It is a beacon as we're all complaining about it. A beacon is just a relative term, so, in this instance, it is a beacon TO NOT EVER TOP.

How many reasons do you want?

  1. 'Concrete Wasteland' aka the former BMO site on 101 Street in the heart of our Downtown
  2. 'Manufactured Wetland' aka The Emerald site on west Jasper Ave.
  3. The ugliness that is 121 West
  4. The ugliness that is 'The Beacon' at their Holyrood site
  5. The ugliness that is The Quest
Their only redeeming quality is that The Pearl is one of our tallest residential towers and doesn't look like hot garbage.

They gave us two zones that can only be described as 4th and 5th world then these lovely arrangements that look like a young girl putting on make-up for the first time. You know... the clown face approach The problem is this is not their first time putting on makeup... and it still resembles a first timer making our city LOOK LIKE A FIRST TIMER.

On top of the reasons given above, the way they work with the communities in which they plan and build their projects is frustratingly awful. I don't know what this aspect was like when Rakesh was running things, but Raj seems to be overall just bad at this whole real estate development gig.

I laughed out loud when I saw that website. They somehow made it look worse than it even actually does in reality.

"East Junction"...what a laugh, how pretentious. Next they'll rechristen 114 St. and Jasper Ave, "The Olive(r) Garden"

Oh some the real estate marketing types live for pretentious. How about the mercedes and the convertible in the picture too? Just a typical day in the neighbourhood, I guess.

I suppose it could be worse, it could be East Junction Heights.

Do these include utilities and parking? If not, those are insane prices compared to other stuff out there. Better be a lot nicer on the inside than the outside for those rents. I don’t see this location as being that desirable compared to where many other apartments get built.

buckle up - this is where rents will likely be going esp after seeing what is happening in calgary over the last ~18 months.

Maybe for brand new apartments. Demand is much more decentralized here compared to Calgary and our supply has been keeping up.

Edit: I think being immediately adjacent to the LRT is how they're justifying higher rents here. The rents are pretty comparable to Procura's stuff at Century Park.
