Oak Bay Avenue's up-market Redfern condominium nears 30% sold status; construction launching this fall

We can argue as to what is downtown in terms of greater Victoria but I see the city in terms of being from Sidney over to Sooke. Anywhere you want to place it is still pretty damn pricey for a condo.

The 1 bedroom for $649k is small at 556 square feet. The bigger 1 bedrooms are priced at $720k and all face north and ohter than the unit on the 2nd floor, none of the larger 1 bedrooms have balconies - only juliettes. I understand this was a demand of the city due to the rear of the building facing directly onto residential homes - no sitting outside or bbq-ing. Also - no dens or offices which in a post covid worlds, seems like a miss to me, but then perhaps this particular market doesn't work from home (or at all). The finishings are (or will be) absolutely stunning - there is no doubt this building will be high end luxury. I also liked that each parking stall will have the ability to have an electric car charge right at the parking spot (I think it was an additional $700).

Excavators on site the last week and digging has begun.

Mike,

 

When you commented on the pricing at Redfern i.e. square footage for boutique buildings is heading to $2000 per sqft.   How would you compare Redfern to any other boutique builds in regards to pricing prebuild and resale post completion.

 

Bellewoods is in a similar location ( just my opinion ) to that of Redfern. They both front onto busy streets and have a quiet side to their projects. Each in or near to their communities, Oakbay, Rockland.

 

Bellwoods was cheaper, yet not sold out.

Bellewoods also has the added attraction of druggies in the neighbourhood,

Aastra is taking it to the streets!

Do we know it was actually him, or his consigliere?

I found a CD in the trash and it had lots of recent development pics on it.

I shouldn't be surprised. Mike K. throws out all kinds of interesting stuff.

I just want to say, G-Man was right about the sidewalks. They're actually quite handy for getting around. I should have listened to him sooner.

They tend to have fewer cars so one can make better time.

[lanforod]

So long as you avoid certain sidewalks. Like on Pandora .

You mean when he’s not setting trash cans on fire..

Aastra probably burned that CD himself.

An easy way to find out would be to actually open any packages you receive from me rather than putting them straight into the trash. There will always be a lengthy explanatory letter inside, FYI.

"Dear Mike K.

 

How are you? I hope you are well. I am very well myself. How about this weather we've been having? Did you see Nparker is getting closer to 40,000 posts? Wow. I can hardly believe it. Can you believe it?"

 

...and so forth, for another dozen pages.

Where else is it legal to have a fire right now, if not in the trash?
