REFLECTIONS SUBSEQUENT TO STARLIGHT GROUP ANNOUNCEMENT OF 89-UNIT PROPOSAL
GOODACRES UNITS 350 - 360 DOUGLAS STREET
Starlight Group On June 21st, 2022 Has Proposed To Construct An Additional Circa 89 – Unit Structure On This Goodacre Lot That Currently Houses 14-Floor Twin Towers – With Outdoor Pool Provisions. These Existing Towers Were Constructed In Circa 1960’s; With Periodic Upgrades. The Years 2014 – 2017 Saw Starlight’s Strategies Through “Renoviction” Actions To Increase Rent Costs By Changing Balcony Railings / Frontal Landscaping / Lobby Renovation. During This Stage Of Upheaval There Were Several Tenant RTB (Residential Tenancy Board) Appeal Applications To The Issued Evictions. Several Tenant Appeals Argued Intentional Corruption By The Prevailing Property Management Company (Larlyn). In The Intervening Years, Devon Property Management Has Replaced Larlyn. And, These Twin Towers Have Seen Resident Management Services Cut By 50%. Tenant Services – Like The Community Room – Were Boarded Up; Plus, The Pool Was Closed For Several Months.
It Has Become Quite Apparent By The Tenant Commentaries At The Two June 21ST Info Meetings Hosted By Starlight That There Are Numerous Lingering Alarms Being Expressed Regarding The Continued Reduction Of Services – Parking Interruptions / Loss; Construction Noise / Construction Dust Entering The Twin Towers Suites Due To The Failed Starlight Duty To Replace Deficient Windows Throughout The Buildings.
Tenants Have Published A “Tenant Impact Mitigation Plan” (TIMP) Draft – As Recommended Through The Information Floor Discussions. And, GATTTA Is Ensuring That The James Bay Neighbourhood Association (JBNA); City Hall Council & Relevant Services (Community Planning; Business Licence Issuance; Project Planning); MPs & MLAs Are Kept In The Loop.
