I didn't realize there were plans to tear down the existing structure. I though they were just planning on using the existing. Interesting if they are in fact planning on tearing down and rebuilding... Guess that block is going to be a mess for far longer than I originally thought.

Brilliant - thanks!

Can anyone recommend some good breakfast places in the area? Looking for relaxed atmosphere, non-chain restaurants. Found Grapefruit Moon on Bathurst by Follis - and liked that a lot. Any other places that are similar? Thanks!

You'll get no disagreement from me when it comes to living in the unit. The place we just moved out of (and are selling) is only on the 6th floor and has a relatively crappy view. We didn't care (views are overrated). It had a massive living space and that's what mattered - and living there was...

Makes sense now... $500 psf is great! However if that's the underground parking laneway and it's a low level unit, I'd be a bit concerned. What floor are you looking at? How low? And no, I'm not interesting in buying myself - just interested in the project. :) We had our chance to get in last...

Just to add... Are you buying primarily for resale purposes?

That's a hard call. Not sure there's anyway to know for certain how close 525 is going to be until both buildings are actually up. I agree with you about the views (nothing is guaranteed in downtown TO) - I would just be worried about the proximity (i.e. can you reach over and pass a beer from...

I was just about to say the same thing. The development next door is going to block the view to the east (much as one eleven has done the same to 650 to the south). The one eleven penthouse we were looking at last year had a large terrace with an east and north exposure. East exposure is now...

Did anyone here attend the VIP opening?

The penthouse we were looking at 5 months ago was over $600 psf. Maybe prices have dropped since then... I had the floorplans for all of the penthouses but don't anymore. All are two floors with bedroom(s) on the lower and living area + terrace on the upper.

Looks like the presentation centre should be opening very soon. They've painted the exterior of the building and are in the process of building a new entrance. I was seriously looking at one of the penthouse unit about 4-5 months ago but changed my mind and went for a house instead.

Security is also a big difference for me since my husband and I like to travel (and both of us sometimes travel for business - although almost never at the same time). We'll definitely be getting a security system if/when we get the house...

Definitely house. This is us exactly right now (work downtown, married but won't be having kids) - except our borders are a bit different. We have been living in a downtown loft for the last five years. It's been great - but now we're house hunting. We love the downtown life. So the house will...

IMHO the focus of this article (the single mom with three kids) made a poor investing decision and didn't look into things sufficiently before committing. It's got nothing to do with the Trump Towers - it's just poor decision making on her part. Rob P - I would love to see photos when you...

More tabloid drama today: http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1108666--star-exclusive-distraught-trump-condo-buyer-wants-out?bn=1 By Susan Pigg Business Reporter Alice Batista readily admits she was blinded by dollar signs and slick advertising when she dialled up the Trump...

My comments on the building selling come from a place of absolutely zero expertise. It's just one of the things my husband and I started worrying about (given the number of new builds in the area) when we were considering purchasing one of the penthouse units. When you start thinking about...

That was one of our fears as well with so much going up in the area. They told us the project was scheduled for completion in 2015. We figured it would likely be more like 2016 or 2017 - if it sold at all. I did have all of the penthouse floors plans at one point - but can't seem to find them...

This project is being sold by Brad Lamb. My husband and I had an early look at penthouse floor plans (fluke - this kind of stuff usually never happens to us). We even had our name on one of the penthouse units for about a month (unofficially - paperwork wasn't even ready at that point). We...
