Well I am on to my fourth pre-construction unit and honestly it seems that developers are not held accountable. Its hard to find information on a developers performance, items such as build quality, customer service, honestly/transparency, etc... Does anyone know of sources (beside tarion)...

That nice old building was not nice on the inside.... get over it....

For lack of better words... that is one weird floor plan...

Ryerson offers subsidized MBAs so you don't have to spend like 80K...

Curious if anyone has heard anything about revised occupancy dates? I didn't see any in the letter they posted online and I still haven't got any updates from the developer... Where did the 2.50 psf estimate come from? Seems a bit high for the rate outside of the core? I've rented many 1...

Yeah why is there so much negative comments towards Ryerson? Education is important but not a substitute for experience or capabilities. Students, to get the most out of their education, should look beyond what is taught to them, and reflect and expand on that knowledge based on their...

Shoot.. those poor townhomes... Isn't it a bit odd that the city approved a project that would be so out of sorts. Didin't the lesliville lofts on broadview get killed for not fitting in?

I agree that there has to be a policy change that makes some aspects of the BB removal process mandatory and buildings should be notifying their tenants. For apartments, the adjacent units (above, below, and either side) need to be sprayed at the same time otherwise they will come back. I got...

Came across this not too long ago... http://spotcrime.com/on/toronto

Personal experience... I think that feeling safe in an area would really come down to what experiences someone had in an area.

I haven't purchased with Monarch before but its worth a try. There is a fee with assignments, typically a couple thousand dollars.

Pre-construction contracts typically have an assignment clause - assignment means transfer of the right to the Purchase and sale agreement. You need to have your lawyer ask the developers lawyers. There is typically an assignment fee and use of MLS is sometimes restricted. I went through...

You shooul take a look at Sync LoftS, Edge Lofts, and Broadview lofts for comparissons.... I don't think you will get 2000/month with parking for a 1bed + den... I would think more around 1600 ...

The first time is definitely the scariest. Once you sign you will still have the recision period to make a final decision. Ask him lots of questions.... Keep in mind some agents are better connected than others...

I am not really an expert I guess... but I think you have to value each investment individually and keep in mind what your money could be doing in alternatives.... If you have 150k in cash just sitting around then you should probably look at making it work for you. I wouldn't say no to a good...

I lived at Vaughan Road and Oakwood... and that was 'interesting'... and Moss Park area (queen st from St. Mikes to DVP) is creepy at times.. and lansdowne bloor area is a no go for me. Scarborough is a large area... so to say that the whole area is rough isn't really true. More of a bad rep.

From my experiences, friends, and what I have heard... What you invest in really should depend on how much risk you want to take on because the reality is there is no sure thing. You need to be realistic with the net returns you expect to gain with pre-con condos. With precon you will need to...

LOL.. thanks! I think I will just have to resort to the fireplace channel.. and when I get board of that I can put on the aquarium channel! I noticed the live cam update. Yeah it has been the same shot since last week.... Has anyone else actually received any correspondence? I haven't got any...

Is this project already being sold?

Hello Thread, This is a dead thread I guess. Anywho, looks like demolition is getting ready to begin! Yee Haw!
