Backstage ground breaking took place this past Saturday May 14. A gloomy day but that didn't keep the spirits down.

The event began with a short introduction by Hunter Milborne, who's firm handled the sales for the tower.

Preparing for the ground breaking.

Getting ready for the big moment.

Hey who invited Urban Toronto?

The banner rising.

Backstage built in one day.

Time for some drinks.

I called the sales office and there is only 1 of the 531 sq ft one bedroom floorplan left on a high floor for $404,000 or $760 a foot

What a joke.

I don't know whats going on but the market paid top dollar for it.
L Tower blew out the last 2 of the 536 sq foot model on low floors in the 380k range

Anyone knows when colour selection will take place?? it seems they are running a bit late with it..

 

[Newintown]

I got a call for color selection today. Have you got a call too? Which floor are you on?

I did not get a call yet...is it true the kitchen selections will not be downtown?

 

[TorontoMike$$]

My colour selection appointment is tomorrow. I think kitchens are a different appointment.

Would appreciate it if you could give us an overview of what choices are available and how they do it...

 

[Condo George]

I will be there today, colour selections will be out of Pier 27 sales office.

Anyone with 2 Bedroom/2 Bedroom + Den assignments here for Oct 2015 closing?

 

[TorontoMike$$]

Recently did my colour selection. I found the choices to be about average to slightly above. It seemed like Ltower finishes were level 1 and in some cases level 2 upgrades but still above average compared to other colour selections i have recently done.

It's really great to see how Backstage is progressing!

A favour to ask... I am abroad for the next few months (can't wait to be back home), if anyone is going for the colour selection soon (or took photos while doing it), could you kindly post them up on here? Alternatively if anyone has a contact who is working at the office there, it would be great if you could PM me an e-mail address so I can ask them.

Also, any suggestions would be great, sometimes these finishes look a lot better in person than they do in photos.

Occupancy moved to late January.
