BURLINGTON, ON
Burlington is a city, Oakville and Milton are towns.
The way people interact with each other in Burlington is more like a Village.
The award given each Burlington BEST recipient was designed and crafted by Teresa Seaton.
The city released the names of the nominees for Burlington’s BEST awards. Two of the people nominated for the Arts Award cannot stand each other; they are like oil and water. It is going to be interesting to see how that plays out in May.
At a public meeting Tuesday evening the Carriage Gate people told their story about the 27 storey tower they want to build across the street from city hall.
Robert Molinaro on the left – Nick Carnacelli on the right – their projects were compared at the public viewing of the Carriage Gate development Carnacelli wants to build opposite city hall.
Nick Carnacelli, top dog at Carriage Gate, was sitting beside Robert Molinaro while the Carriage Gate people were talking up their project.
The Molinaro’s are well into the construction of their five tower Paradigm development on Fairview next to the GO station and a decent jump away from Walmart.
The Molinaro’s are very proud of their project – it must have been dismaying for Robert Molinaro to hear the Carriage Gate people say that Paradigm is not a place where people are going to live – “they will just sleep there and take the GO train into work.”
The 183 unit Carriage Gate project will feature two and three bedroom units – a place where families will live – on Brant Street
We are a village.
Still, 1400 sq ft for a three bedroom? My mother’s condo is a two bedroom, and 1500 sq ft. Her two bedrooms are small.
Was there any discussion on the price for the 2 and 3 bedroom units?
Did anyone ask the question about the square footage of the units that will have 2 and 3 bedrooms? I have seen developers touting this and the condo is less than 1100 square feet. The rooms so small that one would call them a closet.
If you don’t ask the right questions you don’t get the right answers.
The overall average size stated at the meeting is 900 sq. ft. This is only an average though. The documents filed show 63 1 bedroom units @ 629 sq. ft., 93 2 bedroom units @ 1097 sq. ft., and 27 3 bedroom units @ 1417 sq. ft.
Without commenting on the merits or demerits of the application itself, I would say these overall sizes should be sufficient to have adequately spacious bedrooms.
