Looking from our condo higher up rather than ground level, it looks even worse. The tree is covering the worst part. Even the homeless were there one night camping and I made the mistake of calling the police.

Walked by last week and got a pic.
Now that I think of it, will the proposed building have windows on the it's north side? If not then we're in for a nasty six storey blank wall which will be permanently visible from this location.

Signage now on site proclaim this project will be complete in Summer 2012. From the marketing website - "The Sawyer is a small collection of high-end condos priced to sell immediately... The pricing is incredibly affordable, so there are no plans for a show suite"

I seem to recall that new signage is up, but I'll need to swing by again and confirm.

Sorry, I haven't heard anything on this job in awhile. Last I heard was that Durwest had the contract, but that may have fallen thru.

I just registered with thecondogroup for info on this building as was informed it is "on hold" by Mike Janes. They are awaiting a zoning change and he believes that may take a while. He recommended me some other similar developments.
By the way, yes, I am a recent lurker and first time poster - great board for a first-time condo buyer and very interesting reads by all. Thanks for keeping this board up and running!

Welcome to VV, scoughman.
Can you confirm when the last time was that you had spoken to Mike Janes? This project may no longer be sold as condos, or maybe it will contain a combination of rental and market units now?

Times Colonist reported a few days ago that this project is being revived by Three Point, with Number 10 architects replacing Hillel as architects of record.

I'm pleased to report there is finally action here. The current plan is a six-storey wood frame tower with 59 rental units as well as the existing commercial streetfront.

Great news! I've walked by that sign on Fort St. so many times over the past few years thinking of how great it would look if it actually went ahead.
