    levy and development fees

    Keep in mind even with a cap on development and levy fees there are other charges the developer is able to pass along at closing. I just closed mid-January and had my development/levy fees capped at $5500, but the total closing costs ended up to be approximately 6% of my purchase price. I...

    Condo Developers rip off?

    I'm not sure which building the original post is referring to, but it's not 455 Adelaide/10 Morrison. The original post refers to a closing date in 2007, I'm an owner at 10 Morrison and we just closed in mid-January of this year. The other details don't fit either, but the reference to the...

    The site mentioned at the start of the thread is to the immediate east of the parking lot/Gansevoort site.

    Toronto Toronto | 629 King Residences (was Thompson Residences) | 53.34m | 15s | Freed | Saucier + Perrotte

    Just noticed this site was purchased by Freed for $21,875,000 (closing date was April 8th). Even back in January 2008 when this thread was first started I thought the rumoured asking price of $20 mil seemed high .. but there you have it.

    Condo Couches

    As soon as I read your comment I did recall that the sofa beds felt firmer than those without when I first checked them out in the showroom. I mentioned it to the salesperson and they did acknowledge that the sofa bed cushions do tend to be firmer, but soften up over time. The cushions on mine...

    Condo Blinds

    The building I'm in is a few months old and all units have floor to ceiling windows. I went with the solar blinds, bought them as an upgrade through the developer (yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a idiot). I had issues with the installation and to a lesser extent the materials used, but ultimately I...

    Condo Couches

    I have a small one bedroom unit that I just finished furnishing. I had done a lot of browsing for sofas and at one point was considering something very similar to the one you posted in the start of the thread. l realized at some point in the search that I really wanted a decent sofa bed for...

    Toronto Toronto | Fashion District Lofts | ?m | 10s | Freed | Core Architects

    It appears windows weren't originally planned for that part of the building (based on the original rendering). Might be a design issue, but I thought it had more to do with the rules regarding exterior walls built on a property line.

    ^ ... nice shots! I have a run of the mill point-and-shoot, never seem to get decent night photos.

    Toronto Toronto | Lofts 399 | ?m | 10s | Cresford | Northgrave

    I should clarify .. the photo was a couple of weeks old before I got around to posting it.

    Toronto Toronto | Picasso Condos | 128.62m | 39s | Mattamy Homes | Teeple Architects

    .. I think she got the address right, but not the description (318 Richmond W was the address of the former Volume/Joker nightclub).

    ... but they did take the extraordinary step of installing a guard dog on site to prevent the equipment from being sabotaged by former Mode buyers looking for revenge.

    Toronto Toronto | 2 St Thomas | 80.46m | 26s | KingSett Capital | Hariri Pontarini

    .. it's the subject of this thread (website link is shown on the first page). I think you might be confusing this project with "1 St Thomas" across the street. A few additional photos from a while back ...

    Toronto Toronto | Fashion House | ?m | 12s | Freed | Core Architects

    There was a link here last week http://www.savethousandsoncondos.com/4a_form.php?record_id=7522 .. but I just had a look and it's been removed and replaced with "To View Available Suites Please Register For The Seminar Below"

    Toronto Toronto | Fashion House | ?m | 12s | Freed | Core Architects

    .. had a look at the PDF of the floor plans and have to agree with the comment above, the layouts for the 1-bedroom units typically seemed to be long and narrow with the bedroom situated between the bathroom and living/dining area. Does anyone know who's doing the launch for this? Brad Lamb...

    Toronto Toronto | Rêve | ?m | 14s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    Funny you mention that, I hadn't wandered along that stretch of Front St. in a while and had forgotten about the stench. It was such a great day for a walk, I was wandering along Front from Union Station amongst the crowds making their way to the Jays game and a couple of other downtown events...

    .. first photo from last year, second from this weekend. Not sure what's going on with this site, but it seems the plans for the 2 tower condo redevelopment have either been postponed or canceled entirely.
