You're paying for that 10% benefits. You're paying for the 30% pension. You're paying for the 10% health plan. You're paying for them to work at 50% efficiency. Do you hire a contractor at 50% higher cost to do 50% less productive? Every percentage matters when they are being paid by us...

From my understanding bell makes most of it's money off of business lines. That's why they could give 2 figs about the normal consumer. This is odd to me though as some of those consumers work for businesses that have to make decisions about phone connections, internet, etc. If you created...

There's spaces under 38 The Esplanade. Sorry I don't know the rates off hand but it's also a particular area too... not super high in foot traffic if that's what you need. It's close to the Sony centre and Kensington market. It's probably more affordable then high flow traffic areas...

I'll try and snap a few pics of some of the new treatments they've added.

Everyone has different tastes :)

I have to disagree with this on the basis that mortgage rates can't go any lower and since they will change they can only go up. You are pretty much guaranteed that a variable will go above the 3.69 in five years and for at least 3 of them and I would bet on 4. This is one of those times that...

I actually really like it... the mailroom looked really bland before and it makes the mailboxes themselves stand out even more.

They said August but I'm betting September / October. When we bought in the second week of sales it was going for $320 psf approx.

That's actually not the point... Bags don't degrade for 1000 years. This means that anything inside the bag stays in the bag for 1000 years. Laughable argument at best. If retailers aren't buying plastic they're buying paper, cardboard and cloth. All of which are more expensive which end up...

Units have personal Air/heating. So you can have air con on in the winter if you want.

Thanks Keithz, I didn't know about those things. For the most part wouldn't it make sense that criminal activity somewhat mimics the activity of a business? Your meetings aren't always at the same time... you make calls, you email, you conference. I don't really think they're meeting at the...

Same as wiretapping too... and because I have an internet phone does that not mean they'd be able to legally tape my calls without a warrant. What's especially stupid is people just have to encrypt their data and it makes the whole exercise pointless which anyone committing major criminal...

Back to the point. Noise travels through everything to varying degrees. People are sensitive to varying degrees. If you're worried about sounds ask to see the blueprints or just tap on the outer walls of the unit you're buying. If a new development won't let you see the blueprints, which they...

Partying travels through concrete quite easily. Also as indicated it could come through the hall. The second example ... also as mentioned is from above. So the only post that actually states what the walls are is the one I cited and is the closest thing to proof you can get without...

Since this building isn't finished yet I'd say it's pretty tough to know what the partition walls are made of. Someone in this thread posted that they are concrete in cityplace and they live in the building. Stop blowing sunshine.

Hi Guys, I'm participating in a new charity event in Toronto called Nail and Sail. You can set up your own team with your friends or company and compete for the honor of being the best team to build and race a self made boat or you can take the lazy route and just donate money to my team. :)...

I'd gander a guess that it's one of the last things to get completed. ... expect september or later.

They're currently doing the hallway carpeting and finishes in the east tower. The elevator cladding has come down too... I'm just waiting for them to remove the plastic on the floor and I'll snap a few pics. The elevator is gorgeous.

Er? Best Western? Hertz? Party Room? Vacation? You, my friend, need to perfect your googling skills. :) http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=rental+search+toronto&btnG=Search&meta= Though getting a reference to a site leads to believing the site to be actually useful instead of hoping the...

This was my favourite... I loved the ideas of multiple ramps which cover winter crossing. bike crossing and good ol summer pedestrian crossing. Great design!
