Impressed with the sales actually. Does lack amenities nearby although maybe the powerplant area can become something. The location is great for river valley trail access though for sure.
 
^eventually, but the Ortona could have a small community amenity or even something in a work/live scenario out front of a townhouse.

I think the sales have been somewhat slower than anticipated with only 11 units and through a hot market until the last 4-5 months. Nonetheless Phase 2 is a completely different undertaking so will take time.
 
Gotta be honest...

I was expecting a lot more out of the interior based on how great I think the exterior turned out. Maybe this unit just has a more scaled back interior finishing to appeal to a lower price point compared to some of the others?

Funny how cyclical design is. If you swap out the matte black fixtures/finishes for gold brass, it'd look just like my parent's newly renovated house did in the late 90s with the all white walls, baseboards, cupboards and light grey carpeting.
 
Yeah and in 10 or 20 years people will be tearing it out and replacing it with something else. I wouldn't be surprised at some time if the gold brass makes a come back.

The most shade from the planned apartment and non corner unit likely makes it less attractive.

I think what has made it less attractive is what they did with the top floor (they didn't do this with any of the other units).

As you can see in this pic of the top floor - as you come to to the top of the stairs, they made a door and they drywalled in an area that should have been open to the stairs- or at least a half wall.
But they decided to make the entire top floor a bedroom.

I looked at this unit and a couple of others and I did not like that design choice. And now I see they are asking $555k for this one which is more than others sold for and this one has less features in it.

If I was heading back to Edmonton, this would be very attractive... but here we are;)
