Here's a new tidbit of information: the undersides of the CASA wrap-around balconies will be painted, which is a good thing as there would otherwise be lots of exposed concrete. This building is shaping up to be a beauty.:)

CDR, I don't think prices will appreciate much more in the near term, but I highly doubt there will be much (if any) drop in prices. With the heightened demand to live in the core, at the intersection of 2 subway lines, near Yorkville, and with Bloor St. getting a makeover, this is one of the...

Thanks, CDR108, I'll definitely give them a call. It's a shame developers are often so greedy. If we were talking about a bakery or shoe repair shop we'd get more sincerity and effort. But when you're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, you're treated like you owe THEM even more.

Casaguy, I appreciate the advice, and I definitely don't have money to burn. But the melamine kitchen provided doesn't do justice to the place, and at $6,000 for the glossy finish, it may actually be worth it if you compare ripping out the melamine and installing such a Scavolini from scratch...

Hey folks, I'm really excited about this project but...while the standard finishes are decent, anyone wanting to upgrade should beware. The addendum to the agreement of purchase and sale has some sinister clauses. For example: 2c) "In addition to all other reasonable costs, additional...

Slightly more accurate: the LR is 21'4" and 2ndBR 9'11" long, with approximately 2'5" of closet space in between. That's a total of 33'8". Adding the 5' for the balcony would make it 38'8", so 40' is not a big stretch if you factor in the concrete between Foglia and Roma. But the width is...

I'm thinking of going with a concrete ceiling as opposed to standard stucco (ugh!) or over-priced plaster...only problem is, they want you to sign your life away with all the disclaimers...holes, scratches, bumps you have to accept...it gives them too much protection....would i be wise to do it...

Let's hope MLG is flipped soon. Do we really want to wait another 10 years while (almost) an entire city block in the centre of town rots? Kyle Rae, the city, the province, even the nation should nudge the Westons in that direction. They've sat on this site far too long, to the detriment of...

I was told last week by a 1 Bloor East Sales rep that the name of a European Hotel chain that will lease the first floors of this skyscraper will be announce in mid-August:)

Hey there, I've got a furnished 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom available for September 1st...let me know

Sticks in the eye aside, the model suite had 5 feet balconies. Anything less and the builder is misleading the consumer and is liable for a possible lawsuit. Even one foot makes a huge difference. Plus, I was assured by the developer that the width will in fact be 5'. We shall see.

Thanks for the encouraging words re: the 'Foglia' views...my other concerns at this point are a) the lockers - I was told at the time of purchasing that they would go on sale later, and that I would be given priority as a 2-bedroom purchaser; of course they gave me nothing in writing b) the...

Well Newbie and Casaguy, I'm a 'Foglia' purchaser on a higher floor here also, so I think we all have much in common. One thing I wanted to ask: since the BSN across the street will now be 32 floors will it obstruct the view from a Foglia unit on a similar CASA floor? I'm under the impression...
