Amazing and really enlightening shots from the photographers around here. I'm probably moving from Minto Quantum 2 to the downtown area soon. This building and Six50 King have really captured my attention. Was in both yesterday, and I have to say some of the unit designs in Charlie are really...

Got one last night from far too close to the building but it will give some idea of the look. I'll post when I get a chance to upload it.

Thanks! I will send pictures if/when I ever furnish the place properly. Right now it's just got all my old furniture and I don't have nearly enough to fill it. Anyone know good interior designers?

Thanks! I am starting to get a pretty good impression of the various elements of the building, minto, construction, the board, etc. I've also gotten to the point where I know based on unit number how big a suite someone owns, which will probably lead to terrible snobbery down the road but is...

Quantum 2 Floorplans A follow-up to the floor plan question, I was able to track down most if not all of the standard floor plans. 1 BR: The Everest The Liberty 1BR + Den: The Empire The Niagara The Eiffel 2BR / 2BR + Den: The Sydney The Golden Gate The Big Ben

The links are gone but the PDFs remain on minto's website. Behold the Empire: http://mintomidtown.com/north/pdfs/TheEmpire.pdf Also, for fun, my layout: http://mintomidtown.com/north/pdfs/TheBigBen.pdf

All fair points. This is currently pretty low on the priority list. First up is getting a few dings in the floor taken care of by the builder.

I've looked into this since getting my mild slap from Urbandreamer and apparently this sort of work is pretty common, but might be a bit messy. I'll let you know if I find any contractors who might be suitable, should I try to take on an upgrade.

That's some kitchen, but somehow I think Minto might have charged me a small upgrade fee for it. Conservative? Probably. But given my options, I am still happy with it. There wasn't much I could have chosen that would have been considered funky. I think that if you're buying new, there's...

That's actually not a split...though when I looked at it I saw exactly what you were talking about. It's an illusion, created by the angle, lighting, and the resampling of the picture (the original shows what's actually going on). The covering is two panels, but the gap is covered by a...

Pictures Well, the floor was dirty and the thermostat was in the expected ludicrous spot, but otherwise the unit was in pretty good shape. The view is way better than advertised given I'm not high enough to see over the south tower or the CT buildings. This was the best surprise of the...

PDI Tomorrow For anyone still waiting, I will be getting my first look at my 2+1 tomorrow. I hope to take some decent pictures and will get them up ASAP.

August 22nd would be nice...congrats. I got October 10th. I'm about halfway up though, so I figured I wouldn't be in the first group.

Panicked too soon. I forgot that I took care of this eventuality; there's an opt-out clause in the final lease. Off-topic though...I'll just go back to admiring the building.

What what what?? Summer? Where is this coming from? I just signed a 1-year lease! Ack!
