The federal government and the provincial austerity budgets will bring on a recession... that and worldwide credit crisis, along with decreased demand from markets... investors will scramble to find save assets to purchase... (gold might be a good buy???...)...

I probably should have typed ARE, but after thinking because I'm on the fence about everything and maybe AREN't was more appropriate... some Canadian's ARE really heavy in debt... 150% average household debt over average household income. That's like $145,000-ish per average household.. average...

With both Canada and Ontario going to produce austerity budgets in 2012... means less aggregate spending. Canadian customers aren't heavily in debt, and our exports to Europe and especially to our neighbour to the south isn't improving... and we have just had another fabulous year of rising...

There ultimately is some bias in realtor's Mr. Johnson's report, and his guestimate on what's going to happen with the market is just as good as anyone elses guess. What caught my eye was his comment on "so-called experts"... he's basically saying their are no experts and he's kinda labelling...

We here in Canada had the start of collapse in 2008/09. Our government spent $50 billion... they encouraged home owners to renovate by offering the home renovation tax credit. They didn't take away the new home buyer tax credit, they didn't remove the GST/HST new housing rebate. They didn't...

Apparently, the sun came out and melted the cheese top right off the design.

Yes, and that's why 501 Blue Jeans Tower should be weaved into Yonge St. It makes no sense not to put a nice shinny new glass tower there... it's within walking distance of 2 subway stops. But... if we wanna save our heritage buildings the city should ensure that there's heritage building fund...

I'm happy with the current design... I'm sure it's going to change a little... but regardless, I'm actually considering purchasing into this condo. It's this... or 10 York. But I like this location better... but I like 10 York current design and the idea of facing west looking at the...

Some 1+2 bluiding should be spared, but not so much on this strip. Let's develop this prime real estate into a beast of a building, that it's neighbours can envy. That's what this is all about. NIMBYs don't want a building here because it takes their view away and it takes their sunlight...

My imagination says: Use some dark cladding around the above ground parking level to create a belt… and create the buck-buckle by using a LED jumbotron. And dark blue glass... and we have a pair of upside down jeans... with that current design by Lanterra.

I think this condo should be called Blue Jeans Condo.... Even the design kinda looks like a pair of 501's upside down... This building could me made to look like a pair of jeans... just saying... it has the address and potential.

If 501 Yonge (which I want to be called Blue Jeans Condo or Blue Jeyns Condo) can be built over a diagonal subway... I'm sure engineers can figure out how to buiild a massive condo over a big buried highway.

Burying the Gardiner is an option that should be explored... (I doubt the people that make the big decisions... will just remove it... unless something is invented that makes it obsolete.) Dream big.. by burying it... like Boston and their great big dig project. And... once that's completed...

Those views are gone... all depends on whether that parking structure on the other side of the off-ramp gets developed... and at what height. Then you have to consider the development of 120 Harbour St... as well as that 1 Yonge St site... as there is the possibly of a 100 storey (which is...

i like it It kinda reminds me of World Trade Centre... very boxy. I'm hoping that this project gets the sales it needs to start construction prior to the epic realization that Toronto "might" have overbuilt issue... fingers crossed. ;)

My room actually didn't have a door to the balcony, but someone who rented the room before me had knocked out the window screen from the window... so I accidently... lol... fell out the window, I opened onto the balcony with my camera in hand... and took a few pictures. I'm not sure if the...

I was staying at the Delta last weekend and took these... so this is what those people that have the north view are going to get to see...

I feel sorry for those people that own condos at Maple Leaf Square Towers and thought they were going to always have panoramic lake-views because they keep getting boxed in by LARGER TOWERs... Ice, 90 Harbour, L Tower, 88 Scott... likely 1 Yonge, possibly that triangle lot at 120 Harbour. But...

Just because you magically think that incomes are going to rise, it doesn't mean it'll happen. But, I know whatever decision I make, it will be wrong when it comes to Toronto real estate... I call it my fcuked-up-Karma-problem... if I buy the Toronto market is going to cave. Why... because God...

what about the monorail to the portlands? In addition, to hooking it up with the Path... I know, we shouldn't pie in the sky dream about another subway line... but a supertall might actually increase the chances that the Lakeshore Line as proposed by Transit City might actually get built...
