That sounds just about typical for this project. Here a rough summary of what I've gone through since 2006 as well: - When the project got stalled, because of protests from 48 Abell residents, my unit was moved from the 5th floor down to the 4th with a worse layout and less square-footage and...

Thanks for the suggestion "Solaris" Had a lawyer look into it and under Tarion regulations there are 3 dates that the builder has at their disposal. The word "confirmed" when referring to the occupancy date, is standard language used under those regulations. So there's still one more date...

Agreed. There's too much "mice-type" in the contracts, permits and agreements that allow a builder to do whatever the "F" they want right up to actually breaking ground. I find it VERY difficult to believe that due to "the economic situation" or materials being "discontinued" this entire...

It isn't. I was being sarcastic. I agree 100% with you. They should have purchased the building and converted it to a Hard-loft space instead or something with redone artist studio space inside. Unfortunately they don't give a shit. Whatever makes them more money.

Yes they are. No one in the sales office would tell you that but a short walk to the lighting store in 48 Abell and a quick conversation with a store employee sure got the details out. Great news since my unit directly faces 48. Uninspiring? I think with what people have had to deal with with...

Sure, until they knock down 48 Abell to build the other condo. You'd think those mechanical units would have been a bit easier on the eyes.... oh wait, did those also get "discontinued"? Is there an upgrade option then?

I just got a letter stating a "confirmed" move in date of Sept 28. This is the first "solid" piece of info I've received so far. Again, my unit is located on the 6th floor in the lower (8-floor) portion of the building. Cutting it close with my wedding being within 2 weeks after that.

Yes, read everything fully as we've run into several issues with this builder and their minions in the sales office. There are several things that were never mentioned upfront that's been buried in all the paperwork like the wall height (not ceiling height) where we found out that there was an...

I'm on the 6th floor in the same section and my date was moved from July to Sept (can't remember the specific dates). I guess it depends where you're located in the building. Also, a good point was made that the street construction has too be finished before people can start moving in. I hope...

Anyone know the reason for the latest occupancy delay? It was July before and now it's September.

I was told September. It was July before.

Does anyone know what the reason for the latest delay is? Even though it's only 2 months, it's 2 more months to an already massive delay.

Seriously. When did this entire development go from cool and stylish to retirement home? I would be embarrassed to have those standard options. Upgrade 1 should be the standard at least. I also love how clueless the showroom staff is about the project. Another thing, my fiance picked out an...

Just have a bit more perspective, is all I'm saying. I do agree about the cheapening. I do get a bit ticked about the sudden lack of choices for the interior. The tile selections are very bland. I find it hard to believe that the manufacturer has zero colour options to offer because they were...

Hahah balcony counts, sure. I'm in the right thread. My fiance and I are moving into the building in July (takes that with a grain of salt). Do I wish the original design remained? 100%. Do I feel like vomiting from the redesign? Absolutely not. People need to remember that this year has...
