No problem man!

We still need to talk about SEO/mobile APPS/ Google Android/ Apple / RIM/ Windows 7
Advertising etc, etc, etc.

Plus I want you to tell me about your side business, cause I have a few commission checks that I will need to invest coming this week, and next month.

This one could be under construction by the end of the year. No word yet on a Hotel to manage the property for disco boy.

Looks like construction on the Bisha Hotel could start this year.

It's 42 floors I believe.

Many forumers over at UT were complaining about the gaudy interiors. I think the interiors are pretty cool and reflect the sheer excitement of the entertainment district.
NBA stars don't call us White Vegas for nothing!

White Vegas? That the first time I've heard that one.

looks like you were wrong about slow sales...

caltrane74 · #28 Posted **Jul 5, 2011, 3:09 PM**

oh, ok.. I guess I was ?

caltrane74 · #29 Posted **Sep 12, 2011, 7:05 PM**

urbandreamer said this one might start early 2012 - I had read something regarding a fall 2011 start, from the developer.

Either way its all good.

^^ Thanks for all the updates Cal

..Just when I thought this project couldn't get any more swagurious

This building will be " Party Central " in more ways than one when it's up and running.

Looking for a construction start this spring.

yaletown_fella · #33 Posted **Nov 26, 2011, 5:31 PM**

That's a pretty reasonable start date.

Bisha sounds ok but I think they should change the name to " Playboy Sky Palace "

Just my 2 cents...

Street Smarts: T.O. Entertainment District redux

According to Urbanation, the fourth quarter of 2011 saw 13 projects with 5,377 units under construction in the Entertainment District, 10 projects (3,529 units) under construction and marketing, and another 18 applications (7,011 units) proposed. The numbers of projects is slightly up compared to the end of 2010 though the 2011 projects boast substantially more units. Under-construction projects grew by 34% (1,350 units) annually while applications grew by 21% and 1,209 units year-over-year.

Besides the influx of full-time residents, the residential construction will also add a new lineup of stores, restaurants and services that will add tremendous value to the ’hood.

“When all of the development is completed — though I don’t think it will ever be fully completed because it’s an ongoing thing — the good thing is our streets will be aligned with a lot of great at-grade retail opportunity, which for us is huge about that sort of pedestrian experience, that experience on the street,” says Janice Solomon, executive director of the Entertainment District BIA. “What do the local businesses and residents and visitors to the area feel when they come into this area? We’d really like to see a lot of vibrancy, a lot of retail, a lot of activity on the street. The vision for the John Street Cultural Corridor is the best of all of it.”

A quick walk through the neighbourhood reveals there are plenty of places to put down your hat. Turn the page for a sampling of what’s available.

Walked by the site of so many of the clubland condos. These were places and memories of my youth.

No other city had clubland, sad times. But it must be done for the city to progress.

Still seeing all those clubs in rubble, breaks my heart.

Bisha sales centre is shutting down.

Construction is beginning!

Yay!
