I'm really surprised by how many people don't like this building. It might be a bit large, but I actually think it suits the area quite well, especially compared to many of the bland glass towers that litter the city. Image owned by Strata

I think it's a combination of price and population density. In terms of prices, Vancouver is really the only comparable to Toronto as real estate in large cities like Montreal and Calgary isn't as expensive. I think what separates Toronto and Vancouver is the fact that the Golden Horseshoe is so...

Oh I know, and that's very concerning.

No easy solution, for sure. And you're probably right that at some point these units will become less profitable for investors. Even $3000 a month for a 2 bedroom is an insanely high price.

Yeah, I'm referencing size not price per square foot, unless i'm misinterpreting your post. It's been my understanding that smaller condo units have a higher price per square foot and don't often translate to significant savings when it comes to rent?

For sure, the city needs a lot more of this. The units look pretty nice too, although a little small from what I've seen: I don't think I could live in a 692 Square feet 2 bed but maybe I'm just old lol.

I get that. I've stumbled through there after 1am on a few occasions and felt a little uneasy too, not so much in the square but in the surrounding area. All the same, nothing has ever happened to me there.

Lack of winning has no impact on Leafs fans, we'll take that abuse all day long.

Damn, it looks like they have lots of work to do. I'm sure it's possible to have it finished for the opener but they'll be cutting it close.

If more people take the same approach then they might get it. Sending a message with your wallet is pretty much the only thing these companies understand.

lol couldn't have said it better myself. ?

As part of the skyline it doesn't look that bad. But the full view from street level is a whole other story lol. https://strata.ca/slate-image/property-images/352/01_8TheEsplanade_L_Tower_Condos_Exterior-2000.jpg

Agreed, it also doesn't look right at from street level, like something is missing.

As much as I would love to see them come down, my money is on prices continuing to rise over that period of time, especially for condos. Rent is so high right now it makes mortgages seem reasonable. Plus, Toronto's population is increasing faster than any other city in North America so the...

Well at least there will be food trucks. Still, very sad to see it go.

Strata.ca image Yeah they effect looks great from a distance. I would love to see more of these for glass towers.

Harry's is closing :(

What!? That's horrible. I love that place... Damn, I guess rent is eating them alive just like everyone else in the city.

Job market will pick up there for sure. I keep hearing about real estate in Windsor and how hot it is so I'm sure things will only continue to pick up there. If you like it then you should stay. The cost of living in the GTA is crazy and there are plenty of great places to live outside of it. I...
