At our condo meeting, Chris Harhay said that they had been negotiating with a "financial institution", although he wouldn't call it a bank, so I'm not sure exactly what that might be.

An interior design colleague of mine (who is friends with the Kiosk owner) also said that she understood from them that Kiosk was moving into that TCHC building.

Great! I hope that happens. The retail space has been vacant for so long now, that I feared the developer would lease to a pizza by the slice outlet just to get some cash flow.

But then I'd have nothing else to do after I'd gone down to drop off my garbage! ;-) Yeah, its something I should follow up on. I got the building super to agree to give the Globe & Mail the entry code to get them into the building, although he said that they'd only be allowed to drop off...

There isn't a garbage chute in the building. Residents have to take their garbage and recyclables to the ground floor "Recycling Room", where there is a door to throw garbage into a compactor, and a couple of bins for recycling. Its not super-elegant, but its okay. I presume it is an...

Yes, so it would seem.

You might check out Alleen's in College Park (www.alleen.com). I haven't bought there myself, but they have a showroom with a lot of samples and it isn't too far from you. They have an inhouse service too.

Looks great mousepotato -- you changed the bathroom door location I see? Your finishes work well together.

I would think that you could carry your sofa in through the door horizontally, or at last at an angle to the floor (so the door height isn't a factor) providing your suite plan doesn't have any tight corners once inside the door.

The corridors will be carpeted once everyone has moved in. The lobby will keep the polished concrete floor currently visible, which I think looks great. I checked out the lobby last night and it looks super with the high ceiling height, back-painted white glass paneled walls, halogen track...

I'm an owner, and that is what I saw during my PDI.

The concrete is a matter of taste, although it would seem that the developer did a very poor job in managing buyers' expectations about the amount of unfinished, exposed concrete. Judging by the comments from other buyers, it would seem that most were aware that the ceilings were going to be...

Myron will give you the Tarion package at your PDI inspection tomorrow. He'll give you the Tarion form for you to fill out with your observed deficiencies after he has given you a bit of a tour and explained some of the different building and suite features. I didn't measure the door, sorry.

Ultimately whether there will be concierge or not will be determined by the new condo board, and what owners are prepared to pay for. If you look at the 1st year budget for the condo that came with your purchase agreement, you'll note that there isn't a line item for the cost of a conceirge, so...

I'd be interested in what a lawyer would say on this...I'm not a lawyer, but also a purchaser at East. If you check your Disclosure Statement, section XVI (Rescission Rights Upon Material Change) defines what a "material change" is: XVI (2)... "material change" means a change or a series of...

Let's ask Google - it knows everything! from: http://www.mortgagesourcecanada.com/allaboutmortgages.htm Q What is a Mortgage Pre Approval? A A mortgage pre approval ( Pre - Qualification) is based on the initial information provided by you about your credit history, employment length and...

My developer only asked for the pre-approval letter, but I understand that credit is more difficult for developers to secure now. Probably this is a request from whoever is providing the construction financing to the developer. I'm not familiar with a "mortgage commitment letter" ... maybe...

In my view, the "special" bank mortgage financing available from a bank that has partnered with the developer is a bit of a mirage which helps the developer and the bank more than it does the buyer. I think it really exists in order to: 1) eliminate one of the barriers to buying, by...

Interesting to hear more of the details on this, thanks. I also own a suite in East facing east so it will be interesting to see how this shapes up. I would assume though that if a developer has bought the entire site, that they will (eventually) be redeveloping the entire site -- not just...

October 24, 2009 Pics Glazing is in most of the retail windows, and the balcony guard rails are up. The King St. sidewalk is in place now, and the Princess St. sidewalk is about ready to be poured. I'm curious as to what will be installed at the office entrance on King Street. Right now...
