Cant wait for the pics! I still remember seeing the massive hole in the ground earlier this year, -and now it'll hit ground in a few more weeks.

Thanks for the pics... Im guessing that's BSN in the background?
And just wondering if you knew how tall those buildings to the west of X are? (Im guessing anywhere between 10-12 storeys?)

This is the next Spire for me. Can't wait to see the cladding. Another 3-4 months I imagine.

 

[Hipster Duck]

Hmmm, I'd imagine it would be a little more than 3 months. They haven't even reached the ground level, yet. Typically you don't see cladding until at least the tenth storey.

The framed section in the foreground of this picture with the cables already placed was poured this morning. Any ideas where the main elevators will be, and where the ramp from P2 to P1 will be placed?

All the ramps are stacked above one another, sort of like a corkscrew. The top is just visible on the extreme right, halfway up. Efficient and simple.

There are 4 elevators, in pairs. You can see the two elevator shafts in the middle of the photo, covered up. Just to the right of each, you can see the stairwells (surrounded by the wooden fences).

^^ Thanks !! I can make them out now. I thought those seemed a little small for elevator shafts, so I assumed they were something else.

You're right. A little bit of unreasonable excitement on my part.

Recession Prices?

Hi guys,

As with many of you I'm sure, I have purchased one of the X Condo units. I was wondering if anyone here has any information about X Condo unit prices falling because of this looming--scratch the "looming"--because of the recession?

Anyone? I'm slightly worried about my investment...

Thanks,

pete

It all depends ... is it an investment to you, or are you going to live there? That's the real question.

What's your time frame.

Anyways this conversation should be in the real estate forum.
