That is my biggest gripe in regards to a lot of developments - bland white doors. Those Masonite doors probably cost the builder what, a good $200 per door? It looks like a bedroom door. If they are going to use such bland Masonite doors, would it have really hurt them to go with something with...

I think a lot of these developers are brain dead. Do you really expect any animation from Cresford? Think of Charles St. - it could have been animated with restaurants/bars/patios, but instead it's animated with giant lobbies for condo's that add nothing to street level. It looks like they are...

There is a newer looking Mr. Sub in Pickering - Brock St. south of the 401. It even has a new looking sign and has plenty of seating. I haven't actually be in there to see if anything is different as far as the menu goes.

I was actually curious to know what had happened with Opus. I initially thought many investors backed out of the project after realizing that they have not made much money off their Discovery I+II investments. I am also curious how Mountain Co-Op will deal with traffic volumes. Could we be...

Pretty disgusting that a developer can get away with something like this. The white doors, disgusting. The flower beds, disgusting. Everything about the towns is horrendous. Looks more like an insane asylum. But that's how it works, right? I have many friends who bought into the developers...

More like, "Sh*t happens*. And that's exactly what this has become, a big pile of it.

That is the hope. Unfortunately, this area remains very car-centric. The hope was that Concord's Park Place would have caused a larger spike in ridership at Bessarion, but the fact is - most people in this area still drive. There is no parking available in Concord Park Place and a high demand...

Seems like there is a push to bring in more restaurants to the area as well. http://www.locatehere.ca/ Some pretty creative wording with this one, "No one wants to toss their own salad".

High-speed or not, it still doesn't solve the issue if an elevator goes down. Say someone has the elevator booked for a move in/move out and has their truck, which they paid for, waiting at the loading area. And say the other elevator goes down - what happens then? How to you rectify such a...

The 2 elevators will definitely pose an issue for the residents. I can't even imagine what will happen when one of those elevators breaks down and the other is in service all day for moves. Good luck to the concierge there! :)

300 Front was considered somewhat of an "iconic" address and look what happened there. Pretty much everything that Tridel has built in the city has been a disappointment. The rendering suggests "precast", which seems to be Tridel's bread and butter. Personally, I think precast looks tired. What...

I continue to bash Spandrel (Tridel) exactly because of this crap. Look at the disgusting amount of spandrel use on the scale models - how this is acceptable is beyond me. Looks like they had some leftover spandrel from their ACCOLADE project and will be putting it to good use here. Another...

It's not too bad, though I would love if Developers/Architects would start trying something different than the typical gray brick podium treatment.

This had potential. Way too much gray going on, everything from the gray brick podium to the top heavy gray spandrel/mullions. Turned out to be a complete mess.

Concord is known for using very poor quality products, everything from the flooring to the door knobs. It's really no surprise you are having issues, this is pretty common in all Concord developments. Since Tango is rather new, make sure to check your TARION warranty as to what may be covered...

He does make a valid point. This entire area is seeing a tremendous amount of over development, which is causing many of the values of adjacent properties to free fall. Everything is a sad shade of green or blue - there is nothing that pops out. Westlake's renders were completely false...

Pretty much. Driving by the Alto development by Tridel on Sheppard, I can already see their patented white precast going up. It's only a matter of time they start installing their world famous spandrel that they use on every other one of their developments. Argento, Aristo, Avani, Alto, 101...

In regards to the flood that happened, your insurance should cover any damages that occurred. Each building operates differently, but I can tell you first hand that when a flood occurs (whether it be overflow from a sink, a washer/dryer flooding or in your case a toilet flooding) security would...

The Village Residences at Bayview & Sheppard (Liberty Development) Saw the sign for this one while driving on Sheppard. It is by Liberty Development. Don't know the exact address. http://www.libertydevelopment.ca/community/village-residences/

A little off topic, but the Coffee Time that was previously at the North East corner is now an Eggsmart.
