according to the website they're using double 2x4 with soundproofing insulation, and then leaving an air gap wall between the party walls for added buffer. I don't think it's ideal but it's not the worst case scenario. I was jogging by the site yesterday and saw one of the women from Cecconi...

hey moxy (and any other Block buyers) we do have a facebook group going for purchasers in Block to chat and share progress photos. if you want to join send me a PM and I can add you.

according to mls 3 of the 5 homes are listed for sale through the same agent. not a good sign but not surprising either

hey, when you were at the sales center did they tell you the depth of the outdoor yards? I assume the width depends on the width of the unit one's bought but I'm curious about how deep they are? looks about 10-12 feet in the renderings but I was wondering if they provided that info

yah the floor plans are up on the website and they're quite good. but starting at 1.1million they should be. none of them have main floor powder rooms though which really surprises me. Perhaps they're offering that as an option or an upgrade, but not on the main plans. that's a huge surprise...

big launch is this week. I'm curious to see the floor plans as I can't seem to wrap me head around the layouts from the photos on the site. here's the website if anyone's interested http://lighthaus.ca/

hey, I can't speak for the quality of construction... though as someone who's bought our family home at BLOCK up the street (different developer but same look, architect and interior designers) i have to hope these homes are made half decently. But to a layman like myself the aesthetic looks...

I've been watching these go up and they look really nice. the grey stone with the warm wood cladding to me at least looks as good live as it did in the renderings.

I agree with many of the people here. the execution doesn't look that good compared to what it could have been. I checked out the website for fun and the renderings are so much better than the actual building. the devil is really in the details in these types of projects. I love modern low...

hey Moxy, still can't find the group. any update? here are some photos I took last week, but at the crazy speed they're going I bet it's much further along by now just a week later. Foundations are going in and first floor framing has begun View looking west to the Roxton side you can...

hey moxy, I clearly suck at facebook since I can't find it with either search word groups. I'll PM you my name and perhaps add me and then you can invite me to join. I have a few other Block people on my FB I can add after that

biked by the site today, wow, lots of action both on shaw and roxton side. I counted at least 8 different machines/dump trucks active. here's a shot from the shaw side facing north west.

well I can only speak from experience with a kid who started JK last year but in our area (king west, Trinity Bellwoods) the local public school Niagara PS was slated for closure 10 years ago due to lack of demand. Luckily for us it didn't get the ax. Now it's filling up nicely with lots of...

dropped by the site this morning. Here are a few shots (next time i'll go on the north side to get around the fence): Achman's lane facing Roxton Achman's lane facing Shaw

they're really moving along now with the excavation. The old trees are gone now and they're starting to dig down. I'll be up in the area tomorrow and will post some photos.

well, as someone who lives in a 3brm condo on King West with two kids I can say that I'd MUCH rather live in my condo than a SFH just outside of the core. hubby and I can both walk/bike to work. the kids are in a great daycare/school two treelined blocks away. we have trinity bellwoods park...

Hey moxie Great idea about the fb group. It's fun to chat with other purchasers. Jen

sorry but I think the home floorplans are awful. no bathroom without walking through someone's bedroom. tiny with one room stacked on top of the other. definitely not worth the money IMHO besides the great location

does anyone know if these are stacked or if they're all ground level entrance up to roof patios

my friend is already registered. We bought our family home in Block, similar project a bit north. But I live around the corner now from this development and it looks exciting. the neighbourhood definitely needs some newer homes
