Wow... so much action on this end of town!

Likely means you will be moving sometime after... you won't know for sure until the building gets closer to completion but it won't be before sept 2012.

Website update today: "Given the delays noted above, we trust Purchasers understand and expect that the occupancy date needs to be amended. Accordingly, we need to amend the Tentative Closing Date for the project to September 1, 2012. Pursuant to Section 14 (c) of the Purchase and Sale...

Was it busy? The interiors from the brochure look pretty standard but the outside is sooo crummy.

I just bought an older condo moving in august. Regardless of whether you buy new or old there are risks and its the desire to have low maintenance fees by the residence that create many of these problems. If the fees seem to low, if the reserve appears not well funded, if there are special...

It also depends on where they came from. Our neighbors had them and didn't want to spray. The exterminator told us that they will just keep coming back. We moved.

The unit is in the St. Lawrence market area.... I am actually going to look at a place on carlaw tomorrow. now I am nervous...

What if only one wall is shared... Would I still need to isolate the whole room?

Is that rendering for real?

Really? I was thinking about calling up an engineer... I was thinking it might cost 10K.... I think I am going to see about getting someone in ASAP to check this out.

Thanks for the advice! My other half freaked out... I think its do able/fix able... Its the top floor and the floor below is a business so its actually only one shared wall - bedroom wall... What sound proofing should I look into? Does anyone know / recommend a contractor?

Its only one shared wall... about 12 feet tall and 40 feet long... its a big wall... I don't know anything about sound proofing and searching online it would seem to be more complex ,,, Would most condo boards allow modifications to accommodate sound proofing?

Ok.. so I realize this thread is sorta dead.. anyways thought I would post... I found a place I absolutely love... but I went in for a 2nd showing and the noise from the neighbours unit was loud... is it worth buying a place and sound proofing? or should I just move on?

Thanks! Yeah the maintenance fees scare me a bit...

Does anyone know anything about this building? I saw a couple of units for sale but don't know much about it. I like the area but not sure. There are some hard lofts near by like imperial and was trying to compare the two. Anyone have information? thoughts?

You would be credited the amounts that you would have pre-paird in tax and condo fees... This is a very very very crude estimate. I suggest talking to a specialist... Realtor Fee @ 5% (with HST): 18927.5 Lawyer Fee: 1300 Mortgage Penalty (est with open variable, but check to see if refundable...

Anyone living there now? Is the noise from neighbours bad?

From what I know.... -Realtor fees are big, you can limit by finding agents that offer different commission rates based on level of services or try and negotiate reduced commission fee [I believe you also pay hst on fees now] -Mortgage penalty: talk to your mortgage specialist they can help you...

Different parts of Toronto will have different expenses for everything... even the cable bills are different by area... Its probably better to make a budget based on what you can afford....

Without parking? I would say look a bit further west.. I bought at Art condos for less than 400k... 2bed 2 bath.. Not sure if the prices went up yet but its suppose to occupy next year...
