Looks like the crane is going to be installed tomorrow (22nd). I live across the st at the Vu and there's notices that george st will be closed from 7am - 7pm for a crane company.

So they're on floor 2 last time I checked. But whats weird is I have yet to get a call for the upgrade / colour selection. Does anyone else find that strange?

Just got an updated letter stating tentative occupancy for Feb 15, 2013. Is it weird to not have had my upgrade meeting yet?

Just for reference the YTD price change according to Terant is 0.07% so basically flat YoY. Now thats only 2 months worth of data but the big markets are showing MoM weakness. Vancouver is down 0.58% YTD while Toronto is up 0.60%. http://www.housepriceindex.ca/Default.aspx

I spoke with the builder today. They're going to start calling for appointments towards the end of July.

I'm not sure if anyone posting in this thread is actually a purchaser but has anyone heard anything about upgrade selection yet?

You really think 7 weeks to do the grade level floor? I was thinking 2 weeks maybe 3 tops based on their current pace. Is there anything special that would require the additional 5 weeks?

I would imagine this is causing some delays in the interior construction schedule. I don't think I've ever seen one this tall without at least 10-20 floors of cladding done

Was in the hood last night:

They're moving at a good clip. This weather seems to have helped them catch up a bit. Based on their current pace I'd say 8-9 weeks until they're level with bloor. It'll be interesting to see what pace the move at once they're above ground level. I could see this topping out around the end of...

I think this building is going to have problems getting its permits. This will be an OMB decision.

I say this because if you look at Freeds track record almost all of their buildings have been in the club district. I think they're trying to replicate that success east of yonge. If they instead looked at the demographic in the st lawrence market and built mostly 1 and 2 bedroom units they'd...

I didn't expect all 2 and 3 bedroom units but 1/3 of the building as studio sounds too hotely for my liking. Take a look down the st at the success of the Berczy. Sold out by opening weekend. Most of the units are 2 bedrooms or more. I think Freed is doing a massive dis-service to this...

From Sunday March 25th with a BB:

Did anyone else notice the number of studio units? I did a quick count and came up with 87. That's almost 1/3 of the building. Just awful.

I was by the tie again yesterday picking up my bike from my mechanic next door. They're really moving now. Looks like the pace is a half floor in the garage every 10-14 days. The should hot ground level at the ally side towards the end of April and on the bloor side end of may or beginning of...

Thanks for the advice about the switches. I'll add that to my list to ensure it happens. The feedback I keep getting is the classic: "A 2 bedroom has better resale than a 1". I just think that there's a huge gap in the market of large 1 bedroom units out there (This one will be 1,033 sq...

So I've purchased the following unit at "The Address at High park" Its a pretty standard bowling alley layout for a 2+1 but I'm thinking of making a couple of adjustments to the layout to take advantage of the space. Both of these have already been approved by the builder I just have to...

I went by the site on the weekend. I didn't take any pics but the east side has the 1st floor poured and the west side looked a week or 2 away from being done. Assuming our non-winter holds my guess is they'll keep up with a 1 floor / month pace in the underground which would bring them back to...

You're right. I just calculated the cost of selling. I mis read and thought that's what he was asking
