Downtown development could be expanded

A residential tower planned for downtown could be higher than originally anticipated. David Ewasuk has the details.

It must be gratifying to see this come to fruition Ken.

A bit, yep.

100 out of 285 units leased and an additional 37 storeys is what I heard

100 units leased already is a pretty good sign especially with how recent this is too. I’m guessing we’re going to see similar numbers from the other downtown residential developments like Falcon, Peak and probably the Parks too.

It just seems like such a nice vote of confidence in downtown that I’m curious if this changes plans for other developers in the area to either accelerate or even expand their proposals like Qualico did.

Also I love that students have been specifically mentioned in the video too. Students and amenities/services to students will be a major driving force for downtown if harnessed properly.

The other perk The Switch provides is indoor guest parking. Visiting the new towers over in the University area or even Mercury, there was no guest parking. I'm not expecting The Parks will either.

I also heard Ewasiuk call the building “Shift” X 3.

I also feel it will probably go well, but seems to me the most sensible thing for developers is to see how leasing goes for these projects being completed and recently completed, and then react accordingly.

I realize this may be frustrating for the city planners and would be city planners here who seem so impatient to act as if their pants are on fire, but speculative building which gets ahead of things often ends badly.

CTV added a correction to the bottom of the article.

Getting a tour next week. Pumped to see what Qualico has done and hopefully will share a bunch of photos of our experience.

How was the tour? Btw, I just checked their website and it is showing 32% leased up = 80 units off the market.....how accurate is that number...who knows....but it is still a solid number not as good as CTV's story claiming 100 units leased, but good nonetheless.

Rescheduled.

Just checked the website - it is showing 109 units leased / 258 = 42% leased. Leased 29 units since Dec 08th.....looking good!!!!

Qualico staff are too busy giving tours to interested parties rather than outsiders looking for some free Qualico swag....lol
