comparing it vs Maclaren, artika, etc. Not sure they will fill it up at these prices without series promotions. Especially with augustana coming on in a few months. Anyone know why they priced so high? Especially for not a huge new highrise (legends/sky/encore)

That does seem a bit high compared to other newer buildings. They're likely targeting young, professional couples at those prices. If you split that between 2 people it's not as steep of price to pay I suppose, but that's pretty much at the "I may as well get a mortgage" price

Is that pricing a lot of folks out of the market? Like the others have said... that's mortgage territory. Especially with rates being so cheap.
I would imagine this building has to be aimed primarily at gov't workers and students. Neither are particularly big spending groups. I thought the stick side of this project would go especially cheap, but I'm no broker/market analyst.
