The LED roof lights are on tonight.  They started out blue, but are now red/orange.  Celebrating the first move-ins?

Gary, that looks amazing!

Stunning colour display this evening. I love having an uninterupted view of this landmark building from my humble abode.

The speed with which this building was constructed is nothing short of amazing.

What a beautiful skyline.

If it kept my strata fees lower*, I'd take on the "burden" of collecting my own mail. It's only about 3 pieces a month for me these days anyway.

* how many concierges would need to be employed for daily mail delivery to every unit in HP1?

The biggest benefit imo is acceptance of packages from couriers, which kinda does require their presence all day. With free shipping from places like amazon and Costco, I’ve literally not been in anything but a grocery store since March. Which means packages all the time. It’s fine because of wfh, but under normal conditions, every other package gets dumped at the pickup location. Concierge was budgeted at $110k/year I think so that is like $50/mo per unit. Even one avoided excursion/mo to UPS makes it worth it to me. Plus there are other benefits like more eyes on the building (definitely needed with BC Housing’s moves..).


Thanks for the pictures Marco! We’ve been eager to see what the actual units look like. We’ve got a walk through next week. If no one else posts pictures, I’ll throw some up:) what colour palette was that unit? Looks like an A1/jr 1 bdrm on 4th or 5th floor?


Edit: oh and the light is visible from at least Tolmie/Blanshard. Not sure how sight lines are farther up the Pat Bay Hwy. I’ve always wondered if you can see HP1 from the Broadmead bridge over the highway..now it’ll be easier to test;). Should be very visible from the hill in front of Royal Bay as well. Now helijet needs to get flying again and I need to get dispatched on business again..should be a nice beacon when you’re heading home after a long day. Okay maybe I am way too excited about moving

Finally we'll be able to avert our gaze from the Bank of Commerce building and View Towers!

Hey if any owners want to join, there is a facebook group for Hudson Place One owners: https://www.facebook...HudsonPlaceOne/

 

There's some helpful discussion happening, but with more owners the group becomes even more useful.

For sure. Just over two years ago, when I started working nearby, it was just a hole in the ground.

It seems like only 14 years ago when we were wondering why the Hudson redevelopment was taking so long.

I kid. Relax.

Can someone please identify HP1 for me in Gary's pics? All new buildings look exactly the same -- especially new condo buildings -- so I'm having trouble picking it out.

A 23 year-old resident of this building was only nine when the Hudson public open house was announced.

is that electronic thing a food replicator?

[aastra]

I think it might be a free ATM for residents. As much money as you want, whenever you want it. This is a luxury building, after all.

I'm curious to know the people who have the coin to pay the strata fees this building will bring...

Why do you think the strata fees here would be any worse than any other newer building downtown? I live in a building with a pool/gym, etc. and our starta fees aren't insane.

I fail to see where I compared it to any other newer building downtown, or called the fees insane. Besides, insane fees would be relative to the payer.
