Im on a lower floor than you, but Im where the construction elevator is. The units there occupy last :(

New letter. 2 week delay, to late July 2014.

No additional letters for me. I'm hoping the next one I get would be a PDI package!

The elevator people are officially off strike (vs. being ordered back). A negotiated settlement has been reached: http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1192391/union-accepts-neea-s-offer-to-end-ontario-s-elevator-strike Union Accepts NEEA's Offer to End Ontario's Elevator Strike Negotiated...

I got moved from mid June to July 4, 2014. They noted the strike lasted 1 week, but they extended the interim occupancy date by more than 2 weeks. I'm not sure how that computes. I'm worried about the elevator strike now. By their logic, they will extend the date by 2x the strike time, even...

The developer/builder usually has a news release when an anchor/lead tenant is found. Similar to this one for Deloitte Tower in Montreal (Architect is KPF)...

The developer wants interim occupancy to occur as soon as possible, but if the building isn't up to code, they can't let it be occupied. I suspect they are behind in one area, so they are trying to use the strikes as a tool to extend the occupancy dates without them being financial liable...

You got this building mixed up with Deloitte Tower in Montreal. That one is KPF. This one's prelim designs is with another architect, a very well known one. Its still in preleasing, so I don't think anybody who knows will spill the beans on this one, without risking CF's displeasure.

I'm not sure how drywallers or elevator strikes delay the construction of the lower floors. My reasoning is this: If the lower floors already have drywall in (confirmed via Cityzen's blog) and the construction elevator doesn't break down, how does it affect the finishings for those units? The...

The developer priced everything so that it was not cheaper to do it myself (in my opinion). Maybe its because I'm not too handy, so I would have to hire people to do the tasks. For example, the kitchen tap was about $400 with taxes. Before I went to the decor centre, I went to Home Depot to see...

My point is that you're placing too much value on % of asking price sold. Just to rephrase my example, if a house down the street sold last month (same builder, same finishes) at $500,000, I list at $600,000, and I get $550,000, by your assertion, the market is "cold" since I got 92% of my...

I too glanced at your website, and I get the premise of it - houses are selling less than asking, but I do not agree you can leap to the fact that the market is falling from just this stat. The point CN Tower made is very valid - asking price and selling price differentials mean next to nothing...

They weren't willing to stray beyond their script when I was there. I asked if I can get extra pot lights and they said no. I also asked if they can build in my fridge (I have appliance package B, which are bigger but is not built in - stainless steel), they said no upgrades to appliances. I...

I just received my letter as well. I got bumped from Feb 2014 to June 2014. I'm at the construction elevator, so I suspect most of the building will get in before me. I also went to the decor appointment. Lots of choices. Spent more than I originally intended, but I am happy with my choices...

You never know with pre-construction. It depends on the builder. Some builders move you in when half the building is missing, literally, above your head (Aura has move ins in a couple months, and 1/3 of it is still missing at the top), some don't move you in until even the carpet has been...

Thanks, Riley! I just gave them a call and made a decor appointment (both Kitchen and Other). The key for the Downtown Decor Centre is to tell them when your Kitchen one is, and book something AFTER that date. They won't allow you to book something before. I'm still waiting for my confirmation...

The room with the slanted pillars is a condo unit. The pool is part of the amenity space.

I gave the decor centre (both the kitchen and the "other items" place) end of December, and had the following responses: 1) Kitchen Centre - Not all the samples are in yet. They will call me back when they are available for a preview (I asked if I can come before my appointment, which isn't...

Offices for accounting firms need to be geographically dispersed since the clients are everywhere. Though a lot of the staff work remotely (audit staff at working at the client's offices for example), there needs to be close facilities available to staff in case the client office closes at a...

The last update I heard was that they will open November 2012. But I haven't heard anything for a few months. But November makes sense. Just in time for the holiday season rush.
