Pardon the obvious pun behind this post's title, but it fits quite well with the ever-so-punny "Six in the City" marketing campaign that's being used to promote the Metroliving project.
Actually, the use of a single brand to market six scattered buildings is quite clever, since it brings everything together into one convenient and easy-to-understand package.
So far, three of the six Metroliving projects have already been rolled out (1180 Homer, 1168 Richards, and 531 Beatty), with plans for 540 Beatty set to be unveiled in September. Further details on 999 Seymour and 1241 Homer will be released at a later date.
Construction at 1168 Richards is already well underway (pictured above), while the 1180 Homer site (below) is also in the midst of going up. In the case of the latter, the facade of the old McMaster heritage building has been maintained, although the rest of the building will be completely new.
A similar restoration will occur at 540 Beatty, while the other four sites will see completely new structures built.
In regards to the number of new suites that are being constructed, 1168 Richards will have 12 lofts, and 1180 Homer will add another 15 lofts to the Yaletown neighborhood. Over towards Gastown, 531 Beatty is set to have 38 new lofts.
So what's the memorable catch that's got people talking? How about garage-style window walls? Put a Harley in the middle of your living room, and you too can shake off that metrosexual stigma before your friends can say "gentle cleansing and exfoliation".
