Maybe I should clarify~ I know that Bazis Internation is the Developer, but who is the actual construction company building CrystalBlu? For instance, PCL was suppose to be the construction company for 1 Bloor... which company is actually building CrystalBlu?

Hey~ anyone know who the builder for this project is?

I just heard some bad news for 1 Bloor... my friend who works for PCL (builder for 1 Bloor) said that PCL have pulled away from the project and will no longer will be building... 1 Bloor is in demolition without a builder to build... Apparently Bazis did not wanted to spend the money...

Good thing I'm not Chinese...

Actually the agreement and the condo doc says that the address will be 11 Bogert Ave. The entrance will be on Bogert and not on Poyntz.

Well~ I was reading the condo document last night and saw couple of things that bothered me. 1. It looks like there is an interim occupancy fee (I was lied to) 2. Proposed date for completion of amenities is Summer of 2012 (commence construction in the fall of 2011). Hence, no amenities...

Before looking into Emerald, I went to the condo right beside Promenade mall... i forgot the name of the condo... but it was right beside the mall on Centre & Bathurst across from T&T... when I asked them the same question, they said they were going for 1 closing as well... so I thought it was...

Is the occupancy fee usually told up front? or would I find out later? as well, has there ever been buildings that had zero occupancy fee?

Hey thanks~ Talking about lawyers... anyone know a good and cheap lawyer to look over my stuff? Another question... The sales people said that there will only be 1 closing at the time of moving in. From my past experience of buying my previous condo, I had to move in then pay "rent" until...

I see... but does that mean there is a possibility that the city won't approve and that this project could be thrown out? If that could be the case and taking that as the worst case, what would happen to the owners who have already bought a unit?

What was the case for 1 Bloor? Did Bazis have the approvals?

But how could one start selling anything without the pre approval? Even to put up a sign like they did, don't they need an approval?

Hey thanks~ that's some good info. It appears that you have the inside information on a lot of the topics. Your info is appreciated. Thanks.

As long as it is built, I'll be happy... I tried calling Mark, but he is out of the office till August 18th... i guess the guessing game continues... however, Bazis must have something or knows that this will be eventually built is my guess.. or else it would be one of the biggest scam in TO...

No BBQ in Terrace So I was reading my agreement paper after my purchase and found out that there is no Cooking/BBQ on the Terrace/Balcony. Lived in a condo before, I knew about the Balcony, but I thought having a Terrace would allow me to cook outside. What good is having a 350 sq. ft. of...

I was talking with the sales rep lady (May - she's very straight forward and insightful I thought). According to her, Bazis have applied to add 9 storeys to each building but are expecting to make a deal to add 5 in the end. From the city, they are asking Bazis to donate some of his site land...

Thank you. Tentative completion date is Novemberm 2011. However, longer it takes to be built the better for me... just more time to save up a bit :)

Advantage vs. Disadvantage: Well~ my thoughts on this was this. Advantages of 4th floor: 1. The amentities are just out side of my door (literally) 2. Close to parking (not a lot of stopping of elevator) 3. My side (west building) is on top of the office complex (not retail) so it should be...

No~ $18000 parking + $3500 for locker on top

Thanks~ however, it's not the people who actually bought the place that I'm worried about but those that'll be renting and have no vested interest. But like you say, we can only hope for the best. BTW, I don't know if it's true or not but asking the sales people they said the friends and...
