Strategic is 2/2 on reviving these dead projects. I was down in Mission the other day and the 2020 building is a neighborhood fixture now with active businesses.

I wonder what the discount would be over doing a site from scratch? I would suspect there is more risk/restrictions for a half-built project being purchased and restarted, but you also have some of the work done already. Would be interested to hear some comments from those with the experience of such things

While the original parkade in One was not totally complete, most of it was. That starting point had to save anywhere from 9 to 12 months of excavation, shoring, site prep and concrete pouring. I don't know what $$$ that would equate to but it is a big chunk of the construction schedule.
The risk of course, is whether the foundation is safe. Obviously, whatever modifications or additions they had to make after the fact, made it so.

Which render? Is the one in post #88 the one they’re going with now?

I had a dream last night that it got really cold in August, and that this one had its elevator core above street level already. That is all

I had a reality today that is was really warm in January and that this one had its elevator core above street level

As far as I know, this is the latest render:

ugh, a parking podium. guess you cant have everything.

 

[haltcatchfire]

If so, there’s no columns or rebar connections at those corners for another podium level which is odd.

This is the most recent design, the one that came with the most recent DP submission The confusion comes from having the old rendering in the database page. I'll go in and change it.
