The UHN scrubs are blue! And I didn't think Sick Kids was part of UHN? This building is massive. I felt it's heavy presence as I was walking by and actually felt a bit spooked (I don't know if that makes sense)....so I'm not liking the building right now. Maybe it will seem less overbearing...

very nice. thanks!

There must be some condos in that area that are relatively free of unruly ungrads? Anybody have suggestions? It might depend on the floor, but I live at One City Hall and I have not really had any problems in my current unit. Maybe one loud-ish party on a weekend night once or twice per...

Look for places that aren't staged or have horrible decor but good-great bones. Might be less competition.

what? when was the first suicide? I have not heard of that before.

The sky is falling in Toronto...this time at 1 Bedford, again

Sorry about that. Meant to say I've only seen two units when I've been in the units of friends, so I wasn't looking around assessing the specific floor plans or finishes. But based just on general impressions (nice units, but not extraordinary), I'm surprised the Met is selling at such high...

I've only seen two units, not in a real estate-capacity, and the units were very nice. But prices are higher than I expected compared to other buildings.

I've noticed the pieces in the Done Deals section are often from the same few realtors. Do they pay to be featured? Or are they the only ones submitting pieces?

Really wish they had incorporated some of the elements that are present at Yonge and Dundas (around the planters present in front of Best Buy). - elevated edges suitable for seating - bicycle posts Otherwise looks fabulous.

It is located in the C1 area near Bay St.

I'm not sure exactly since I do not have access to sold data, just the asking price. During the lull in early 2009, I purchased for ~$420 psf including parking and locker. Later in 2009, similar units were listed for $30+ psf more (again I don't have the sale prices). Since then, prices seem...

Anecdotally, well-priced units have been moving pretty quickly in the downtown area. I've been helping a friend look for a place. It's kind of scary how much things cost and what you get for the price. I purchased in spring 2009 and prices have gone up quite a bit since then, and I would not...

In winter/spring of 2009, this was definitely feasible. With all the new units nearing completion, you'll have lots of choice later on.

Did not look good when I walked by in person. Gives me a feeling of an institutional building....like something from the U of Waterloo campus (although I haven't been there for a long time now).
