Well that's a relief. But to reiterate tampabay's question, what if there was an amendment signed? Does the amendment date take the place of the original agreement of purchase and sale date?

I never received an amendment. My lawyer was sent a letter stating the new closing date, and when I asked him if I had to sign anything he said there was nothing to sign. In terms of the HST provisions, someone told me that they are triggered based on when you close, not on when you sign your...

Arriving late to this discussion, but I totally agree with Mongo. The frequency with which some posters make their views known, and the support which they give each other's similar views, does create a 'norm', and I think when opposing views arise, the 'strength in numbers' feeling emboldens...

I have to agree. Very disappointing layouts. The dreaded 'bowling alley' long, skinny plans with a window at the far end, and long hallways all down the units eating up the precious sq footage (sold in every plan as 'gallery walls!'). The bedrooms are only 7' wide, and they show the bed...

Thanks interchange!

Are YOU serious? God I hate it when people on this site accuse people who have different opinions to them of being 'undercover' employees or they must have a 'vested interest' just because they don't happen to share your view. Reading through this thread I would say your comments are far more...

Hey moderator, You moved a bunch of posts from some of the purchasers here to a real estate thread, and now that thread seems to have disappeared. Can you put it back?

Awesome sketchups Wylie! I think this tower looks less dated thn the old design with those superfluous fins. It's a classic boxy tower, like casa, 18 yorkville, and other nearby towers that are very admired on here, but it adds a new look that stands apart. It's not the most original design...

A friend of mine just went through a bidding war to try to get a one + den unit at London on the Esplanade tonight. list was $339,900 and she went back and forth with the seller, with another competing buyer, and stopped at $345,000 and she lost it. apparently she could have got it if she had...

Hey Jaguar, we should totally celebrate! I think we may indeed have the same unit, but you're higher than me, I'm on the 24th floor. the view from the 50th should be incredible. Usually the digging and foundation seems to take the longest time, and then the tower part goes up fast. However...

Thanks for the summary yonderbean.

Does anyone know if there is any update on this?

Apparently a revised proposal has been submitted which reduces the building to 5 storeys and also steps back from the next door church. i'm curious to see the new design. Does anyone have a copy of it? People here seem to know how to find the City planning renderings.

How do you post pics on here? I work in building right next to the Hudson and have a perfect view of the Charlie site from my office. It actually totally depresses me because right now I have a perfect view on the CN tower and the sky from my office, and soon I'll be walled in by Charlie. But...

The price psf at M5V is 650 (I was just in the sales centre) and the Festival Tower is apparently at $850 psf. I don't know if there's really a comparable tower in St. Lawrence Market because L is significantly taller than the other condos and still is a pretty unique design, even without the toe.

Thanks all for your feedback. I did look at the original price psf and it was $512 psf. The newest prices I saw at the groundbreaking were in the mid $600's psf, so that's definitely a gain. I also talked to my real estate agent about it and he pointed out that he had got me one of the 'rare'...

Chucky that's looks very cool. Congrats on the purchase.

Granny I do agree that if we (my fiance and i) wait and take possession of the unit we will gain a lot more equity than if we just bail now and take interest on the deposit. However, it's the opportunity cost that i'm considering. My money has already been tied up for two years, and it looks...

Your lawyer says that if we don't sign we are able to rescind and walk away? We just get our deposit back? I have been trying to do this for a while and I keep getting told I couldn't, so this is good news.

That's interesting. I received a letter informing me of the new unit number and the new occupancy date, but I haven't received an actual amendment to the agreement of purchase and sale yet. Did you get an information letter prior to the amendment? I believe the law ensures that we are...
