Thanks for the pics current. btw what are those 2 buildings that is being constructed behind it ? The other one looks like Casa and what is the other ? Yup...interesting to see Blu and Uptown being built side by side.

Exactly that's how they work to create the impression. The way things are going there is a probability they can delay unless GG has a lot of cash or backing. Their latest ad at the Globe and Mail also looks toned down (relative to their earlier ads) without the glamor etc etc. btw the...

400 CAD per Square Foot ? Hey, did anyone see today's ad for Charlie ? I think they released more units for roughly around 400/sq ft (no parking)...which is way down from 600 plus/sq ft. Are they having difficulty selling ? It is bad timing.

By the time they complete this condo/hotel in 2011, the economy (hopefully) has recovered at least partially. This is in a good location plus the brand name is well known so prices should hold up well if they do it right.

New York City especially will feel the pain in 2009 considering the shrinking pool of high paying finance jobs. Some construction photos from the Pemberton site

It would be interesting to see what 2009 numbers will look like with larger price drops expected in the other cities

Interesting to see how these buildings in this area will "exactly" look like next year. Expected occupancy date for The Uptown Residences is June 2010 according to NP. In terms of average price, they are selling these around 700 per sq. ft. and I think the other project of Pemberton that...

Thanks for the photos. ...hopefully these developments (esp the firm behind Blu and 1 Bloor) do not fall victim to the financial crisis.

This is going slow relative to the pace of LightBox/Festival Tower and Ritz Carlton.

Construction Status Some construction photos for September 2008 at another website... http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/cs/?id=171073

The rainy season in TO probably slowed the construction pace of these condos...

yup those buildings look really close to each other. It would interesting to see how they would coordinate the build

What is the latest going rate per square footage for this development ? I think M5V was selling for $500 and Charlie was selling for $600 per sqr ft. Do you guys think these prices will hold up pretty well (relatively) if the market slows down. There are too many condos going up.

Cool pics... Do the majority of the people who live at the condos in this area take the subway or they still prefer to drive.

This seems to be going slow...it looks like they will miss the Nov 2009 completion date.

Summer Palace, Shang Palace ?? I wonder what type, class and number of restaurants this Shangri-la will house especially in a condo-hotel type of development. The ones in Asia are very classy, luxurious and top notch. They are also famous for their buffet which beats anything TO has to...

I wonder if after this Trump will build another building in Toronto.

Thanks Mike in TO, dt_toronto_geek, casaguy for the construction pics update...those apt buildings behind are really ugly.

The Moving Occupancy Date When is the estimated occupancy date for this condo ? Is it Nov 2008 or March 2009 or Nov 2009 ? or maybe March 2010 ?

Stern Building ? Does it look like this... http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/atlanta/realestate/images/0906_mansionpeachtre.jpg
