$144k is the lowest price for a residential unit in the city in years.

This is great news! Residential is a great use for many of the unused old town buildings. I hope the New England building gets done someday as well.

That does seem good. A lot of the 350-450 sq. ft. Mermaid Wharf suites sold for more than that recently.
BTW, want to rent one for $3750/mo.?

This one is cheaper though:

Those are pretty affordable for vacation rentals.

Starter condos targeting first-time homebuyers are coming on the market now that a Victoria developer is converting one of downtown's earliest hotels into living space.
[...]
well that side of that block looks a lot better, but the other side still has the parkade & the blank wall of that human resources building on the corner, which aren't very interesting to look atI have heard that the inside of this building is very cool. I feel so grateful that Chris Lefevre has taken an interest in restoring old town in such a classy fashion.That whole block is looking so much better.

Yes, the storefronts on the north side of this block of Yates are getting pretty upscale. A bit too much granite for my taste (this is not, after all, Oxford St.), but I guess the granite is set off by the granola cedar shakes on the Sitka store (which is not only wrong in terms of materials, but the proportion of the text vis-a-vis the size of the background/frame is totally wrong.)
Yes, floodlighting or animated neon tubing on the parkade would be fantastic. Ideas like this came up at the city's public art forum on tuesday evening.

TC front page pumping $150K closets in lower Yates derilict buildings. Firstly, would you want to live in an ancient brick building with the threat of earthquakes all around ? and how the hell does one live in 400 Sq. Ft. and be a "happy owner" ? Not to mention the old ghosts haunting those digs...creepy !

or the wait-staff that work in the Lucky, so they won't be complaining about the noise... ;-)

Actually I'm seriously tempted by those units. They are so cheap and it would be less than two blocks from my work.
The $150k units will be snapped up instantly.

The prices are a far cry from the $150,000 starting price advertised back in 2009 — $227k - $369k is the price range on the website.
