I would like to thank Grant Sorensen, who recently stumbled across our blog. Grant, who shares my interest in all the development that is occurring around the city, pointed out that our blog post titled, “Vancouver Condos Recently Completed, Under Construction or Proposed” is in need of updating. The Orpheum Condominiums Project, 833 Seymour Street is now known as Capitol Residences, www.capitolresidences.com. He also pointed out a development that I overlooked, Atelier on Robson.

Grant also suggested I look at a new development in Dubai. The Burj Dubai has been under construction since April, 2005. Its final height is officially being kept a secret due to competition; however, rumours suggest that the final height will exceed 800 metres (2600 feet) and the total number of liveable floors is expected to be 162. I was able to find a 1100 square foot unit for sale for 2500000AED, which amounts to just over $800000 CAN. That seems to be quite a bargain in comparison to downtown condo prices here in Vancouver. If you are interested in purchasing a unit in the building, check out the official website, www.burjdubai.com for more information.
