Level 5:



Level 6, second level to some of level 5 units.

am I blind or not getting the plans, but it looks like a lot of these smaller suits don't have bedrooms or beds in the plans. Some of them do, but a lot of them don't.

[Mike K.]

They appear to have staircases so the units are on two levels.

[gumgum]

Yeah. I've added the level 6, the second level to some of the level five units.

Interesting, nice to see.

But you posted the level 1 plan as level 2, so i fixed it for you.

[Baro]

ah I see! I've always found it interesting why 2 story units exist in such developments. Staircases are huge space wasters, and when you have elevators and stairs already going to every floor, isn't it very redundant anf a huge waste of precious space to put stairs in each unit rather than just stretching the space horizontally? Are people really willing to throw away such a chunk of space on their own personal staircase within their unit just for the novelty of having 2 stories instead of 1 larger story?

[Mike K.]

The undersides of staircases provide closet space for things like vacuums. I've even seen them accommodate those stacked washer/dryer units.

[D.L.]

If you have enough money a bit of wasted space is worth it to make a unit more spacious.

Two garage entrances on Rupert Terrace... and a # of double header parking spaces - on each parking level..


What will become of the small lot on Burdett?

[gumgum]

This is slightly ridiculous.

The cheapest one listed on mls.
Oddly, a 2 bed, 2 bath is only ten grand more.

[gumgum]

There's also a one bedroom, two bath ground-level townhome for $799,000.

The finishing of the display suite seemed average by today's standards. I mean it wasn't ultra luxury or anything.

All of a sudden, 60 Dallas Rd. seems like a good deal.

So what's the official name of this project?

[Holden West]

I believe it is "The Cherry Bank".

I walked by there this evening and there's an ancient looking excavator on site...

and what looks like a big power distribution cabinet..

Guess construction will start soon...

[Holden West]

They were hard at work at the site today.
