Realistically, what are the odds of this project, 50 Bloor west, Oxford, and Mirvish to name a few, all being built. It seems unlikely the city, and market place will allow all of these ideas to become reality. It would be fantastic if they were all approved and under construction within the...

I can't imagine the cost. The World Trade center tower in New York is using some new super hard concrete in it. The core with the elevators 100+ stories high is 6' thick. Imagine the cost of that. Cement companies in Toronto must be working 24/7 just trying to keep up with the demand in this...

The growth spurt in many countries around the world is fueled by oil, aka Dubai. In China it's government spending. There are now cities in China that were built with the expectation of people moving in from the country. That never materialized and they sit empty. In the west where construction...

The Bank of Canada is now sending out warnings about a surplus in the market and potential problems, yet real estate people see a drop, but nothing to fear. Is it fear mongering? This could drive away potential investors and make the sales drop even more dramatic...

You've got the right, positive attitude to beat this thing. Mind over matter and all that. Keep it up and have a great Christmas.

I have to agree on all counts. The fact that FCP has been the dominate tower all these years is a testament to boring buildings. It's great things are changing. The boring green glass condo craze can come to an end anytime. I hope at least one of these projects get built, but I'm not holding my...

My wife, being the big mall shopper in our house, has stated many times over the years that all malls, in Ontario anyway, comprise of the same stores. When we vacation in the States, she likes the differing variety. I could care less. I find Target a glorified Zellers, and never usually buy...

You could put a Tim's in there and draw people for miles. Brew, Bagel & Bedsheets.

Nice looking renders, but this is far from ever being approved. I'm sure if the casino is turned down for this project, the whole thing will collapse. With city hall in a quandary right now, who knows when they will even make a decision. Even the Mirvish project has a lot of nay sayers, as sad...

I can,t figure the 2018 number either.

As was just reported on Toronto blogspot: http://torontoskyscraper.blogspot.ca/ Of the 600 units released, they have sold 88% of them. Could a request for more floors be that far away?

So now what? Six months for rezoning approval, assuming the OMB doesn't get involved. Then 6 months for the planning application and adjustments to be approved. Then 12 months for sales to get to the magic 60% or whatever they deem necessary for the financial end of it. We could be looking at 2...

I guess we can expect to see "door" "wall" "pile of stuff for building with" and other bits of info as this progresses. All we'll need is a photo, and the wording spray painted on the site will be self explanatory. That is a novel way to plot the course of a new high rise, and great for the...

I think i agree with your agreement to come here and disagree with other posts, whether you agree with them or not. I guess that is your right in a free democratic forum. I am going to look for something to disagree with you somewhere on this website. It may be a while.:cool:

Some people on here are getting pretty excited about a project that hasn't even been given the go ahead. Although the posts are interesting, as is the project, it might be time to take a deep breath, and give the personal attacks a rest for now. If this proposal is ever approved, we can all get...

The speed at which this one is going, the outside occupancy date will likely be reached before the building is finished. If i read this correctly, there could be a lot of people in a position to pull out.

lol. That's funny, but i didn't buy one. If i did, i'd be asking for my money back. On that note, is there some way to opt out of the deal seeing as they are so far past the completion date? There is a builder fine for single family homes when they go past the occupancy date on the contract.

Anyone have any idea when this project will be presented to council for approval, rejection or whatever? The oxford proposal with the casino and now Kyle Rae may take some of the attention off this project, and maybe, just maybe, they won't demand too many changes to this project. It's a long...

I would agree 100%. Location, cost psf and aesthetics will be major factors. This may keep cheaply designed condos off the market.

I'm sure by Christmas we'll have a good idea of how the market is going to respond. I wonder how many potential buyers will now wait for the result of the Mirvish and Oxford proposals before buying anything right now? Anyone who wants a place within the next 3 years will buy now. Any investors...
