Today we’re buzzing with Graham Snowden, a project director at Rennie, and one heck of an athlete. In addition to his awesome work at one of Vancouver’s top real estate companies, Graham has raised thousands of dollars for charities while embarking on some pretty crazy adventures including The Big Five marathon in South Africa and a self-sustained foot race through Nepal. We chat with him all about Vancouver real estate, what keeps him inspired and motivated, and how you can get … Read More
Because sometimes one crane isn’t enough, the construction crew working on Pinnacle on Adelaide have erected a second crane to help get the job done. Talk about doubling your efforts! Pinnacle International‘s 43 storey tower is currently under construction at Adelaide and John. The estimated time of completion is 2013, so we’re guessing this second crane is going to help them attain this lofty goal.
We blogged about the Walnut Studios Spring Renewal Art Show and Sale back in April and suggested that anyone suffering from “bare wall syndrome” mark the date down (Saturday, May 12) on their calendar. Did you forget to jot down the date? Is this your first time hearing about it? If your answer is yes to either question, worry not! We’re here to remind you why this event is well worth attending if you’re an art lover, local culture connoisseurs … Read More
When it comes to areas for innovation in the real estate world, the purchasing process doesn’t immediately jump to mind as a compelling area to pursue. But when you think about it, there are a lot of reasons to pay more attention to the process. Often the success of a project is judged by how many people pack into the sales centre on opening day. This makes for great publicity and photo ops, but it’s not too enjoyable for the … Read More
With so many hot projects popping up in Calgary lately, it’s hard to pick a favourite. But Next by Bucci Group is definitely charming us with its smart floor plans and affordable pricing. The four-storey wood frame development has two fitness rooms, a landscaped courtyard with stellar views, and a dog washing station. But don’t think that just because it’s a wood-frame building that you’ll be listening to noisy neighbours all the time.
A couple weeks back we wrote about Local at Fort York’s enviable location in the up-and-coming Fort York neighbourhood. It’s certainly a great spot with a ton of features that are being developed (pedestrian bridges; Loblaws; even an underground tunnel!). Although Local is in a location so nice you could say it thrice, this isn’t the only big draw that it’s boasting. Local is the third project in Onni‘s four phase master-planned community.
TAO Condos, the new Richmond Hill development by SigNature Communities, pushed the envelope when they brought on a Feng Shui master to advise them during the design process. The same envelope was given a second shove when TAO released their awesome interactive YouTube video that showed viewers the many versions of tranquility they could experience living there. It looks like TAO are envelope bullies, but we’re totally into it because they’re back pushing the envelope with their new “Traveling Condo … Read More
Fresh stats from Statistics Canada are spelling out great news for Calgary’s residential sector! The value of building permits in March is significantly higher than in previous years. Permits for the month were $457.7 million in the Calgary census metropolitan area. That’s an increase of 33.3 per cent from March 2011. Things were looking good for all of Alberta, with permits totaling $1.2 billion, an annual gain of 37.5 per cent. Residential numbers were up to $698.3 million, an increase … Read More
Nothing beats the smell of fresh renderings in the morning and it just so happens that today was one of those unbeatable mornings. New renderings arrived from IT Lofts, the new Worsley Urban Partners project in Little Italy. A little bird also gave us the word that there’s a preview for registrants this weekend (May 12). Those interested must call 416 690 0101 to book an appointment. When it comes to previewing IT Lofts, no one has had a “first … Read More
Every now and then a new development comes along and knocks our socks off with its standout design. HILLCREST by MOSAIC is the latest project to grab our attention with its bright blue and natural cedar shakes. And we aren’t the only ones noticing, because HILLCREST townhomes are selling super fast, thanks to their hot looks, and even hotter location in South Clayton. South Clayton is a well-established quiet area that’s still close to the hub of Surrey. There are … Read More
