You're not off the hook yet...lol. "5 years just to break ground..." refers to "what" exactly?

Based on poor leasing and market condition, he estimated a 5-year delay before breaking ground on the second tower. He personally guessed that after 5 years, favorable market conditions would allow Tower 2 to move forward, potentially followed later by the connector building (also market-dependent). Despite being told that both remaining buildings would be completed within 5 years, he remained skeptical.
 
I already don't like this guy - what a crappy salesman!! Isn't their primary job not to "hype, hype and hype some more of the entire project?" Sounds like he doesn't wanna be there.....perhaps a sheep in wolves clothing? Do we have a YYC'er up here to assist the process of not building in YEG? lol

Exactly.....especially if the salesman/woman looks like this.

The way the "5 years" thing was phrased leaves so much for interpretation that it leads me to think that it's more likely than not just him trying to reassure the potential renters that there will be no construction going on for the foreseeable future like someone said.
But let's assume that 5 years is the estimate for the completion of the second tower and connector, for example, and that these are built entirely separate, and consecutively to each other, this would give ~3 years to complete the tower and ~2 years for the connector, based of how long this tower took to be finished?

Ultimately, I would much rather hear from the representors from Pangman or whoever holds the purse strings for Parks 2 than from some lowly sales weasel.
 
Hmmmmm......interesting that Maclab just lost their Director of Marketing and Communications, this in addition to their "Senior Leasing Manager" - who works for a 3rd party anyway...who went to market Dub's Westmount apartment....

I find the 5 year statement dubious to begin with and when it comes from a person whose motive is to sell something, even more so.

Not sure about the overall size of the Northern Lights in relation to the park but the feature has visual appeal (to me) from the road against the Parks building. The Northern Lights feature adds a lot of presence to the building. (In winter the colored light emitted from the Northern Lights would nicely reflect on ice sculptures - assuming that the city permits them and that park access isn't restricted after dark so that people could view them. Reserving final judgement on the Northern Lights until after the park is completed.)
 
The more I've thought about it (and I've been on site), the more I unfortunately don't like it. In relation to the Parks, and other buildings nearby, the Northern Lights feature is simply too obtrusive and dominating in that space. Viewpoints will be blocked or cluttered. It'll be great in winter for the ambiance, but in summer, there will be a giant white ring everywhere you look if you're lying on the only grassy area in the park.
