As many may already know, Giraffe Condominiums by TAS had their appeal turned down at the OMB.
As a "former" owner in this development, I of course am saddened by the news. But I turn to the urbantoronto nation for help with a few questions.
1.) When an appeal is denied by the OMB, is that it? Cancelled? Or is there somewhere else they may appeal to?
2.) How long before a developer gives the buyers their money back? I seem to recall that the buyers of 1 Bloor had to wait a longtime to be reimbursed, but I could, hopefully, be wrong. I would like it back asap so I can throw it down on another place.
3.) Where the hell am I going to live now??? I doubt I wil be able to find another 960 sq ft 2 bed+study corner unit with S/E exposure on the 16th floor with parking & locker for $411K. Not to mention, fantastic TTC access. I'm now considering Art condos, 530 St. Clair, Liberty Place, 775 King West, X2, Sync and anything else I think may vaguely fit my price range. I'm willing to go a bit smaller to stay in a relatively central location, and possibly higher in price as well, to about $450K, but I am still in the market for either a 2 bed or 2 bed+den.
Thanks. Any insight at all will help.
