Correct, they are top load.

There is constant mention of the outdoor heated pool causing high maintenance costs. Nobody has seemed to realize that the outdoor "year round" pool was simply a sales gimmick to get people excited about a "cool" feature in a pre-construction building before they are really thinking about their...

I did notice that at the time that I bought at CASA, most other condos were advertising their buildings as being "green" and energy efficient. I was a little disappointed that CASA didn't seem to have any regard for this. Case in point, I was quite surprised in my PDI to see that the unit...

I have heard this as well about any condo with west facing exposure.

If all glass was so inefficient then why would the new top LEED rated RBC office tower be all glass? I really don't know anything myself but what I've been told is that glass helps in the winter if it's south exposure. In some cases glass will require more energy and in some it will save i.e...

I'm actually looking at BSN right now and the ribbon thing on the roof does match the rest of the green. My office is around roof level with BSN and very close so I'm certain of this. I'm really glad they painted it because I saw them sticking it on there last week in metal colour and I...

I have a feeling that occupancy is behind a couple days as this morning when I went buy I saw crews installing the lobby doors. So unless there are residents using different doors to go in and out there can't be people living here just yet. The lobby is also full of crew doing all kinds of...

Here are pics from last week and of the lobby today. Shame about the brick....this will probably only get worse...I don't know what they can do about it?

I spoke with the sales office late this afternoon and was told that the first residents supposed to occupy tomorrow have been pushed back to Wednesday as they are delayed getting the permits. After work I went by the site and it completely looks like they're getting ready to welcome residents...

Simlus, I need to correct you on a few things here: All appliances are basically made by the same companies today...the standard appliances offered here were basically the lower end although not "budget" stainless steel. For example the dishwasher is non steel interior...a plastic interior...

It's hard to compare $1000 per sq foot of penthouse here with $1000 sqf in a luxury condo. Here you are getting the most amazing view with floor to glass windows spanning your unit. 10' ceilings and equivalent finishes to the four seasons (according to the sales centre). Plus you're...

That would be pretty cool if we actually saw lobby doors today. I'm parked at the Green P across CASA today so I'll check it out at the end of the day. Topsoil eh? Can they actually plant grass in this weather? I forgot to mention last week that I saw into the parking garage which was...

I beleive for the upper PH units it's around $1000 not incl. balcony, terrace or sunroom space. The lowers I'm guessing are $700-$900 depending on unit.

Just saw that they added more sidewalk over the weekend. There are now 2 rectangles of sidewalk on both sides of the entrance and flat soil filling the insides of the rectangles. I'm kind of surprised that they've been doing all this landscaping now as I thought it would wait until the spring...

I believe tomorrow although could even be today. My move in is next Monday...I have a feeling the lobby entrance wont be open and we'll be using a back door or the parking garage to go in and out for a little while but I could be wrong.

It has to be since closing dates begin 4 days from now :) Is it possible for people to start occupancies with the lobby entrance closed off? Where they would have people going in and out of some back door for the time being?

My lawyer's office has informed me that they just received a bunch of documents from Cresford including my parking assignment on the 4th floor. DAMN! Well at least I can walk up one flight of stairs from the parking lot to get to the common floor.

Urbandreamer...I think your taste is very personal. To me the SS in the first 2 pics is total overkill, but if you like it then all the power to you.

What are you talking about? Maybe you personally don't like that colour combo but steel, white and black go with any other solid colour. And regarding the comment about un-defined kitchens along the wall. This is a positive for some and a negative for others. I am 1 person living in a 1...
