    Toronto Toronto | Charlie Condos | 122.83m | 36s | Great Gulf | Diamond Schmitt

    Amazing and really enlightening shots from the photographers around here. I'm probably moving from Minto Quantum 2 to the downtown area soon. This building and Six50 King have really captured my attention. Was in both yesterday, and I have to say some of the unit designs in Charlie are really...

    Got one last night from far too close to the building but it will give some idea of the look. I'll post when I get a chance to upload it.

    Thanks! I will send pictures if/when I ever furnish the place properly. Right now it's just got all my old furniture and I don't have nearly enough to fill it. Anyone know good interior designers?

    Toronto Toronto | Minto Midtown | 160.01m | 52s | Minto Group | Zeidler

    Thanks! I am starting to get a pretty good impression of the various elements of the building, minto, construction, the board, etc. I've also gotten to the point where I know based on unit number how big a suite someone owns, which will probably lead to terrible snobbery down the road but is...

    Quantum 2 Floorplans A follow-up to the floor plan question, I was able to track down most if not all of the standard floor plans. 1 BR: The Everest The Liberty 1BR + Den: The Empire The Niagara The Eiffel 2BR / 2BR + Den: The Sydney The Golden Gate The Big Ben

    The links are gone but the PDFs remain on minto's website. Behold the Empire: http://mintomidtown.com/north/pdfs/TheEmpire.pdf Also, for fun, my layout: http://mintomidtown.com/north/pdfs/TheBigBen.pdf

    All fair points. This is currently pretty low on the priority list. First up is getting a few dings in the floor taken care of by the builder.

    I've looked into this since getting my mild slap from Urbandreamer and apparently this sort of work is pretty common, but might be a bit messy. I'll let you know if I find any contractors who might be suitable, should I try to take on an upgrade.

    That's some kitchen, but somehow I think Minto might have charged me a small upgrade fee for it. Conservative? Probably. But given my options, I am still happy with it. There wasn't much I could have chosen that would have been considered funky. I think that if you're buying new, there's...

    That's actually not a split...though when I looked at it I saw exactly what you were talking about. It's an illusion, created by the angle, lighting, and the resampling of the picture (the original shows what's actually going on). The covering is two panels, but the gap is covered by a...

    Toronto Toronto | Minto Midtown | 160.01m | 52s | Minto Group | Zeidler

    Pictures Well, the floor was dirty and the thermostat was in the expected ludicrous spot, but otherwise the unit was in pretty good shape. The view is way better than advertised given I'm not high enough to see over the south tower or the CT buildings. This was the best surprise of the...

    PDI Tomorrow For anyone still waiting, I will be getting my first look at my 2+1 tomorrow. I hope to take some decent pictures and will get them up ASAP.

    August 22nd would be nice...congrats. I got October 10th. I'm about halfway up though, so I figured I wouldn't be in the first group.

    Panicked too soon. I forgot that I took care of this eventuality; there's an opt-out clause in the final lease. Off-topic though...I'll just go back to admiring the building.

    What what what?? Summer? Where is this coming from? I just signed a 1-year lease! Ack!

    Toronto Toronto | Minto Midtown | 160.01m | 52s | Minto Group | Zeidler

    If you look at the latest pictures, you can see that they've gone to narrower floors near the top. I think the last wide floor is the 46th, since the 47th is the "Terrace" floor according to the midtown website. That would indicate that they've just finished floor 51, and have only the top 2...

    The break in the Yonge streetwall won't be the parking lot entrance. That's being built at the eastern side of the project.

    Toronto Toronto | Republic Of Yonge And Eglinton Condos | ?m | 27s | Tridel | Burka

    Good points about costs. But of course the costs can only drive the price so far...there must be some belief on Tridel's part that people are willing to pay $475+/sq foot at this location...even if it does mean living on top of a high school.

    Toronto Toronto | Republic Of Yonge And Eglinton Condos | ?m | 27s | Tridel | Burka

    Well, the Republic sales office is open for business...prices are pretty high, with a 1050 sq ft unit going for $487,000, more than $100,000 more than comparable units in Quantum 2. Interesting. Personally, I like the Minto project a lot better, but I'm biased since I bought a unit there.

    The nerves stem only from the large amounts of cash I am pouring into this thing. I've never made an investment even close to this size before. That being said, I agree with you. The entire project seems throroughly impressive and I'm excited to be in on it.
