The thing is it's not entirely the contractor. Actually I found out who some of the subtrades are for this building. The general contractor hires subtrades for steel, concrete, electrical, elevators, plumbing, HVAC, etc (and these subtrades differ between projects) so you can actually get...

With all due respect, it's honestly not Concord, Daniels, Cresford, etc that are to blame. The role of the developer is to act as the money behind the production. The developer has power over the general concept of the construction. The actual details and quality control are the...

Just got called from Canada Post. They've done the inspection for the lock panel and mail service is now starting. They did a delivery of mail today so everything that was held at 600 Commissioners is now delivered. They said it'll take a few weeks before they get full service but the good...

I saw this happen on another person's unit several weeks ago already. It's just poor workmanship. They didn't leave enough room along the edges to account for expansion of the walls. Just note it on your 30 day warranty and have them fix it.

Sorry for replying late. I called Canada Post on Friday and I went to 600 Comissioners but I found out they were closed. Canada Post told me it was 5 pm that they close. I called them back and told them that the building's lock has been fixed two weeks ago. According to the Panorama...

cdr108, the 8" is the divider between units which is reinforced concrete with paint on top (no drywall). It's essentially paint on concrete. So it's 8" without steel frame + drywall. Interior walls are framed walls so those ones would be 2 to 4" thick.

The problem is the Concord documents doesn't indicate 2% or 5%. It's pretty open-ended. (if anyone can find it that'd be good though). I asked some architects the typical dimension of the concrete wall separating units. Apparently it's probably 8" thick. The side with the big windows does...

After reading your message I did the same measurements too. Except I know my measuremnts are accurate since I do this type of thing for a living. The advertised area and actual living area are apparently different as the area is calculated from exterior wall to exterior wall or centerline of...

I just heard a rumor (i.e. not confirmed) that final closing will be in July/August.

They're holding the mail since Concord/Canada Post is having problems with the panel behind the mailboxes. Apparently the key doesn't work so Canada Post can't put the mail into the mailboxes. Canada Post is supposed to come and fix it sometime this week. It's kind of annoying since I expected...

That's a good idea. Actually I plan on seeing if I can get onto the condo board already.

aznuwee, apparently there's a list that's with the conceirge for renting parking. I'm still on the other list (the one for buying a parking stall which is with Concord) and I'm also on the list for renting just in case (but I'm pretty far down the list). However, according to the conceirge...

I would probably just pour some water in and then see if it drains. And you can't really request a better locker or parking spot. If you do, you'll need to get your lawyer and Concord's lawyers involved since they need to change this on the title, etc etc. What's so bad about your parking...

Hey guys, Finally got my keys today! ...and I'm a bit upset about how they have only fixed half of the stuff. Also to follow up on the glass, I decided not to get it since I think the counters will be fine without it...though it'd look much nicer I'm not sure if it's worth it. Anyway my...

That really sucks. I think Concord decided that not enough people got the option so it would cost them more to just have someone come out to do one door. At least Concord is nice to you. They haven't been so nice when it comes to asking about the parking arrangement. Btw...found this while...

That's a good idea actually. I'm thinking what I'll do is put a tall cabinet like this (http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/10011055) or this (http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/90114752) in front of it. Dinner table goes on one side, sofa for the living area goes on the other...

Sounds good. Please let me know regarding pricing. I'm asking some furniture places where they're getting the glass too. My possession date is June 7 so I'll likely make the order the week of June 7 or a little after. I've got the same possession date too (but I won't be moving in until...

Abuyer, that sound really nice actually. We're looking to get cabinets too (either made or from a place like Ikea - though we did notice in Toronto we can really get some really good deals on custom furniture and shelving). I don’t think we’ll go with the fridge though. We’ll be spending quite...

Thanks. Haven't moved my stuff yet. I didn't know you could upgrade the counter tops. It might be quite costly though? Do you mind posting the price they give you for the upgrade if you get the chance? (might be more for us since from the photos it appears the 01 tower unit has more counter...

Sorry guys for the slow update. I've been bombarded with work since moving to Toronto last week. (40 e-mails this morning before noon!!) I'll be moving in first week of June too. I've got a SW 2 bdr unit (suite style 01) in the tower. The photos don't do much justice in terms of the space...
