    City-TV & OMNI-TV's H.Q. (formerly Torch, Quadrangle)

    The film you speak of is standard color correction used in TV Studios. Studios use indoor lighting which is yellow/orange, but natural light is blue so we can't have 2 different light temperatures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature We use 3 different colors so they are on...

    City-TV & OMNI-TV's H.Q. (formerly Torch, Quadrangle)

    As someone who works inside I can tell you that we've moved away from using the window as our backdrop. CityLine has been rebuilt to face the other way and BT uses the window maybe only 50% of the time. The reasoning with the changes are #1 it's hideous out there with the garbage bins from...

    realtor and pre construction purchase

    A few years ago my friend lined up for the opening of Tridel's Reve WITHOUT an agent. Tridel saw him in line and gave him "preferred" treatment. basically they just sat with him and answered all his questions about the units and on top of that made sure a unit to his liking was available...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    I'm in my late 20's so most of my friends have been out of school 5-6 years.. On a side note 51% BEFORE tax for home expenses? Yikes.

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    I don't know many couples who make 150K min and have 20% down. The yuppies that have that kind of money tend to blow most of it.

    Love Condos (Gemterra Dev Corp) - Real Estate -

    No they are keeping the 3 story detached that I grew up in. The condo is for retirement purposes (3-4 years from now). They'll probably still keep the house when they actually retire and rent it out.

    Love Condos (Gemterra Dev Corp) - Real Estate -

    yes no kidding 40year mortgages, 0% down pretty much ruined any chance of me getting a reasonable home under $450K. My parents actually worry for my (any my generation). We're a bit off topic now as this is more for baby we got a bubble thread. One last note. One block south of...

    Love Condos (Gemterra Dev Corp) - Real Estate -

    Actually my parents are not rich. The joke is they bought a 3 story detached all brick home about 25 years ago for just over 200K, at the time they pretty much paid in cash as they were able to save and sell their first home. They are first generation immigrants and the reality is that even...

    Love Condos (Gemterra Dev Corp) - Real Estate -

    My barents bought into this development as their "retirement home". They currently live in a house just south of Sheppard off of Kennedy so they wanted to stay in the area. I don't remember the fine details but I think all in it was $260K with a parking spot. From what I recall they said it...

    I would have liked to see townhomes built in this area but obviously condos are where the money is to be made.

    I visited the food court on Friday and although I love the look I do not know how often I'll be eating here. I found it odd that 3 places sell poutine (NYFries, Big Smoke Burger and even the Indian place). Generally speaking here the food is very expensive. The average seemed to be around...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    I had a friend visit from Dubai, she said real estate there is about $400-450psf for prime locations (this is after the crash). She also said not many people buying down there. Some areas e.g. the Palm prices barely changed after the crash. Mind you metrics are much different down there.
