Thanks probey! I read your post and I guess we have the same amendments: - Section 16(a), cap to $1500+GST - Section 16(r), cap to $3500+GST for 1 bedroom + den

Additional amendments to the agreement of purchase & sales Today is the last day of my cool-down period. I went to the sales office and signed additional amendments: - cap the park levy and/or other contributions to $2000 => section 16(g) - allow to transfer the agreement to any immed family...

I went to the sales office today. It's now 70-75% sold.

Amendments to Purchase & Sales & Schedules Hi newbuyer, I met with my lawyer today. There are 15 amendments on the schedule "Y" document. From your experience, how flexible was the builder/sale office to discuss these amendments?

Thanks probey for sharing your research info. I agree, at least nothing bad so far. I found one more piece of info. El-Ad is a member of CHBA: http://www.chba.ca/FindMembers/details.php?Company=EL-AD+Group+%28Canada%29+Inc.&HBA=BILD

Below is what I got after today's research. Not much info found on EL-Ad. Two of Every Five Condominium Buyers in the Greater Toronto Area Would Buy from a Different Builder http://www.jdpower.com/corporate/news/releases/pressrelease.aspx?ID=2009170 2009 New Condominium Builder Customer...

Thanks cdr108. google works. I found an article in NY Times. Article: Condos, Brand-New Yet Not So Perfect http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/26/realestate/26cov.html Blog: The Link - 310 West 52nd Street - Condo - by Costas Kondylis Most of the issues had been fixed after 1+ year...

Thanks probey. I don't think there will be any free upgrades. I guess the builder will let us know when they will be ready for color selection/upgrades. The lawyer reminded me that any upgrades would increase the price of the condo. If the purchase price would exceed $400K, there would...

El-Ad Today, I met with my lawyer. He had high concerns about the reputation of El-Ad. He mentioned I should buy from builders with good reputation like: Tridel, Monarch, Menkes, Times... After 75 mins consultation, he gave me a chance to walk out of his office without charging me if I would...

My agent had requested for numerous upgrades but Karen said the builder would not consider any free upgrade requests and I would have the opportunity to ask for upgrades later. I went to the sales office to pick up the paper work on Sep 27. The last Poppy unit on the 4th floor has been sold...

CT now occupies 16 or more floors @ Yonge Eglinton area in 2 or 3 buildings.

Thanks for all your good advice. I am not alone as I see probey had a long debate too. I agree with newbuyer that Emerald City has better layout. And I found Solaris' pros & cons analysis very insightful. I like the Ultra 2B layouts but the price is totally beyond my budget. I am leaning...

You guys are amazing. You have more info than my agent. And I am very thankful. My agent did ask for many things: free locker, free upgrades, discount... But no luck. I requested to waive the assignment fee but also no luck. The only amendment to the paper work was 2-month delay for the...

Thanks probey & newbuyer. Poppy 13th floor unit was sold yesterday. But the 4th floor unit is available today. I didn't go for it. I put in an offer for Azalea 31th floor unit (it was not available yesterday). Just got $10,000 cash back, 1 year metro pass and 2-month delay of the 2nd & 3rd...

Thanks probey for your suggestions. On the preview pricing sheet, parking is included in the purchase price. Locker is $2,500.

Hi newbuyer, Thanks very much for posting the picture. According to Karen, the new rental buildings A2 & D1 will be 7 storeys building. The existing rental building A9 is 17 storeys with 8 ft ceiling.

Thanks newbuyer, Solaris & cdr108. I've been to the sales office today. According to Karen, it's now 70%+ sold. For Azalea, units above 25th floor are sold out. For Poppy, only the 13th floor is available. For the 4th floor Poppy unit, the price has been increased from $276,900 (May 17...

You have good observation. I don't know the area. I currently live in a house in Markham area and want to move to a condo with direct TTC access to reduce travelling time. I am considering the available highest floor. It sounds like Azalea may be better as it's facing 401.

Airborne Sound from Traffic @ Emerald City I am new to UT and I am looking into buying a 1+den unit that has less airborne sound from traffic. Thanks for the info in this thread. I've learnt that Poppy is a great floor plan. And I also like Azalea as it is pretty standard. Could you please...
