What are these things on the top of the hotel building? Are these industrial fans? Do they make big noise? View attachment 608227

cooling towers - for air conditioning. Not that loud unless super close.

They got some deals for the unsold units.

You can pick up 2 beds for as low as $579K - they're about 700 SF

Complete?

So close, just a couple pieces of construction fencing still up. Today:

I'd rather bring my own bags up than deal with this bellhop:

What r those houses going to be?

^Live/work townhouses that will likely have resto/café uses on the patio level.

I passed by the Riu Plaza a couple days ago. The lobby was buzzing, hotel must be popular.

Do you know how square footage is calculated in these condo units? The difference seems to be around 100 sq ft or more between livable space and the stated area?

Taken November 29th. The fencing is now down on the rowhouses.

Thanks! I see at least 5 cozy cafés/restos here. Someone is going to be very busy; I hope that they have enough different tights!

They're live-work units, not retail.

^You are correct, however I’m speculating that 1) live-work is going to be very loosely interpreted and 2) applications will be forthcoming to take the next logical step to obvious uses.

Someone has over 100, so there's no lack of coverage forthcoming, I suspect

I wish the sidewalk had been done in pavers; and that the street parking was eliminated in favour of additional pedestrian/green space.

The road also needs resurfacing. This stretch looks dinky and shabby at the moment.
