really? I thought it was second. So in comparison to other large capital centres in North America: New York, Chicago , Boston, Vancouver, San Fransisco, Toronto still has the lowest real estate price

I think you guys are underestimating how many wealthy households in Toronto. According to the last report, the average net-worth of households in Toronto is ~530K, second only to Vancouver. That's average, not median. Meaning that there are a whole bunch of wealthy households number out there...

Comparing the progress and the scheduled occupancy dates, there's no way most of the condos will make their deadlines. So I say 2011 is where we will see a flood of the new condos

mod needs to come in here and clean up this thread. In the meantime i'm quoting my previous question, since i still got no reply

Ok let's get back on topic When ready in 2011, how much do you guys think $ per square foot in One Bedford? I found this development in mid-2007 and I was already too late

This is a sample on how you suppose to do a crystal building http://www.wayfaring.info/2007/05/16/real-accomplishment-with-european-design-in-dresden/ this is stylish, Haas building in Vienna Telus building is definitely not stylish.

Just because it's new, doesn't mean it's contemporary. Contemporary implies style or having some bold modern style. That building has no style whatsoever. It's literally a box for godsake and it's grey. It's protruding into the sidewalk, taking up the whole pedestrian space. If you're coming...

huh?!?! are you serious?!?!

OMG this telus building is an eye-sore compare to the one next to it. WTF is wrong with architectural plan for new projects for Toronto cultural institutes? they are all cheap half-ass, downright horrible to mediocre at best

I really like this building and its location. Anyone knows when the occupation date is?

1. One Bedford 2. Minto Midtown

ok I stand corrected

You can't pay full at interim closing date, as registration is not ready to take place. In order to register the building/developer have to fulfill certain criterias. What you can do is to make an amendment to move your interim closing date to days just before the building ready to register...

You don't own the property before or on the occupancy date, so you can not sell it. You can only sell it after the property becomes officially yours, which is after the registration date, which may be 3-6 months (or more) after the occupancy date

Are you CUPE member?!?

I'd say expect delay between 6-12 months. My first condo was delayed up to a year. My second was actually on time. Although, the first condo was done with almost no defect inside the unit. Everything is tight, close to perfect. My second place, which is a loft, came with tons of defect...

Holy Mother of God, so let me get this: - The taxpayers has to put up with 35+ days of garbage, especially those that have to live next to the dump sites - The taxpayers has to bear the cost of negotiations, lawyers, hotel-meeting rooms, etc. - The unions used dirty tactic of using...

LOL free parking in the city of Toronto, are you serious? the last time we had any free parking in the city was way back in the 19th century

They better not get their bank-able sick days :mad: If I were the city, I would not settle, after coping for 5 weeks, what's another 5-10 weeks?

And it should be completely legal for employers to fire your asses, if you don't want to show up for works. In comparison to other part of the worlds, these people have it good. And it's not like their work quality is top notch.
