For those interested in the bridge progress, here are a few pictures: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/715/bridge11512one.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/835/bridge11512two.jpg/ They have started to build the bridge to ready for its hoisting in the summer.

I never said the cars are owned by the renters (I have no clue if its owners or renters driving the cars). I was making an observation on wealth via the parking lot. But to clarify a few points I was trying to make, I'm just saying there isn't much difference in the renters at Bay/College vs...

Speaking from a personal perspective, I think in general the people at Cityplace (my current residence) seem to be more affluent than my previous neighbourhood (Murano). Both Murano and Cityplace have a high percentage of renters, but looking at the garage, the renters at Cityplace have more...

Assuming you're an owner, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Any surplus in the maintenance fee collected will be the condo corp's money - which can lower maintenance fees in the future, or help with the condo's reserve fund for big maintenance items. March is actually very soon. Most new...

They are pretty energy efficient. My 1+1 condo has never hit the $40/month mark for electricity, and I run at least 2 loads a week. I also like my condo toasty warm during the winter (24 degrees) and chilly during the summer (21 degrees), so its not like I'm going out of my way to save energy...

I live in another Concord Adex building, and if you have a similar 2 in 1 washer/dryer I have, you can't overload it. You can only fill it up to 2/3 for the dry cycle, and you must leave it in a long time for it to dry properly. For a full drying load, expect about 1.5 hours. I had a technician...

Just to clarify (so you don't go crazy finding something that isn't required), condos typically only require the side facing the outside to be white or beige. The interior facing side can be any colour you want.

The large vacancies in some of the buildings is due to the large tenants moving to the new towers you see going up (PricewaterhouseCoopers for example is moving out of the TD Centre to their new building, and they had a huge number of floors there). Commerce Court suffered the loss of KPMG to...

I found the article: http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2011/10/interview-sam-crignano-cityzen-part-1 The very bottom says 4 days. Or did they mean something else?

Didn't UT run an article a few months back where a Cityzen representative said it will be 4 days per floor now? Is it possible the weather wall is moving up every 2 floors vs. 1? It seems pretty tall.

I finally had a chance to meet up with a real estate lawyer. In case anybody is interested, providing access to the parking space you bought for a condo is not a necessity of occupancy. Thus, theoretically, if your parking spot has some problems with it, the builder can still make you pay...

Sorry to dig up this thread, but I couldn't find the answer to the following question online even after spending 2 hours looking. Is the requirements for occupancy (i.e. running water, heat, etc.) written down anywhere? I'm concerned about parking. A sales person told me today that it is...

Here are some pictures, early in the bridge raising process. http://imageshack.us/g/849/mg5678.jpg/

I think we're getting through to the company. From my recollection, their website didn't use to have "Canadian Condo Rebates is not a government agency. A ten per cent contingency fee is applicable on all recovered funds." It's a good first step in making sure potential clients are well aware...

If you read my post carefully, the only thing I said was illegal was entering a private residence and soliciting business. The rest was just my opinion. The last time I checked, it is illegal to enter onto private property without permission. Unless you had prior permission from the condo corp...

There is also a GST/HST transitional rebate for individuals that bought when the GST was 7% or 6%, and final closed when it was 5%. I believe the form is called GST193E. As an owner who had an illegal notice from Canadian Condo Rebates shoved under my door, I am quite upset they did this. Not...

Here is a link to my PDI pictures. http://img819.imageshack.us/g/img2037v.jpg/

PDIs are starting. Mine is Jan 14, 2011 for a podium unit in Parade 1.

Another glass panel fell off a balcony on Tuesday. The scaffolding is to protect people walking on the streets from possible injury in case another panel fell off.

The reason why there are relatively few vacancy reports in that building is because CF is clearing out the building so they can convert it to lofts. I think the building is half occupied right now, and will continue to decline as leases expire. Any new tenants will be short term tenants on month...
