Well... going around in circles aren't we? Again for the LAST TIME, this is strictly project specific & price sensitive. Yes needless to say there is a sea of lower income rental housing at D/J as well, but afterall I didn't pay $615 psf and up, at the Madison's price range it would be in direct...

mald1a: If you are willing to consider as far away as Mississauga then why not check out celebration conds at Warden/Finch. It's located right next to Bridewood mall, TTC access within paces away. One bedroom units at 479 sqf starting from $180K, so for your $250K budget you could end up...

Wow Taal 3 rounds of protracted rebuttals all within a single hour, you're getting desperate! I sense you probably live in the immediate area hence couldn't stand idly by while someone badmouths your hood, defending your position to the last keystroke as if any negatives I post here on Y/E...

Assignments are mostly unlisted, so you have to work with a broker to find out.

mald1ta: Think unit#1104 just became available for about $300K, its tower suite A 546 sqf. contact your broker or Sunny if interested.

But why? It's located in a sea of lower income rental properties. There are no yorkville like high end designer boutiques, no premium hotels, no major entertainment venue, not even a decent restaurant to be found @ that corner. Riocan centre was the only attraction til recently. Maybe it was...

This discussion all started when someone posted: to which I find questionable, again most new precons are sold to investors, I was simply alluding to the fact that on a strictly investment perspective, at $615 psf. & $0.54/sf maintenace. there are simply many more viable downtown core...

Overall I don't believe Y/E can be classified as an upscale or an substantially affluent area considering the high concentration of purposefully built older rental apts & co-ops around, unlike NYCC there aren't even any premium hotels, lack of major entertainment venues, ie Centre for the...

I agree with you in certain aspects but ever wonder why there is so little new construction at Y/E, while a glut of projects are going up downtown, somehow the prices just continues to shoot up regardless? Maybe this comes down to simple down supply/demand equation, the demand for downtown...

bit of a space age aficionado I see, humm you probably love the fins on a 59 caddy, glad that went the way of the dodo, to each his own I say...

CDR I was referrring to Pre-cons in the entertainment district ie. Peter Street Condos at $600-$650, Even Cinema Towers starting at around $680, right next to TIFF light box are both new releases with lower maintenance than the Madison, location wise this area has the makings of the next...

Wow starting at $615? that's almost downtown core prices, maintenance is even higher than some prime downtown addresses. Face it nowadays 50% plus all pre-con units are sold to investors, wondering how many would payup for a midtown location at downtown prices with zippo chance of turning a...

Ok, this illustration along with GG's published final rendering in the Newcondos Guide attest to the omission of the color panels. My broker buddy confirms it, but then again everything could be changed at the last min. Never insinuated the hatred for these to be universially shared, it's...

wut?wut? X2 would not have any of these whimsical color strips on the exterior black cladding, they definitely takes away from the beauty.

not sure why architects think the random assortment of strips of bright colours or slits of windows now counts as articulation. Everyone frickin does it. So lazy. Glad GG dropped it for X2

What's with this recent fascination over multicolored panels/windows on new condos? These architectural fads won't age well, think of the space age design trends on those 60's apts, they look absolutely hideous to the modern eye. even GG has done away with the color elements on X2. Good luck...

Thanks Solaris, went over to the sales office, but the agent there was no help, just gave me a blank stare saying is preliminary and pointed to the building model which wasn't around when I made my purchase. By the looks of the model I say I am gonna have to live with these dreaded spandrels...

Having never lived or purchased a condo before, sorry for sounding ignorant, just wondering what's behind all that blue/gray spandrel?? on the inside of the unit it is going to look like any other interior wall? ok for hanging pictures etc? or like frosted glass which one can't see through...

There are only 4 units bachelor units in the entire building, those were the only ones priced under $250k, they grabbed up by insiders on the first day of release back in april, the few remaining units now all starts above $300K. psf $550-$620 range Floor plans...

Yeah, I am sorry this eyesore is so hideously hong kongish, I don't even know where to begin. Mounting an exterior AC unit right next to each window would complete this hong kong effect. What a horror show, maybe Henderson is trying to cozy up to the mainland and hongkong investors by making it...
