Toronto Tower at Pier 27 | 114.9m | 35s | Cityzen | a—A

I understand your point. I just do not agree with it. Once closing takes place, developers have all the money owing to them. The incentive to complete unfinished work evaporates immediately. See ICE for example. Over a year since closing and the Plaza and entranceways are still not complete. Freed's building on King (629?) was a complete disaster on closing. And the workmanship !!!!!

As for L Tower, it would appear from Press reports and the occasional brief casual observation, many as noted in the building's UT Forum, amenities were non-existent, not just incomplete. The completion of the Yonge Street face was years after closing.

Q. how big of a challenge is it to give buyers a front door that works and how long can it possibly take to fix it so that it works?

I believe it's reasonable to get everything you pay for when you pay for it in full. And I also suggest the foot dragging is deliberate. And wrong. And fixable if the Provincial government had any honest concern for the huge and growing number of people who purchase a condominium.

I think part of the problem is that the City issues occupancy permits too soon but I assume they are issued based on things like safety systems, running water (from the taps not the ceilings!) and not things like amenities.

"taps not the ceilings" hahahahahahaha.

Again, you're going off on a tangent that I am not addressing. This thread-within-a-thread started with you wondering how long it might be before the land to the west of the Tower is transferred to the City so that the park can be built. To do that, the developers will not have to address every deficiency in the common areas and suites. They will likely clear that area once the last drywall is up inside and the last cladding panels are installed on the exterior. Fixing deficiencies will not take any substantial footprint outside, so should not impact the timing of turning the land over.

You were also wondering if there might be penalties for turning it over late to the City. My response was that there are unlikely to be penalties here as this development plan has been in place for many years now. That is all that I have been addressing in my response, nothing else that you're reading into it.

Thanks, pity they are trying to squeeze in as much as they can, some open space on the north side would have been nice.

There will be a park right across the street on QQ as par of the 1 Yonge redevelopment!

My main concern here is that we'll be getting two more glass cubes with white accents. This will struggle to become an inviting neighbourhood without a little diversity in colour and materiality.
