It feels closer every day.
The stairs down to the lower level of HM and on to the light rail look great, and it would be splendid if a cafe sets up in the retail space so we can sit out on the attractive terrace sipping on strong coffee and eating cannelloni.
The front entrance is also a stylish place, with the mailboxes on the right hand side.
And here is the first photo we've posted of the finished front driveway, with the car park entrance on the right hand side.
But for those who are viewing their apartments next week, here's a reality check. While the apartments are finished, there are still parts of the building that need work and I expect tradesmen will be onsite for a while. Here's an example of the unfinished 'retail' space - no cafe going in there for a while.
And the garden in the south-east corner is a mess and will remain so for a while because it is not part of Ceerose's responsibility. It looks like the garden should be part of HM but it is actually the property of the Roads & Maritime Services. More on that later ... just warning everyone that when you come to inspect, don't expect the entire place, gardens and all, to be finished.
Looking pretty sleek from the outside. Thanks for the pictures and the warning. Some thoughts for consideration:
ReplyDeleteA) should we lodge some kind of petition to the rms/council to clean up the south eastern garden and ensure there are no cars abandoned under the highway?
B) same as above regarding noise barriers installation, same as was done on other parts of the western distributor around the area
C) when everyone inspects their apartments next week - please share your comments/ views if you don't mind
Cheers
A) not only the cars - some cars are from workers but most of them just free loader, dont understand why ranger never book this area. and someone setup a temp shelter / tent there looks creepy.
DeleteB) i could really use this , one of my window is facing that distributor and people drive by could see through my window. but which authority should we send petition to??
Thanks guys, wondering if everyone has list of things to look for
ReplyDeleteRe- abandon cars - I don't think the cars that park there are abandoned - I only noticed the one vehicle that appears to be a home for someone. The other cars simply park there - (most Likely have been doing so for years to avoid paying for parking)
ReplyDeleteI think in due course we will understand our surrounding area a little more once we have moved in.
Yet having said that it's great to see how passionate Elena is - I think I can already tell we will have a good harbourmill community.
As for what to note at the inspections - there probably is a check list - but this will vary from owner to owner.
My check list will be simple. To check off what I was promised in my contract.
Unless it's a major fault to the entire building we will still have time to address minor issues three months after we have settled.
Of course this is just me - each and everyone of you may see it slightly different.
See you all on the flip side.
