Cause it is.

Relatively simple, compact, connected and a push to get ahead of weather.

Wouldn't it be nice if more projects could do that too.

 

[Gronk!]

Looks like they're completing one flat at a time

 

[IanO]

Get that showhome done is my guess.

 

[David A]

Yes, because trailer on site as show home does not say bespoke.

Are these townhouses built without basements? The photo, or my take on it, shows that there will be crawl space which may be unusable and inaccessible? Anyone else seeing the same or are there other photos of the construction or floor plans ...not that the townhouse floor plans would how crawl space. But if you are buying here would would want to know - and whether there are any utilities that may at some point in time need servicing or access because of flooding etc.

 

[IanO]

You can see that these are a half storey up/down front to rear with no basements.

Good design, eh

So these units were priced at $625,000 and up and the price has just been reduced by $100,000 across the board for all units.

Why? I was told the following:

"With recent stabilization of availability and costs of construction materials, pricing for The Flats has been revised, and the developer is passing those savings on to YOU."

There is an open house Saturday on site in one of the units even though it is still in framing stage. But people can get a good idea of the space and the views.

 

[IanO]

At 525 that is very attractive.

 

[Gronk!]

More units being built!

I'll wait for the mid-rise and then I will take out my check-book...

nice, but walkability score at the moment hovers around zero.

What would have you had them do differently to boost this?

What would have you had them do differently to boost this?

I think they were referring to the fact that walkability and transit access in the general area is horrible, therefore putting any development in this area at a significant disadvantage to places like Old Strathcona, Mckernan, Oliver, and even the Quarters.

Between 97 Ave and Rossdale Rd just makes going in and out of this area a pretty poor and dangerous experience as a pedestrian or cyclist. I really hope Rossdale can execute a more walkable atmosphere in the city's planned redevelopment of the area, as its the only real "waterfront" in downtown. However, it will probably be 30+ years before this area can transform into something decent. I wouldn't want to live here personally.
