West One / N / The Gallery - 11 Brunel, 15 fort york, 15 brunel Montage and Neo are even worse. My nephew who is in his mid twenties, was looking into purchasing a unit at Cityplace. Being a suburbanite, he was curious and drawn to the Cityplace projects. Spending a few nights at Montage...

I'm a VR photographer. You've seen my work here. My portfolio and experience level is still too sparse so I'm offering my services for free, or in photgraphy terms, TFP. Who qualifies: anyone with a newer condo (10 years or less) on the subway line or downtown core I have not already...

Got back from the sales centre. I think it's great the courtyard looks like the brochure pictures (unlike Cityplace where it was completely different). Here's some photos of the updated scale model to compare: I did a virtual tour too. (I'm not Flat Fee Anthony, just the guy he...

I agree with Solaris. Been inside recently. You can view my recent photos: Pinnacle Centre Virtual Tour I also scanned the most recent pricelist for the Success Tower: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a Toronto VR photographer...

Pinnacle Centre, Waterclub, Harbour Square, The Soho (I think it is called that...not the Soho met, but the Soho off queen by HMV), 500 QQW, 550 QQW - the immediate ones that come to mind, speaking as a condo owner who grew up downtown, raised relatives downtown, and been to many of these...

I'm not seeing much for waterparkcity, but I'm also not seeing anyone lose their shirts, or lose significantly. Very neutral. The condo at the corner of bathurst also holding steady after a bit of a drop-off earlier. Anything with a pool has good appreciation downtown. Everyone loves...

I agree with Avatarreb. From all the condo sales centres I've visited, this is usually the case. A low-priced condo with the most common upgrades (floors, countertops, appliances) can cost much more than a condo with high-end features as standard. The higher-end condo also has better...

Why all the comparisons to the US? Maybe someone can shed some light, but from all the reports I've read and docs I've watched, the financial and real estate market closer resembling ours is Britain. - few ARM and sub-priming like Canada - same consumer debt-to-income ratio - lower...

Do you mean 1% of 300k is much less than 500k, so for 300k, alternative methods such as private selling should be more strongly considered? I agree with that. But his fees are tailored to be a little less than 1%, which is below other agents, so whether your property was 300k, 500k, or 2...

Sklar, you would be the better authority on Apex than I. :) Haven't been there for a couple of years, but I liked it. Still a lot of renters, but there are fewer now as the building matures. I thought the build quality seemed way better than the Matrix towers you are connected to...

I agree. The beautiful design didn't look cheap, but no one is willing to spend that amount for bridge. Until the Front St. side completely changes too, there's very little reason to spend that kind of money on a span hardly seen or used by anyone with no connection to Cityplace. How many...

I agree with you about Optima, and to some extent what's occuring with Matrix and Apex as more investors flip the older buildings to owner-tenants, but the numbers are definitely not similar in Matrix and Apex because I've spoken with the security workers. Optima is THE BEST building in...

I'm a former shopkeeper in chinatown who has been victimized like Mr. Chen. I also understand why Mr. Chen was arrested for kidnapping as a literal interpretation of the law, but the prosecution pursuing it and making the thief a crown witness, is beyond comprehension. Such an occurance is...

It's such a cop-out to say "it is a combination of both factors", so I'll lean more towards demand. Compared to before 2001, and even 2004, supply is still up when ratio'ed with population and income levels, but demand has skyrocketed. Everyone and their baby brother is snapping up real...

I think he meant riverside, or whatever it is called, but got it mixed up. Seems like an honest mistake to me. In the summers, I bike there, up to scarborough along the bike path so it is a ravine-like setting. Bit of an exaggeration, but not the worst I've seen. Some of the funnier ones...

Living high up in a condo, there's a lot that can go unnoticed. Speaking with management and the concierges of my complex (N, Gallery, West One), there have been incidents of attempted rape, sexual assault, shootings, and robberies this year alone. And these are only the reported cases...

Thanks for the pics Drum! It's nice to see they are now ready to build up from the hole. I scanned this from the sales material. It's their rendering of the courtyard: --------------------------------------------------------------- to go inside: Victory Condos Virtual Tour

This is important: do you have a car or plan to drive around on a regular basis? As a downtowner relying primarily on public transportation, walking, and cycling, living at WaterparkCity is not ideal. Infrastructure in the area is completely lacking. There are no supermarkets close by...

I've worked with real estate agents and been behind the scenes of sales centres to know it is highly recommend you get your own agent, not the seller's agent. Please read this article that goes into it in great detail. It's about preconstruction, but the rules apply to resale as well. Some...
