The George? Is that some sort of barbershop or something?

 

[dazzlingdave88]

I think so.

Word is 'The George' is now the name of the building. Named after George Trustina (owner and founder of Truman)

Ehn... I wasn't really married to Ventus Block, but the George really doesn't do it for me either.

 

[Mountain Man]

The George, thats only a little bit vain... lol

 

[BKha]

Yeah, just slightly vain lol. It might like it better than Ventus tho. Ventus seems like one of those trendy kind names that won't sound good in 10 years, whereas at least The George is named after someone. I sure like the way the building has turned out tho.

 

[Beltline_B]

I'm not overly crazy about it either but IMO better than Ventus

Hah! The Moustache makes the name even better. Anyone who has met George Trutina would understand!

I don't know him so it looks a weird. Hey, if it gets developers investing more in designs than I'm all for it.

Fully furnished rentals. I guess it'll function mostly as long stay hotel for now, but someday get turned into regular condo or apartment.

 

[Alex_YYC]

It would make a nice boutique hotel IMO.

The name and logo makes more sense now. Interesting choice given the business core is still suffering from high vacancy.
