Downtown Vancouver Condo Project Update: Gastown Woodwards Condominium Residences Complete! Both W43 and W32 High-Rise Towers Finishing Summer 2009!
BREAKING NEWS: The much anticipated Gastown Woodwards Condo District development is reaching completion! The W43 Woodwards condominiums will be completing between late July and mid August. The W32 Condos at Woodwards Gastown real estate development will be ready for occupancy shortly afterwords.
Update from June 2009: The Gastown real estate redevelopment of Woodwards Condominium Tower Residences is perhaps the most significant mixed-use property development project to be undertaken in Vancouver downtown ever. In a few short weeks you will bring Woodward's Gastown condo homes to life and become part of its community! After years of neglect and uncertainty over its future, the Woodward's Gastown real estate condominium redevelopment is now weeks from opening and the beginning of a new era for this historic Gastown site. The downtown Vancouver Woodward's redevelopment is approximately 1,000,000 square feet consisting of major retailers (London Drugs, Nesters and TD Bank), office space, 536 new Gastown homes for sale and 200 non-market downtown Vancouver condominium residential units. Simon Fraser University has demonstrated its enthusiasm for the community and their conviction to the project with their commitment to a 120,000 square feet SFU School for the Contemporary Arts. We are estimating completion for Woodwares tower W43 (128 W. Cordova St) to be in June 2009 and for Gastown Vancouver Woodwards tower W32 (108 W. Cordova St.) to be in July/August 2009. What you should look out for in the upcoming weeks are: Lawyer selection correspondence, walk-through scheduling, and Woodwards condo closing notices.
