Some of the new units might actually be a redistribution of existing units (eg; a few two bedroom units become pairs of bachelors, or something like that).

I heard the extra units will likely be mid-building - something a bit easier to sell than penthouses.

If someone gets hold of the price list of the new units or hears about the sq.ft. price, then, I would appreciate if this information is posted on this thread.

So does this put it above Scotia's roof level?

Aura at 75 storeys => 264m roof
+ 3 x 3m => 274m roof
Scotia: 274.9m
So I think it will be very close, but unless the roof is redesigned, I suspect that Scotia will still just edge out Aura.

I just spoke to Riz who is head of marketing at Canderel. The word from him is this is NOT happening.

So you are saying that this from city planning yesterday is BS.
I say, Mr Riz isn't spilling the beans.

Perhaps Riz isn't saying anything in case their application is rejected?

He has to say that Ed, but obviously one of Riz's bosses is making something happen down at cityhall and he is not allowed to speak about it or confirm it, because there might be some outcry and community backlash. They were probably hoping this could stay quiet a few more weeks before an announcement would have to be made.
And also why confirm it if the city might reject it.

Just telling you what I was told. The rest of you can draw your own conclusions, which you obviously are.

Nice find androiduk.
When will the city review this application and officially respond? Is there a set date? Are we looking at weeks or months?

No, they decided to stick with 75 floors due to financing issues. Canderel executives have stated that Aura is engineered to support another 10 stories...

But Michael La Brier, president of Canderel Stoneridge, said his company could add up to 10 more storys... "When we had the building engineered, we had everything so we could add up to 10 more floors to the building" said Mr. La Brier.
