Montage and Neo Condos (Concord CityPlace) - Real Estate -

[Solaris]

Construction Update 20060910 - Lots

Hey im just wondering if there is a possibility of a developer building any new 12-15 story buildings just north of Montage. S/W corner of Spadina and Front and along Front street over the Go train rails all the way to Bathurst St. it sure would look good with some commercial buisness,maybe even a new wide sidewalk.

I recall in the original renderings of Cityplace (when Concord Adex first released it), the plan showed 5 towers along Front Street, 4 east of Spadina (now the Matrix + Apex complex), and one west of Spadina ... I'll see if I can still find that picture

There was supposed to be a tower directly at the southwest corner of Front and Spadina but I cannot recall reading anything about it for the last few years.

Congratulations, with your PDI. Did you happen to notice if the ceilings were smooth or the popcorn stuff? I heard that they are smooth, which I am surprised as most developers prefer the popcorn approach as it is cheaper and quicker, usually an upgrade.

Were you able to see any parts of the building other than your Unit?

Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Did you notice the granite/marble counters and windows? My marble? bathroom counter had scratches everywhere but they refuse to change it. The windows had some sprayed paint on it and I ended up having to remove them myself. Better be careful of parking location too if you have one. I couldn't get mine changed.

Wow. More proof Concord Adex are evil.

No it was smooth through out ..there was actually a small knick in my ceiling that they are fixing/repairing..
as for other parts they are not deemed "safe" so they did not walk me through ..i liked the lobby though

no my counter tops were fine in both bathroom and kitchen ,, as for the paint on the windows it seemed fine i had some minor paint on my back splash which they said they would fix up .. there also were some minor alignment issues with my sliding door into the bedroom minor in nature .. but once again i noted it .. over all there was nothing really major ..

How did you manage to check your parking spot when Parking and Amenities are not ready yet ?

Must be another building .. i guess

 

[AKS]

yea, I was at another building (west one). I was one of the late movers into the condo (and a good thing at that. I heard early movers were sept/oct. The building didn't close until july/august). They showed me the parking but I didn't take notice of it until much later. Next time I buy a condo I will look for where it's location. There were problems with it. (pipe burst and dirty/wet the area. now rust stains on the wall. Too close to fan so it's dusty and noisy)

I saw some red dots there. Just to note, unless they're like visible cracks and stuff, chances they won't do anything about it. Also, does your screen door in the balcony lock? mine doesn't. I told them to fix it and they just hammered a bit here and there and said it's fixed. Still doesn't lock. I suppose it's not a big issue depending if you are picky. But during the winter, the screen door blows up. It's pretty windy in the higher floors. Also see if your glass cracks during the winter too. You need to live through it to test out these problems. One of the top glass panels cracked on mine after a snow storm.
