I know that it is surprising but ... tourists maybe?

That stove is hideous!

Are you that dense or desperate? OP original unit was a 2 BR + den, how on earth would you expect him to go for a 1BR?

If you are comparing both condos, a more realistic average condo price at Y & S is probably starts at $1350 for a 1BR with parking whereas the "same" unit downtown would cost ~$1500 w/o parking.

Things will most likely improve in that area after Shangri-La is built.

Those are air ducts.

Update:

With Ritz/RBC/CN tower in the background:

Wonder when they will break ground...

More interior:

Probably mid 30s.

A close-up:

No excuse she is out of line.

That's reminding me of those Hollywood movies where the whole town is part of a cult...

I actually think this condo looks very pretty ... mainly because blue is my favorite color :) and there is really a lack of color in this city!

I'd like to see Toronto: - Clean up the east and west end of the city - Stop those social housing project that basically turns an area into slums. - Lower property tax - Have a TTC that is actually clean and something Torontonian can be proud of - Expand the TTC line, at least connect...

So is our neighbour in the south.

Looks like they rushed the opening before it was really ready. Hopefully it will re-open soon.

The blue cladding looks good.

I basically agree with you 100% on the cost savings part. However, carrying them out is another matter altogether (the city will probably be on strike for a year).
