I walk by it every day on the way to the gym and lately I've never seen a single worker on site. The lobby hasn't changed in months and is still completely raw. Maybe they're all up on higher levels doing interiors of the units, but I haven't even seen trucks coming in or PM's on ground level.

I live just behind here on McMurrich which is mostly all condos and townhomes (and a couple dilapidated semis which look like they're being readied for redevelopment) and I do agree that little part of davenport just doesn't seem to blend well with the city as a whole. Part of it is the fact...

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2004_June_16/ai_n6071887 Looks like they sold out a few years back and have started a new restaurant off the 400 in Innisfil. I guess that kid is both a bragger, and an exaggerator. Great combo to go into business with, lol

The kid was probably drunk and certainly delusional. Movenpick is a Swiss company, and if the person is referring to Richtree Market (bought the movenpick locations) then it's owned by an American investment fund. Daddy's been lying to you

Pharmacy signs possibly?

The design reminds me of the regency. The actual tower is very similar, but I have to say it's not what I would do with the property if I had my way.

Cumberland Terrace Not sure if anyone has noticed this but the redevelopment of Cumberland Terrace was being discussed in the four seasons thread and then I stumbled upon this link. It's under "urban design" on their site so this may be just an idea they're throwing out there, but it's...

Agreed. When I first heard the rumors of W hotels buying the old four seasons, I thought a better idea would be to buy cumberland terrace, do a complete tear down, and build a beautiful hotel condo. Ourdoor pool, all the amenities, a good lounge or bar. Could be the new Film Festival hotspot...

CTV won't be moving from Agincourt any time soon. There may have been talk when they acquired Chum that some news operations may move to the Chum building but apart from that the actual company won't be moving. That building houses way too many people, and is strategically in a great location...

what about three 1 king w's? :D

Like I said before, there are many factors that could impact their rents. Assuming it cost more to do the underground parking, they could have saved the difference when buying the land originally (compared to what their competitors paid) so all other things being equal they cancel each other...

who knows, depending on how good the deal was from the beginning they may have had room to keep leases a little cheaper. Maybe they bought land really cheaply, maybe they financed the project really well, maybe they negotiated well with the contruction company. A lot of factors go into...

It's quite possible that if W gained control of it that they would re-brand the building, modernize it, and go after their typical crowd. But if Investor is right and a Toronto developer bought it, then who knows what will happen. Maybe they'll update the building and let a hotel company...

These are just rumors right now but I've heard from a source that W hotels has bought the old four seasons at Yorkville and Avenue Rd. We'll find out soon enough, but I think until the new site is constructed and operational Four Seasons will still own and operate the old property.

Apart from some horrendous architecture, and IMO bad locations, they're probably not bad buildings. Concord Adex is a reputable developer and appear to be doing what they can do develop a sense of community. As long as you can tollerate the low rate architecture and living in a fabricated...

Very interesting. If you find out more (like who the developer is) keep us posted!

There's a lot right on Colborne between Church and Leader right in the heart of the St Lawrence Market area. Anybody know who owns that and if there are any development plans for it? Would be a fantastic site for a funky loft.

I'm not a loft buyer, although I love lofts and am actively searching for the right one. If I had to recommend an agent, I'd say call Brad Lamb and have one of his agents help you out. They specialize in condos (and lofts in particular) so if anybody can help you they can...

It varies. Some projects end up going 2 years past their expected timeline. If the project appears to be on time chances are the confirmed possession will be pretty close to the expected occupancy date. but if the project has been plagued with difficulties you could be waiting many months...

It's funny you mention property management, because that's what I'm currently doing. I've sort of been taken under the wing of a real estate investor and he's taught me as much as he can. I help him manage a fairly large portfolio for an individual (about 60,000 sq ft of commercial, 10,000...
