Yes it is SOOO familiar. Could it be Roncesvalles around Garden Ave? ...great thread by the way.

True. But a purchaser would have made probably more than $60,000 by now (at least on paper). Beginning half-way up the tower, those tiny units become two-storey units. This was not the original plan but I guess the tiny units weren't moving well. Pics from this morning:

Is that still a piece of the tower crane on the south tower...? Or is it for some sort of antenna?

I'm not sure if this is the original selling price, but in March 2006 a studio suite at Casa (366 sq ft) started at $137,900.

So what's the story here? How could this take so long? Entire cities could be built in less time.

Is this the bridge at 401/Yonge where there has been CONSTANT construction for like at least 6 years now?

All excellent and thoughtful responses. But I'm waiting to hear some comments on what triggered this thread: Although androiduk is well-meaning, I can't help but feeling that I, as an able bodied person should be expected to fork over more cash because of my good fortune. I'd be...

Thanks for the pics. Looks like the hat is about to stand on its own. I'm curious how they're going to treat the lobby ceiling where you can see up to the amenities level.

^My point exactly. However, if anyone has any disabled guests who absolutely must get up to that raised portion of the lobby (which leads to no where) please call me and I'd be glad to help carry them up there.

Hmm. I think this is very debatable and I'm not sure a logical debate can be had here. (And if we do I invite you to start a new thread in general discussions). For instance, how would one calculate the weight of not being able to use the pool in the monthly maintenance fees? Should it be a...

So then there should also be special electronic lifts to help anyone who might need it into the hot tub and pool? I don't remember all buildings having this.

People... Really? Seriously? This is nothing more than a small, raised portion of the lobby with a couple of chairs. I can't believe there are worries about extra fire escapes and wheelchair access. Too funny.

It's more just for design and looks than for practicality. I do hope it's lit and painted in the same way as in that render though.

I always thought Monarch was one of the "good guys". If what you say is true then all buyers and potential buyers should know their sleazy ways.

I was just recently wondering what on earth is taking so long with this project and have been reading back through this thread (which didn't help much.) By co-incidence John Allemang just published this excellent update on the St. Clair ROW. Below is everything you need to know about the fiasco...

The Porter Air death watch is officially over MARCUS GEE Last updated on Saturday, Jul. 25, 2009 04:16AM EDT mgee@globeandmail.com Throughout their long struggle against common sense, opponents of the island airport always had what they thought was a surefire, slam-dunk argument. Even if...

Money flowing fast to Toronto's long-neglected eastern waterfront Posted: July 24, 2009, 6:07 AM By Allison Hanes, National Post In a muddy field saturated by driving summer rain, a fair hike from the nearest condos, office towers or transit routes, politicians from three levels of...

The glass installation seems to have stalled on the 40th floor for several weeks now. .....And how would the sales office know how many buyers intend on renting out their units later?

Yes. The top left corner is the Distillery. I would think so. It's just like the right turn lane heading southbound on Strachan to Lakeshore westbound lanes.
