So which condo-marketing website boasts the best tunes? To sample two samples, check out www.themelville.ca and www.liveattheritz.com.
Both websites offer soothing music set to soft drum beats, evidently designed to turn online browsers into offline buyers. The Melville's DJ seems to have gone with a delicate piano number, while the Ritz's has a richer symphonic sound. No word on whether this is the same elevator music that will eventually drive each building's residents crazy.
At 43 storeys/464 ft (left picture), the Melville will be the taller of the two buildings when it's completed in 2006.
The Ritz is also scheduled for completion next year, although it will come in at a smaller 33 storeys (369 ft).
As a result of this early DJ rivalry, it is widely believed that residents of the two buildings will inevitably become natural enemies, since the two structures are situated across from one another on Bute Street.
On the one side - people who desire a vibrant urban lifestyle. On the other - people who desire an urban lifestyle that is vibrant.
