Roy Leffell went to visit his mom at her old-age home on Mother’s...

Seems like the local press has only focused on the repair side of things:

It's actually way more than that in inflated dollar terms. Using an inflation rate of 2% the $300k unit should be worth $331k 5 years later. If it is only worth $280k then you've got a loss of $51k...

Confirmed by my builder moments ago:

Please be advised that the Drywallers Local 675 of the Carpenters Union in Toronto began striking on Monday May 6, 2013.
As per the Tarion Addendum to...

So I got a letter from my builder stating the following:

Please be advised that the International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) in Toronto began striking on Wednesday May 1, 2013. As per...

I received a letter today saying they were no longer able to provide an accurate occupancy date because of the recent elevator workers strike. I wonder how much this will delay this project or any...

We'd be neighbours if you did

No no. There's a thread with construction updates that i've occasionally added updates around moving occupancy. The most recent letter was received a couple weeks ago with a new date for me of Oct...

^^ What he said

If you sold it now or next year technically you would pay tax (50% as a rental property) as its not your primary residence.

If you moved back in it would have to be for 6 months before you could...

I'm liking it. I think once all the brick is done the front will look great.

I'm on the top floor and just got my occupancy pushed back to Oct 9. My math says people would start to move in on the...

So here's an interesting question...Are the notice periods laid out in Tarion listed in business days?

Here's my situation:

* In december I received a notice from the builders lawyers stating...

So how bad was it?

I'd be curious to know the price per square foot the quote for smooth ceilings.

^ Wow...its coming along very well. I'm still shocked that I have yet to be called for any upgrade / colour selection meetings.

Unfortunatly that back brick wall is going to be tagged all day...

Ummmmmm...is that baby blue???

Just got an update pushing my tentative occupancy to August 1, 2013. Still no upgrade / colour meeting.

Does that make sense for them to have that strategy? I'm sure it's a push to get the crane down but once the roof is done they have to commit to an occupancy date. From what I've seen most buildings...

So I know you can't tell 100% from the pics but is it just me or do the top 2 floors look the exact same height as the floors below? I ask as they're supposed to be 10 foot vs 9 ft. That would be a...

Any cladding yet? I was by last weekend and it looked like they were getting the east side ready for brickwork.

Also there still hasn't been an upgrade / colour meeting yet.

Great pics urbandreamer! Are they up to 9 already?

I'm kinda shocked that they're as high up as they are without starting any brick work or having any glass installed.

Shocking. Got a letter pushing it to April 9, 2013. Still no upgrade / colour meeting call.

I got a reply from Ralph today saying end of November for colour / upgrades.

I would have thought so. In addition I had 2 structural things that they signed off on but didn't provide me a price. Both of them they said wait until the upgrade meeting and we'll figure out the...
