more pictures Some pictures I got from internet. Obviously they were taken before Casaguy's crane ones....

I think Alvar made a good point. It makes a lot of sense to say influx immigrants drove the rent up, but i am hardpressed to believe they have immediate influence on the price of the new homes.

Thanks for the great pictures, Casaguy and Mike. It is quite hopeful to see the crane has finally being erected, although the builder just annnouced the project is going to delay for another year until 2010.

Neither of the two ladies you posted. It's a girl much younger than them. It's clearly a rumor which we should dismiss... But She did surprise me when she presented me the price list of 300 Front. The unit with 800 sqt plus in 30th floor selling like $590K, parking for additional$35K. This is...

Yes, she is. She is a sales agent from Tridel 300 front. What a funny name, It reminds me of Meet the Spartans:)....Anyway, when she boast 300 is one of the best high rise condo in downtown toronto, I mentioned 1Bloor East. She almost immediately dismissed my comments by saying 1Bloor project...

True of False? A Tridel agent told me last Saturday that the 1 Bloor project has been cancelled because they cannot get the permit from City. All the money collected as deposit will be refunded. Is this ture? I haven't followed this thread for a while. Could someone help to clarify?

It indeed looks amazing. What kind of cam you used? I wonder when they plan to erect a crane?

Any updates with this project, Mike and Redroom? Your inputs much appreciated.

so you are saying as long as Uptown chose a less densely constructed location, you will consider it as the best?

Uptown has a taste of sophisication of Woolworth building in NY, plus its location, it will be one of the landmark in downtown TO. Maybe its high than normal pricing has deterred some of average joe buyers, but i definitely don't understand what are the selling points of Aura and 1Bloor. What...

I couldn't agree with you more. Uptown is definitely the most elegant/sophisticated building in this five-year construction boom, including the high end ones, such as Four Seasons, Shangrila and Riz Carlton. Don't your guys agree?

It's true CASA has generous balconies and is situated at a superable location, a true Yorkville neighbourhood. The design is simple, but quite practical. I like 2-bed with 1-bathroom layout, and 1-bedroom in corner choice. You won't find these type of designs anywhere else. But it still couldn't...

I guess we all have to agree the architect did a good job for Uptown. Its design so far has been the best, from both internal suite layout and external building structure perspectives. It has outshined many of the current buildings in construction. I do not understand why other developers did...

I am not quite get it. Conrad. What do you mean by "Except that its Pemberton developing this project." Can you give us two example of Pemberton deliver substandard product? like which one? I am not against you, just being curious of the fact...thanks

question! How many months you have to pay the "rent" before the title transferred? They shouldn't force us to rent from them at a pre-determined high rent price. It doesn't seem to be fair.
