Clear communication can help us to avoid the intensely bitter arguments that tend to rage on this board. I'm still seething about that thing Mike K. said.

 

Is it the intensity of the arguments or the intensity of the bitterness that bothers you?

[aastra]

I feel like you're trying to start an argument with that.

It must be exciting for people who are moving in!

 

I'm surprised it's only 70% sold though...didn't they quote that percentage late last year as well? Seems like a unique buy, if not a bit overpriced. 

 

Seems fairly normal for Victoria. IIRC even the Jukebox still has unsold units.

 

It would be a disaster if it were a Vancouver project, though.

[Mike K.]

Victorians love move-in-ready units, so it’s not an issue here. Jukebox is at 90% and would have been sold-out this spring had it not been for COVID. Also, if you play your cards right that last 10-15% of inventory is all cream, so there’s no rush to push them out the door ASAP as you’d see at a project where the bank is still collecting.

The highest floor SW corner unit to ever hit the MLS. Stunning panoramic views of the Ocean, City , Majestic Inner Harbour, Olympic Mountains, Sooke Hills & beyond will take your breath away the moment you enter this state of the art residence. Entertain inside or outside enjoying all day sun on large south facing covered balcony. Hudson Place One by Townline is the newest addition to the already well-established Hudson District.

The province should buy it to use as a mini shelter

"The highest floor SW corner unit to ever hit the MLS"

 

That's a roundabout way to say "it's high up but not a top floor"

That unit is 1204 sq. ft., so $1,370/sq. ft..

 

The MBR is 10'10" X 11'7", which is not bad (although hardly room to allow for a dresser at the foot of the bed), but for $1.65M?

 

Also, a 6'10" wide balcony at that height is virtually useless in my opinion, even if it is 37' long. Anybody with even minor vertigo is not going there.

There's a big sightline premium being charged for sure, unlikely anything will get in the way for the next decade or so. I do agree the balcony is a bit slim considering the price tag - the chaise would have to go in a corner.

Gorgeous - looking forward to more pics today from both dynamic beasts! Really miss your 4K videos Gary, and live streaming on YouTube.

Saw a surveyor on the site of HP2 the other day and noticed today an excavator has been lowered and work is going on with blasting and digging on the corner of 

Blanshard St & Fisgard St

One of its best angles - It's a great looking tower.

^Thanks for that photo. I tried to snap a few pictures from the Rock Bay side but my cellphone needs some upgrading...

Here's a pic from the 17th floor on the east side. Methinks HP2 is going to seem very close.

Thus proving that all new condo towers look exactly the same, except when they don't.
