Oh man this is going to be construction central! 3 large multi family projects going up in one area.

Don't forget that a block further east Keynote has a land use in. Couple that with the three Stampede Hotels and by 2030 this area will look and feel very different.

Ellisdon has taken this out to tender. Sounds like its moving forward. Drawings said it is a full joint venture between Oxford and Wexford Developments.

For construction dummies like me, is the tendering out process different than a costing exercise?
I often hear of companies doing a costing exercise before going ahead with a project.

Don’t think there are any details. Except didn’t they ask for basically no height restrictions on their land use proposal?

Good question. I thought costing was a general exercise to get a ballpark figure decide if it’s in the range of feasibility before putting out to tender.
