Thanks cdr108. I went to see the other three units with my agent and can honestly say that I believe that my layout will appeal to more people. The square footage in the other units is very similar but in all cases, the layout leads to more wasted space. In 2 of the three other units, the 2nd...

Will be listing my unit at West Harbour City Phase 2 in a couple of weeks after it closes and wanted to ask for input from the community as to determining the best price to list it for. Full details regarding the unit are available at a site I threw together (Go easy on me - I basically just...

I was speaking with someone who has some knowledge of the Phase 1 Registration process and was told that the builder learned a few things from that process that they feel will allow them to register Phase 2 much quicker. As with any letter from any builder that speaks to dates, I will take this...

Anyone else get a letter from Plazacorp today regarding building registration. They sent me a letter stating that they were aiming to complete closing/ registration in the next 60-90 days. I'm on the 23rd floor and my PDI isn't until mid-April and my occupancy date isn't until May so I'm...

Move in Date Letter from Plazacorp + Offer to Cancel Anyone else get a letter from Plazacorp this week? I have purchased a unit on the 23rd floor and got a letter from the builder yesterday giving me a target date of the end of May, 2011 for my move in. Anyone else get different dates for...

I believe WHC Phase I has registered so I doubt you will find any assignments...

A few pictures from late July of Phase 1 and Phase 2... The garden shot is the still under construction courtyard for Phase 1 while the shot of the builder is the construction crew working on the Phase 3 sales centre. You can see some details of the townhouses as well as the street north of...

I'll open myself up to some baching and by way of full disclosure, I have purchased a unit in Phase II that I no longer plan on moving into (due to the bulding delays - not for any other reason) but I actually kind of like the townhouses... I agree that they are a little different and can...

Walked around Phase 1 and Phase 2 earlier this week and was impressed with the progress made on Phase 2 and with the way the street directly north of the two buildings is coming along. Don't get me wrong - it's nothing spectatular but it was kind of cool just to see parked cars and light posts...

When I purchased in February 2007 I was given a date of December 2009 which I assumed would not be met. Last summer the date was officially moved to Novemner or December 2010 which frankly I assumed would slip as well given the pace of construction. I'm going to speculate that the March 31st...

Got a letter from Plazacorp today regarding my Phase II unit. They stated that the building has now risen to roof top level and that they expect that the roof assembly will be completed in the coming few months. They have extended my tentative possession date to March 31, 2011. They also state...

Thanks for the updated pictures. Nice to see the progress !! A few updates - WHC Phase 2 seems to be down to 4 units available for sale based on their updated website. 1 2BR+Den, 2 PH's and 1 Townhouse. (By comparison, Phase 1 Seems to have close to 20 units available.) The market seems to...

Thanks for the Phase II update. I used to walk past the site 2-3 times a week but recently moved and no longer have the opportunity so it's nice to see how it's coming along. My unit is on the 23rd floor - my personal guess on occupancy is sometime between April / May of 2011. Has anyone been...

I have a question for anyone with expertise in financing investment properties... I purchased a condo downtown in early 2007 for about $560K and put 10% down. At the time I was planning to live in the unit. I have since purchased a house and have no intention of living in the unit. I will...

West Harbour City Phase 1 Obviously just my speculation but it's possible that they will meet December 2010 for some of the lower floors. I'm basing that on Phase I. I believe that Phase I topped off in July/August of this year. I don't think anyone has moved in yet. There is a facebook...

Walked past Phase the building site this past weekend and I'm pleasently surprised at how quickly Phase II seems to be rising. I recall back in March that it had just cleared ground level and now 8 months later, we're almost at 20 stories. Figure another 4-5 months until it tops off (March or...

With land transfer tax and closing costs when you buy as well as real estate fees and legal fees when you sell, I believe that you will need the value of a condo to increase by a minimum of 10% over a one year period in order to break even. None of us know for sure what will happen over the...

Mods - please move if this is posted in the wrong section... Looking for a small 1BR condo in the downtown core to rent starting in January for about a year. If you have a small place that will be ready for occupancy in December or January and you want to rent it out until it registers and you...

A recent shot of Phase II Construction A picture of Phase II Construction taken this past weekend. The main tower is already up to 13 stories - approaching half of it's final height. I must say that it's going faster than I expected... Anyone in Phase I get a move in date yet? Anyone...

My advice, at least anywhere downtown, is to always buy an extra locker if you can. You can never have enough storage downtown. If you end up deciding not to use it, they are actually a decent investment. Most lockers cost $3500 these days, add $10 or so per month to your maintenance fees...
