The Scott (59-65 Weber E) | 11 fl | Complete

[jeffster]

To the $19M construction cost you should add the value of the land -- maybe something in the range of $5M to $10M, at a rough guess. Plus development fees to the city/region, and commissions to the agents.

Not saying it's not profitable, but if it were THAT profitable there would be even more of a gold rush!

Right, I totally forgot about the land costs! Land isn't free, especially in DTK!

they're pouring a pretty big slab on the 5 of October weather dependant. Scott Street is going to be closed.

Is there commercial in this one? The Weber Street frontage looks like it could handle it well

[panamaniac]

I think there's a small (1,000 sqft) commercial space planned for the ground floor.

Wow, great progress over there

[mastermind]

Sure is close to those neighbours' back yards eh.

I was by this site yesterday, they are going with the preformed concrete. This will likely rise quickly...

That "brick" above the ground floor is not looking good ...

I assume that this is not the finished exterior cladding. if so you is not going to turn out nearly as nice as the render would suggest.

[panamaniac]

Where it has that fake brick texture, I'd assume that's the finished product, barring a coat of paint perhaps. Expectations should be kept low, I suspect.

Updated photos from today.

I wouldn't call this a "brick" or even a "fake brick" finish. This is really a tile (or possibly fake tile) finish on the precast modules, similar to the type fairly popular in Tokyo.

I was going to say that's one nasty piece of .... construction, but the textured cladding is a bit different, so I'll hold off until it's finished.
