Striking headline, isn’t it? You better sit down for this one. Imagine a private, for profit organization better known for household furniture (easily identifiable household furniture, I might add) getting in on the housing game. That’s not difficult is it? Now imagine that this mega-corp had a deeply passionate corporate philosophy […]

MoDE has been completed, save some final touch ups and is being moved into. If you have been looking at pre-sales but also have reservations in light of some recent developments then maybe you should look at MoDE. Located at the corner of Smithe and Richards, across from the Dolce Vita project, MoDE […]

Oh boy!  Another development two actually) goes into receivership.  Chandler Developments H+H (downtown Vancouver) and Garden City (Richmond) have run out of money and will be taken over by the becoming ubiquitous Bowra Group (who just took over Sofia).
Not good news… but not entirely unexpected.  I am not going to focus on the failure […]

The Sophia, a project by The Eden Group has been canceled with 85% completed. What? Yup. This is a mess. It’s not the first project canceled by this developer, nor the first project canceled near completion, but it is surprising to see a relatively medium-sized project in such a high demand […]

The lions are two towering buildings that add a bit of flair to the entry level building. Not only is the design a standout with a splash of colour (ok, yellow) running up the side but the amenities for the two towers are second to none. You have your media room, 3000 Sq.ft. […]

Some of you (about 25%) are, shock, still using Internet Explorer 6 or earlier. If you are doing so then you are missing out on some great functions of this site. In testing we found that IE6 was breaking some elements. I am very pleased to say that more people visiting this site are using […]

This is a great video produced by VANOC (the Vancouver Olympic Committee) to promote the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is pure brilliance and those who directed it deserve an award. There is not a single element missing from the whole production. It starts off with montages of Vancouver and […]
