Question: do you think losing your view will affect the selling price of your condo? I'd be curious to hear opinions on this, especially from real estate agents.

It totally sucks but it would be egocentric to think that M5V didn't make the life miserable for SOHO residents the last 3.5 years. Bisha will make out lives miserable and destroy our view. Then Bisha will have some of their North view destroyed and our East view by the future condo going up on...

Bisha will start construction next year is what I was told. You should go to the model suite and ask the staff. The proximity to M5V is within reason even though it sucks for us. If you live in Toronto don't expect a view. Just as M5V blocked the view from Soho. Check out the building Charlie...

We had the same idea about renting the spot to somebody who works downtown so we could use the spot on evenings/weekends for friends and family. They said we can NOT rent the spots to non-residents. I think this is an issue that needs to be discussed further with M5V, as I own the spot and see...

Don't need a data stick if u got an iPhone. :)

PDI went well overall. The place felt a bit smaller in reality than the way it looked on the floor plan. I was disappointed that the terrace off our living room was raised up so high that they had to build a dinky step to access it. It kind of ruins the flow of the room. There was a cracked...

My brother uses an HD antennae (lives in Oakville) and claims he gets around 8 pristine HD channels. I would imagine you would get even more downtown.

@ KingEast The edge that looks like 'popcorn' is actually just the rough edge of the concrete painted white.

Thanks for the update. hearing that there WILL be an iron gate and treated columns makes me happy.

I agree that Lifetime has changed several elements that made people excited to live at M5V. Let's see if the do the right thing with the street front gate.

good use of space. the den and the balcony are a bit small. overall i like it.

Love the feature on M5V. Any more interior pictures that didn't make the article that you can post here?

If you are interested in giving your opinion on an M5V suite (1 bedroom + den) please see this thread: http://urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?17305-Opinions-on-M5V-Suite-748-sq-ft-1-Bedroom-Den

They look like permanent glass doors to me. The same ones i see on most condos (ex. The Morgan). I would doubt they are temporary because of moving in appliances. Usually appliances/equipment are moved in through loading docks and temporary elevators that are externally used for...
