Earlier, when UT had first reported that Canderel is planning to/has applied for variance to add 3 additional floors, 'rumour' was denied by none other than vice-president, Marketing -- Mr. Riz Dhanji. Perhaps, someone with contacts with the 'insiders' could look into this.

Interested, Thanks for your response. The blog, to which you have posted a link is dated December 2007. I should have clarified in my earlier post that the purchase agreement that I had signed for the current unit was signed in November 2001. Perhaps, the law/regulations were different...

Hi Guys, A question for any one to answer -- perhaps, by R/E agents. The question is about interest on the deposit to the builder. I had paid 20% deposit to the developer's lawyers-- in 4 equal quarterly installments -- when I signed the purchase agreement for the unit I now live in...

Interested, I am, by nature, an incorrigible optimist. That's the reason I am in life where I am now. You have to look at the individual and the background from where that individual comes. I am a graduate of the 'school of hard knocks'. I was not even a fully developed 'spring chicken'...

CDR 108, no, I don't have to camp out to watch AURA rise. I live in RoCP1. One of the rooms I have converted to the office. From the window, I can see each bucket of concrete going up. Main reason for not making a post is that I am involed in serious discussions with Porter Airlines. I take...

Hi folks, A good news and a sad news. First the good news. I am back. Now the sad news. I am back only for a short while -- just to answer some of your posts. I plan to go back to my hiatus. To start with, I am really touched with your posts asking about my whereabouts. As I had...

Locker area is a separate room. Entry is by key. Then, each and every locker has its own door and a lock. That's all the security one has it. Needless to say that entry into the condo building itself is restricted. At times, someone had stored stuff in an abandoned locker that did not belong to...

Exodus, my locker is appx 5x5x6.5. No, Canderel did not quote either the size or the location of the locker -- just the amount. Locker is not only desirable for resale purposes, but also for storing clutter. Locker is like a cage. One can see what is stored in the locker. In the locker...

Get a locker before they are gone. As you have said, it will be relatively easy to sell the unit. Some of the 1+1 units have a locker built in -- a closet space, as someone had posted. That individual was not allowed to purchase a unit at the time of signing the deal and was asked to wait for...

Sorry for causing confusion. Original post was that '.. I wish they had some serious restaurants patios facing Yonge Street ...'. The link posted earlier was a reference to the 'planters' constructed on 5th floor. I have pasted another link below showing restaurant(s) on 5th floor with...

Another Murano/Burano?

Thanks, some MidTowner. Greatly appreciate you posting this stunning picture.

Wooba, I have been called things worst than 'troll'. Considering the source, you learn to ignore these type of comments. However, your comments are another matter. They are well taken. I am going to take hiatus for sometime -- few days/week and come back, as you have described, '..a...

It seems that they teach different economics at U of T, where I went to, than in other universities, perhaps, like Windsor. You don't need income to be able to afford a condo or a house in Toronto. You need money, your parents money or foreign money from places like Vancouver. You seem to...

For a change, what a breath of fresh, fragrant air :)

Considering the source, I am going to completely ignore your post with the contempt it deserves. Beyond that, I would like to quote Buddha. If you spit at the moon, you are going to deface your own face.:)

Caltran74, thanks for the nice pictures. Please keep them coming.

My (bleeding) heart goes out to Doom and Gloom sayers who stayed on the sidelines during this period and lost golden opportunities to make bundle of money.:) Well, as they say, there will be another day and another opportunity somewhere over the rainbow.
