A sales agent on Jan. 27 told me that the sales office at 590 Jarvis will close at the end of March and relocated to 18 Yorkville. It will include a one bedroom model suite (the present sales office has a 1 bedroom + den).
Demolition takes place April through June, followed by excavation of a 6-storey parking garage. Barring any difficulties such as encountering a stream which delayed the Radio City development, the condo should be at grade by this time next year. This gives roughly 2 years to complete the 44 storey building for occupancy by December, 2009.
Unlike Tridel (Verve), Minto (Quantum 2), Aspen Ridge (VU) and TAS (M5V), Great Gulf has not announced any energy-efficient features, such as low-e windows.
Roughly 120 units remain unsold, based on an "availability chart" mounted on the wall beside the model of the building.
