    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    I see. Pardon the ignorance; I'm from Vancouver so the standards I'm used to are a bit out of whack. I've been scoping the market recently, and have been finding Toronto prices surprisingly high for condos (~90% of Vancouver equivalent) but surprisingly cheap for houses/townhouses/duplexes...

    I'll be 40 and looking for a house by 2030 lol =( Why isn't this a higher priority? This should have happened before the spadina extension. Don't they know that 905 transit dollars only make people drive to park-and-rides instead of getting them out of their cars? A condo takes just under 3...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I'm trying to buy a pre-construction condo or loft somewhere close to the vicinity of the future DRL. I'm hoping that I'll luck out with the timing, and reap the benefits not long after move-in day lolol. I've always assumed it will be along Queen, but some of the diagrams here are showing the...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    ^^I don't know why anyone would want to buy in that cluster of towers. Far from subway, overpriced, noisy, no green space, no views for half the units. I wonder if sustained low oil prices will lower demand for downtown or TTC corridor condos. Hope that will drive prices down relative to...

    ^^Agreed. I'm sure no one would be chastised for making a two-letter praise of the project. AA has forgotten "modernism" a while ago. What's with the diagonal steps in the white grid? What was wrong with a simple grid?

    I would hate to live in either building, with a 40-storey wall of onlookers 30 feet away like in an office tower. It's as horrible as the Couture/X Condo relationship

    Carlaw, The (Streetcar) - Real Estate -

    Wow, these floorplans are terrible. There are studios and one-bedroom units occupying prime corner locations on the floorplate, while most of the 2 bedroom units are stuck in the middle of the building with windowless second bedrooms.

    First-time buyer, looking for some insight into reliable developers

    It's not a fair comparison because you are using high-ceiling converted-loft type spaces with "framed windows" nearly as large as the floor-to-ceiling example. Punched windows in a regular condo with 8-foot ceilings will limit a lot of daylight and are actually quite depressing. Add in the...

    I find Liberty Place to have extremely bleak/dated architecture, and poor connection to the rest of the city. Cityplace is bleak, but at least not dated looking lol.

    River City Condos Phase 3 (UrbanCapital) - Real Estate -

    Casually browsing for a first home here... I received a price list showing the majority of the units to be just under $600/sf. Not sure if that's higher or lower than expected?

    First-time buyer, looking for some insight into reliable developers

    Actually I saw the price list and the units for RC3 are just under $600/sf. Wouldn't call that disgustingly high. But the floorplans really are horrible... half of them have the kitchen inside the living room like an entertainment unit! The wierd thing is that the horrible layouts are totally...

    These units are horrible. The largest one bedroom (sans den) is 476sf???

    First-time buyer, looking for some insight into reliable developers

    Interesting, because the only piece of residential architecture I actually like in this city is Rivercity phase 1 by Urban capital... but they're on the bad list! Also a prospective first time buyer here. I'm looking for something that will meet the following criteria: -1 bedroom (no more no...
