Hi everyone.
I am new to this board and the forum in general. Although I wasn't even thinking to join, I just wanted to say that all I have read is a lot of negativity about this project and as such, I decided that I must chime in.
I happened to buy a suite at the VIP preview just this past weekend and I am thrilled about it. Granted, some of you are stating the facts--such as that this development is geared at those of us first home buyers or young (not so rich) yuppies, but other than that, I can't understand why you are all ragging on this development?
It's going to be well placed (in Etobicoke, yet close to Mississauga), incredibly attractive & well tailored to those of us who work hard during the week and don't want to lift a finger when they get home. I think the "everyday is a holiday at the Holiday towers" slogan is quite appropriate and resonates with everyone who has already bought a suite or suites in the development. Also, did it ever cross any of your minds that this development might be the start of a rebeautification process of the area of West Mall/Burnhamthorpe? Years back, the West Mall was exclusive and luxury. Is it too far fetched to hope that Holiday Towers might be the leverage the area needs to start rebuilding the foundation and esteem that the area once held?
For someone who has lived in Mississauga for the past 13 years, but who works in Toronto, my personal reason for buying a place in Etobicoke is PRECISELY because of the proximity of the development area to the TTC. Why would I spend in excess of $265,000 for a 500 sq. ft. 1 bedroom without a den overlooking Kipling station (eye sore) at Parc Nuvo when I can buy a place here for much less and for much more square footage, AND that will be ten fold more attractive looking?
Although, I admit the proximity of the condos to the 427 in horrendous at best, it is equally as enticing to those buyers who drive into work. I really can't think of even a couple of negative points about this place and I resent the fact that you are all bashing it into the ground....
