Also Qualico had other benefits that may have entered into the equation relative to unit pricing. If they push to get their 39-storey project underway it will also redound to their plan to flesh out the retail side of their offerings... lots of residential tenants, an existing office buildout, an outdoor pedestrian mall with a pocket park as a component, proximity to the ICE district, and a winterized pedway that connects to the entire civic centre and the downtown nexus of LRT may well influence the hoped-for retail/hospitality occupancy. The realization that this may also propel additional residential construction could make the entire Stationlands project move along with up-pace momentum.

The more that gets developed and built here, the more attractive it becomes. I do think this tower will be a catalyst for further development.

They may also already realize not a lot else is being built in this part of downtown now, so now may be a good time to move ahead before others start to, as rental demand here is increasing.

Yeah, I wonder the play here with the potential ice district village. Do you go faster to beat out the high supply once that gets going? Or try to let that take some of the up front risk to get the area going?
 
Looks to me like they are tunnelling the next section

On the website and its marketing on socials, this is the only new project that doesn't mention anything about bike parking/storage versus Hat 122, Mercury, Falcon, Abbey Park, Citizen.
 
It looks really good, but I just do not see it being particularly attractive to many demographics given its location. I hope that I am proven wrong here, but am unsure why you would choose this over other options given area issues.

I think the pricing, newness, and amenities may be a good fit for some young male professionals that want a shiny place near downtown and aren't worried about the area's challenges. Not sure if there are enough of them but I could see it being a fit for some.

If Hat at Five Corners is almost fully leased up (according to Puneeta McBryan's statements at the Council Committee meeting discussing downtown residential grants), then I'd argue this is an even stronger candidate based on pedway connectivity and the fact that the Ice District is right there.
