See Kijiji ad #438794892 If you're looking for something not at all like a brand new condo. Spacious 2 bdrm, 1 bathroom, large rooms, four-storey walk-up, on Raglan Avenue in Hillcrest Village. Third-floor walk-up in attractive, 1930s brownstone. Steps to St Clair West subway, streetcar...

Can anyone give an estimate of the value in terms of price of a 2nd bathroom in a condo -- either a guest bath or a full bath? Thanks

The Toronto and East York Community Council web site has its agenda for Feb 14 meeting up. One of the items is a report on the Rise Condos and recommendation for a community meeting on the request for a zoning amendment. You can see it at...

Fully furnished, for comfort rather than style. You can walk to U of T in less than half an hour. The bedroom has a double bed and lots of closet space. The den has a high-speed Internet connection, desks, shelving, Wi-Fi and a printer. The LR with adjacent dining space is very comfortable...

I'm interested in the process that developers must go through with the city to get approval for their building design. As far as I know, Reserve's design has not been approved or even presented to the Community Committee that must approve it and aren't on the agenda for the next meeting. Yet...

There is a three or four storey building on St Clair W near Russell Hill Road intersection that is only half-built that has been shrouded in plastic for many months. It has obviously been abandoned for now. Does anybody have any information about this or is there a thread elsewhere related to...

That makes sense. Sorry, I was reporting what I was told by one of the people associated with the businesses that were asked to leave. He said the properties on the rest of the block but not including the library but I agree he can't be right about that. Thanks for the correction.

Where can I find info about this development? Reserve Properties has ordered businesses out of this corner so the convenience store and the smaller shops on Bathurst up to and including the produce store are gone this month. I was also told that Topcuts and the restaurant are gone in five...

Any owner can get a copy of the budget and ask questions about the cost of some services. However, my experience with a previous condo -- an old apartment building with few amenities, a full time superintendent -- is that condos with low maintenance fees are setting themselves up for future...

I'm signing documents with my lawyer tomorrow, July 20. I've been told what my maintenance fees will be but as much higher than I expected I have been trying to get the developers to tell me at what rate it was calculated. Despite a number of calls, no response. I too have many issues with...

I spoke to developers today. The building has been registered, documents sent to lawyers and owners will have about four weeks to arrange financing. This means we don't pay HST on the transaction. Transfer should be sometime around mid-July.

I decided to go with Bell. When I called them, they said there was a special deal for the building. I took a bundle that included home phone, high speec Internet and TV and they gave me a discounted rate, guaranteed for two years but with no contract. Rogers would certainly know that's what they...

Progress on 530 St Clair W The crane was for work on 500, but the latest update from the developers say that 'preparation to demolish buildings on the corner of St Clair and Raglan has begun.' The update also says that construction will start this summer.

Pdi It seems to me that when I got the first letter about the inspection it asked that I not bring anyone with me but no other mention of it that I can think of. The Tarion home inspection package says that you can bring someone if you want. My suite is one of the small ones but it took...

PDI for 500 St Clair W Hi I just did my PDI prior to moving into my unit next week. There were some changes to the plan that I didn't expect such as a lowered bathroom ceiling and no wall between the kitchen and the hallway. Generally the PDI went well but I found there were a number of...
