That sounds like a very Virgo habit--yuck. That`s what cleaning ladies are for!

I`m starting to imagine the tasteless colour combinations Toronto buyers will choose here--red cabinets on a beige background? I`d personally go with a nice green on white, with perhaps large magenta vases etc to add a nice contrasting colour.

Being a cynic, I`m starting to think the builder is really just putting up an expensive future OCADu student dorm.

Agreed. There is very little space to store anything. I just went out and got one of these bathroom stands from Kitchen Stuff Plus. It's 4 tiered, so you can store enough items. You can even find 5 tiered ones. I have found it to be very efficient, if you do have the space for such a stand.

Looks like soil samples are happening, as the truck has done several spots over the past few days. Usually this is the first sign of construction looming. These were taken on Wednesday:

It could still be a while before they start. They just want to see what they will find down there once work begins.

Ya never really know. Either way, it is a positive sign.

2 building project. If you look at the pictures above, you will see there is a hollow plastic towards the right where the 2nd building can be seen going up.

^Oddly the current NCG ad says construction starts Fall 2012.

 

[AlbertC]

^ Yeah, just read that too. But Tower 2 is being released "soon". I guess they're going to start construction for both towers at the same time.

I love the rendering for Studio on Richmond.
