We did something similar with our condo. The developer needed 15% deposit on the purchase price (spread out over 3 payments), but our mortgage was approved with only 10% down. We still did have to pay what the developer required. But upon closing, the difference (5%) came back to us from bank...

It looked like there were pile-drivers (or something like that) working on site yesterday; same goes for today.

Am I reading the reports correctly that for Richmond Hill Centre station, they'll have to demolish the theatre building to build the station?

LOL I moved into this neighbourhood in August, and now I definitely understand what this sculpture could be used for. Funny - some people find it really offensive, but I think one gets pretty used to the odours from the slaughterhouse - although some days are worse than others. We definitely...

Signage just installed at the sales centre announces new model suites opening in March 09.

There are two huge dumpsters outside the sales office this morning.

It's a few blocks away, but I buy mine at the Kitchen Table at King/Bathurst. They usually have them (but they didn't this morning).

Glass Here are two photos from this morning.

Glass Glass has been installed along the west facade, on the second floor behind the Crangles structure. I'll post a photo in the next few days.

I received an email from the Liberty Village BIA to announce that the Ossington bus will be routed through Liberty Village starting late Nov... TTC Ossington bus extends into Liberty Village beginning November 23… the 63 Ossington bus will extend from the Ossington Subway Station (on...

Cresford is the lowest-ranked again this year. Second year in a row. Anyone surprised?

Is this really the north-west corner of Front/Bathurst, or do people mean the north-east corner (ie where the Harley dealership and climbing gym are)?

With Cresford, the reduction in ceiling height from 9 to 8 feet constituted a material change which allowed us out of our contract, so definitely this would be a material change too.

Isn't it the roof itself that is one of the building's most distinguished architectural/historical features? I read somewhere that it's fastened only one one of the four corners, and the other three are "floating" for expansion/contraction of the roof.

I heard that TEDCO is trying to lure LCBO into one of their properties that would apparently be ideal for them. LCBO is busting at the seams, I hear. That would free up the current LCBO site.

We had dinner at Milestone's last Friday night - their second night open. The entire restaurant was busy and the patio was full (40 min wait). At night the restaurant looks amazing and the food is what you'd expect or better than most chain restaurants I'd say. We had a great time and really...

They moved just across the street, into the base of Zed lofts. No word on the retail going into the base of Sixty yet, except the sales centre for 400 Wellington.

Took these photos of the south stair today.

I am a Sixty lofter (soon to be) too. Ryan here ;-)

I would imagine these properties for sale along Wellington St. would be subject to the same height limitations as the new building at 60-64 Niagara St, which rises to the maximum height allowed. The Bathurst building is taller by about 5 floors. Even if the Wellington sites are redeveloped...
