The Entertainment District is getting a new condo.
To be launched in June, 8 Mercer at the northwest corner of Mercer and John and designed by
BBB Architects, will be 33 storeys and house 337 units ranging in size from 519 square feet to 1,786 square feet for a total of 265,000 extra square feet of residential space for the area. Prices will range from the mid-$300s to about $1.8 million.
"They've used a lot of brick in the fa�ade," says Richmond Hill-based developer
Beaverhall Homes spokesman Nestor Repetski of the BBB design. "It has very large terraces and substantial balconies, so it looks absolutely residential; some buildings, because of the balance of glass, you can't tell, Is it residential? Is it commercial?"
Beaverhall expects to begin construction on the building � the site is currently a parking lot � in the fall or early winter for a November, 2013 completion.
