Hi RZ12, I'm looking to rent a 2BR. Any investor owners out there?

How's the sales doing in this building? Will Tridel have units in inventory after occupancy?

Argento? When is occupancy?

The whole Emerald City is a ticking time bomb with building defects. Maintenance fees will skyrocket in near future. Tower 1 is about to enter its 3rd week long garbage chute close down due to repair. The 2nd floor stinks of rotten garbage from the compactor room. In its first year, tower 1...

The answer is stroller. Quite impressed with property management. What a refreshing change from emerald customer care. From property management office... While I couldn’t comment on how hazardous it is due to its specifications within the elevator lobby in these conditions without a proper...

Techia - great that you requested an emergency meeting. To me, the elevator situation is no longer a matter of inconvenience. This is what I wrote to property management. My concern is not one of inconvenience but safety. There is one air vent in the underground waiting area. I don't know if...

Some good suggestions but the risks remain. The ramp is very unconventional with 2 lanes down and 1 up. The physical width does not suggest that to drivers especially visitors. Speed bump slowing down egress too much will be at risk of sliding. The biggest danger is a unseen pedestrian walking...

My locker is inside room 7(?) as you exit the elevators on P2. No, I didn't go down to P3. On Sunday, I also saw repair being done on 4th floor on a wall opposite to the elevator but outside of individual units. I chatted with a resident from 3rd floor. He said about 20 people from his floor...

Unfortunately, it is too late to stuff the genie back in the bottle. There has been numerous negative postings on poor build quality from the residents of the building. Don't forget the class action lawsuit on the subway entrance. Unless the residents confront the builder to address pervasive...

It won't be before this CRTC hearing on FTTH (fibre-to-the-home) and TPIA (third party internet access) like Teksavvy

Hi jonlai9, I read a relevant blog on gross rent multiplier (GRM) on http://www.greaterfool.ca/2014/08/13/investment-grade/. Across the street from the new townhouse, there are almost identical rental townhouses available at $2700/month (http://www.homestead.ca/apartments/forest-suites)...

Hi newbuyer, Building code usually deals with safety issues. Unless your contract specified usable shelving space and volume, you don't have much to go on. The only easy fix now is to drill new holes and move the shelf above all the pipes. The proper installation of the pipes would have run the...

Hi Grasshopper, Where do I start? The picture is the interior of the cabinet next to the kitchen sink. This is where all water is moved between the main plumbing and sink/dishwasher. The gray pipe for moving dirty water is installed properly under the shelf. The hot water (red) and cold water...

Hi Toronto83, I have asked both Comwave and Primus also. They are unable to provide internet because the building (70 Forest Manor) is not mandated by CRTC to be served by third parties other than Rogers or Bell. You can read more about this on...

Hi neighbors! Before moving into this condo, our ISP was Teksavvy. I was told by them and Start Communication that 70 Forest Manor can only be serviced by Bell or Rogers. Does any one at 70 forest manor have any luck using an ISP other than Bell or Rogers?

This is likely the result of poor trades coordination while behind schedule, subpar contractors workmanship and builder arrogance with ~500 units sold pre construction. I feel sorry for my landlord having paid close to half a million for this crap.

Reported but unactioned :)

The most comical build defect in my unit.

Hi Ancea, We're on the high 20's. The hot water was yellow but less drastic than what you showed in your picture. The building has a lot of growing pain to overcome. BTW, how is the workmanship around your bathtub? The caulking around our tub was unevenly applied. It has a lot of gaps...

We moved into the building late May. When our stuff arrived, I was disappointed to see that the loading dock also serves as recycling holding area. The bins were overflowed with boxes. However, some wet and possible perishable trash was kept there too. I haven't visited the garbage collection...
