My electric bill averages $400 a month for 6 months (Enercare + Hydro), and this is with air condition not working most of the time, and nobody living there for the summer. Just wanted to find out if anyone else experiences unusual problems with electric bills.

In Europe most buildings are old or very old and they simply do not have a choice in the matter. Ventless is better than nothing. However some newer buildings do have vents; but there is not as much new construction going on there compared to here, and there are also some cultural expectations...

Does anyone in the building have high voltage electrical box in their kitchen cabinet? So far I was not able to get an answer from the builder why this is necessary and why it would not be behind the wall. They say it suppose to be like that. I find this strange and have never seen that in other...

What do you mean by more efficiency? Surely it is not a functional efficiency...takes several hours to dry a couple of towels. Do you mean installation efficiency? And are there any other condo buildings with ventless systems? I am not aware of any but I do know that ventless machines share...

Does anyone know why this building does not have vents for dryers? What could be the reasons that they opted for not building vents? Vents seem to be a standard feature in modern buildings. I have encountered their absence only in old buildings. My concern is that at some point they will stop...

I had my PDI today. The view was fantastic! But I was taken aback by poor quality of craftsmanship in the indoor work as a sharp contrast to the outside finish. Sloppy and careless. I am wandering who are the workers and if they have any training. The entire perimeter of the ceiling is peeling...

One of the Monde condos is a Million Dollar Bonus prize at Princess Margaret current lottery. One could see photos and virtual tour of an actual fully furnished Monde condo on their website www.princessmargaretlotto.com look for Bonus prize. It looks great!

I would like to see something like “Against the grain” or mid-range “Oliver and Bonaccini”, may be like “Canteen” something that is not comfort food, pizza, pasta, hamburger/sandwich type...something more healthy/modern.

I so much agree with you that competing with prep foods places at this time, and particularly expanding in this area could be a very serious mistake for BSM, they should rather distinguish themselves from competitors in the area which is already their strength, i.e. groceries. There is an...

Thank you for great analysis. I just hope that BSM is not going to change very much. I like the new McEwan and appreciate all the prepared foods but I am not planing to have take outs everyday not only because of the markups but dietary/health considerations as well, and sometimes you just get...

Occupancy is in progress!

The lobby is fantastic! Really impressive. Just like on the rendering.

I think the main appeal of the neighbourhood is that it is waterfront. That says it all. This what makes Harbourfront appeal as well. On a different note, does anyone know if parking will be equipped with electrical charges for car?

I thought some of these, may be the 3 larger openings on the west side (now filled with plants) were suppose to be some kind of hot and cold pools?

It does not have to be like that. Many buildings have no bikes on balcony rules. It depend on the management.
