No worries - that's good enough. I was more currious if there was an article in the news that I may have missed.

Their huge sign outside the sales office was removed (this past weekend) - which was a good hint towards the direction they were headed.

It's unfortunate - their presentation was very well done. That said, I think the general area already has a great selection of high-end condos that are available for purchase.

It seemed to me that they were trying to mostly compete with The Avenue. I don't favour one more, over the other, however I didn't see anything extra special at this project that would make me want to purchase here, rather than at The Avenue - which is well under construction and is looking great.

Oh well....it will be a while before my dream of living in one of these types of condos will hopefully materialize!

Excellent news. One less ugly stucco wedding cake the better.

Anyone want to purchase this site? BMO Capital markets is selling it.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall at that community consultation

$2 .... and i will keep it as a park. (until 2020, when it will be sold for $20 million in the next condo craze)

 

[urbandreamer]

$5, and I will put a WalMart with a homeless shelter on top.

Will resell the land to BJL in 2040 for $100 million.

oohhhh, a bidding war ... okay $7.50 firm and final !

to be even more generous, they can leave the presentation center there and save the cost of demolition. i'll use it as a pied-a-terre

sell it to BJL in 2040 ??? do you think he'll still be solvent?

 

[urbandreamer]

Hmm. Okay, I'll pay $1 million, and build BJL's dream home (architect Peter Clewes) and sell it to him for $5 million.

According to Urbanation, MarketVison Realty has sold the site to the State Building Group. http://www.statebuildinggroup.com takes you to Forest Hill Homes. All of State's 'communities' have thus far been in the suburbs.

State Building Group is the high-rise division of Forest Hill Homes

depending on how you define 'suburbs' .... State Building Group were the ones behind the the 3-tower Hillside project on William Carson Crescent, northeast of Yonge + York Mills (beside the Swiss Chalet + fire hall)

Naming a condo after a high school? Huh...

The Wentworth was such a hideous proposal and would have looked awful. I hope this new project is a tasteful modern design like The Avendale and/or incorporates the use of brick like some of those apartments on this underrated and consistent stretch of Avenue Road.
