I am pretty close to writing an offer on a unit in this project. Any previous purchasers upgrade to the EV charging option with their parking? The sales director says this is no longer an option, which is really disappointing .... Also, has anyone been successful in making changes to the color schemes and finishing's? I am finding this development to not be very flexible and reasonable with minor changes and requests. Any information or thoughts on this project will be helpful. Thank you!

I purchased a unit, I inquired about the electric vehicle charging but she said it would be up to strata, I was unaware that they sold some for others and didn't give the option to some?

The base piece of the Aquara crane was on a flatbed in Songhees this morning. Here is it being installed on the Pearl site. (Farmer is building both, Aquara is on hold)

A walkway, a lower level foundation, one crane base and still excavating.

The Pearl crane-in-waiting has been loaded on flatbeds at the Aquara site. A mobile crane is being set up at the Pearl site. I'm guessing the assembly will start tomorrow.

The crane at full height. Taller than I expected.

So glad to see that the waterfront walkway will be completed in no time.

Would 1st or 2nd quarter of 2024 sound about right for completion on this one?

The site is much larger than it seems.

I think that's largely true for most large developments.

 

So are you VV's photographer-at-large now? We appreciate your largess.

Speak for yourself regarding laconic's derriere.  ;)

I tend to have few words whenever we're talking about laconic's derriere. But if we're talking about the derrieres of VV forumers in general, I think "hugess" might be more applicable than "largess".

All cheekiness aside, let's not get behind on our posting responsibilities. Isn't zoomer overdue for some new pics around town? Mike K. might need to start kicking butts.

Are there still units left in this project? I've been looking at this project for some time but could never quite pull the trigger.  Are the prices still around the same? Thank you for the intel in advance.

Current state of the Pearl. The concrete construction is already pretty far along at the lowest level. It is wider than the length of the construction trailer. At the same time, blasting continues toward the street.

The progress seems slow from this angle, but looking west from the site there is significant progress. They are still blasting/excavating at the street/east end.

The Pearl will be encased in solid rock. If you worry about earthquakes, this is a building you probably should consider.
