Well, the price list said studio starting at 289.9k. There are only 2 studio floor plans. One is 385sqft the other 400. Starting from usually implies it's for the smallest unit in that category 289.9k / 385 = $753/sqft. It's the most expensive unit on a per sqft basis.

There was a steady stream of people - catered snacks (charcuterie board) from Vincenzos, Four All ice cream, Monogram coffee and a choice of beer and wine. I'm guessing with proximity to the Ion and future transportation hub, GO and Via, this wouldn't be a horrible deal. In this case, no need for a car.

Worth a 50%+ premium over Arrow Lofts?

And them building a palm tree shaped man-made island in 5-6 years was also a "pipe dream". The first phase which is 10km long set to open in time for Expo 2020, has already begun construction. But sure, lets take arm chair engineers from kitchener who haven't seen the construction of it, over idk, a city that has done things that were once considered "pipe dreams". Makes complete sense.

And "I" am replying to your snarky comment that is baseless and without faces and 100% opinionated. And no it's not really a test track because it will be commercially available for people to use by the time of 2020 expo. So again, false claims with no evidential basis to back it up.

I was responding to Momo26, who said “The hyper loop looks scrapped all together under the ford government government”. The main point I was making was that Ford may have cancelled High Speed Rail, which was in the early stages of possibly going somewhere under the previous government, but Ford definitely hasn’t cancelled HyperLoop, which to my knowledge has not been even semi-seriously discussed here in Ontario. I threw in a snarky comment, which I believe will be proven correct, about HyperLoop, but the main point was about confusion between HSR and HyperLoop. The Seattle Monorail is also commercially available for people to use, it is also a test track. You seem very defensive about this...I'm not sure why.

Get back to me when I can fly to Dubai, buy a ticket, and ride in a HyperLoop which is long enough for them to have to have figured out the thermal expansion issue with the pipe. That’s not a 10km test track. Which I also don’t expect to be opening to the general public in the next year, but maybe I’ll be wrong about that.

Messing around with more airport capacity is crazy when we still have people flying over short distances. Leave the flying for the long distance trips. The only quibble I would make is that we don’t necessarily need real HSR; a reliable GO train that tops out at 150km/h would be so much faster than the existing service that it would attract enormously more ridership. Although it’s easy for me to say that as a Waterloo Region resident; GO is no help for Londoners. London is enough further away from Toronto than Waterloo that the HSR would really shine. GO Transit's MP54 locomotives can do 180 km/h and VIA Rail's upcoming SC-44 can do 200 km/h. With proper track and crossings we could easily have 45-minute service from Kitchener to Union Station, and 90-minute service from London. HSR would not be required -- but track improvements would be.

Those speeds are near what I would call HSR, even though I know it’s well below the speeds of the super-fast trains in Europe, Japan, and China. Especially for the short distances between Waterloo and Toronto, there is no need to go much faster — 45 minutes Kitchener to Union Station would easily outpace any bus or airplane, when considered in the context of the whole trip. |
