This is the floorplan(the 23'6" measure does not include the kitchen)http://www.550wellington.com/pdf/fp25.pdf

That floor plan square footage definitely includes the balcony, which isn't cool, and also doesn't make sense, as MikeMang pointed out, since the balcony size isn't even consistent across units.
The apartment is a 24' x 22' area (generously speaking), which gives us just 528 sq ft.

You abviously have never purchased pre-construction before...you sound like a little bitch. Relax dude. I hope to God you don't seek a board position...
oh I didn't know new condos were supposed to suck. Ya I guess you are right. I shouldn't care that my dishwasher and laundry machine still don't work and my condo is freezing and that half the finishes are damaged.
I have notified Freed that I want them to refund my occupancy fee for the period in which my appliances did not work (they still haven't fixed the laundry machine and dishwasher).
Does anyone moved in care that the concrete ceilings aren't cleaned and sealed?
The floorplan shows clearly 641 sq ft including interior walls, I am not sure how you are doing your calculation.

Ok, everyone take a deep breath. What is likely happening is that you are measuring from the inside dimensions of the interior walls which is not how they do it. You also have to take into account the entire depth of exterior walls.
Here is the link for Tarion bulletin (22) that governs how these measurements are made, and as you can see, the balcony is not included for calculations done under high rise unit. Read this and then determine your new sq.ft. and see if they are within the allowed 2% variance. Please report back.
S'Bus.

550 Wellington: when looking at your floor plan, you may notice a large pink square footage number in the upper left corner. On mine it says "641". Upon closer inspection of the floor plan measurements and a few quick calculations -- my condo - which I WAS TOLD was 641 square feet -- wait for it -- is only 531.
What happened to the missing 100 square feet you ask? Well my friend - that would be out on the balcony. So if you thought you paid X per square foot. Think again. Please check your floor plans, do the math with and without the balcony and see how it adds up. (It won't be easy because its not clear what measurements go with what walls)
I suspect that the same is true for all units. Talk about false advertising. Please post your results on here so we can see if the misleading floor plans of the 641 sq ft units are true for ALL 550 units - oops -- I meant 55 STEWART. God save us from greedy developers!
A resolution I have seen successfully completed is a few owners got together and hired a professional surveyor to come into their suites and measure it up. The report found that they were above 2% and were rebated on a sq.ft. basis. If you guys had the balls to do that, that would be a good option if you are certain that you have been ripped off.

Thanks SpadinaBus for that helpful advice. The floorplan is too vague to ascertain any definitive width dimension.
This may sound ridiculous, but I feel a major "fiasco" is imminent, or one should happen, to trigger the reboot of the pre-construction, floor plan sales practice.
