Milner Building Residential Conversion | 53m | 12s | Westcorp | Kasian

Possibly, but mixed-use buildings are tricky and expensive due to separation of uses/spaces, additional elevators, deeper parkades etc.

My prediction is that this building is going to continue stay empty for a loooong time. Don't get your hopes up. There are some very expensive repairs needed to the utilities infrastructure in this building. Westcorp is more focused on their Kelowna and recently announced 51 ave Edgeway developments, which for a small company like Westcorp, is really all they have the capacity to handle. Nothing will happen with Milner for at least 3-5 more years

I'm really not a fan of the dog in the manger approach to leaving things sit for such a long time, so if they don't have the capacity to do it I hope someone else who does buys it instead then.
