Not that it will prevent a sale, but you might want to reverse the doors on that fridge. /it's the little things....

You're not kidding. They have a 392 sq ft 1 BDR listed. The bedroom is 9X9 with a door. Crazy. http://www.thecarlaw.ca/flash.php

That parking lot beside it is owned by the 181 Carlaw, who actually use it for their commercial tenant parking. I heard through a realtor that the only way the lot will be sold is in conjunction with the sale of 181 Carlaw (which isn't for sale), so who knows? I bought a unit facing that lot...

Hi lucydog - yeah, I'd say there is still a lot of disdain for this project in the neighborhood (you can read more here http://leslieviller.com/forum/topics/showcase-building-on-carlaw if you like). I'm not sure what level sales are up to yet, but the word on the street is that that an...

Counterpoint: Toronto’s condo boom continues after record 2011 “I don’t see the bubble everyone is talking about. We’ve seen no slowdown from investors,” says realtor Roy Bhandari, part of a four-person Sotheby’s International team that focuses largely on preconstruction condo sales and sold...

I am discovering that upgrade markups vary wildly. My last place was 600 sq ft and the flooring upgrade (to engineered rosewood) cost me $7K. My new place is almost double the size, and the upgrade to real oak solid hardwood is costing me $6K. Same goes for quartz kitchen counter - last time...

That's a sharp looking face. This will be a nice little building whenever they get around to finishing it.

All I have to offer here is my own anecdotal evidence: I bought precon in Leslieville in early 2007 for $361 PSF. A year ago (December 2010) I bought another precon pretty much across the street from the first for $432 PSF. Last August, I decided to sell the first unit and rent until the new...

It's going to be interesting to see what (if anything) happens now. Are there any comparable buildings which were left in limbo mid-construction? Is there a chance that this ill-fated little project could sit, unfinished, for another five years? Crazy.

Somebody needs to get on their white horse and finish this thing. I think everyone in the neighborhood is sick of looking at it.

So we've gone up over 10% since this thread was started?

Not sure if any of you have seen this yet, but this is a collection of the most ridiculous Toronto MLS listings. The houses are way overpriced, but the commentary is priceless: http://fmlistings.tumblr.com/

Nobody's made an Evolution-takes-millions-of-years joke yet? I feel for the people who bought here... I bought a unit from Beaverbrook (Printing Factory) in early 2007. Our occupancy was about a year overdue, which isn't too bad I guess. Beaverbrook is an awful company to deal with. If you...

Will Ontario housing soon be priced completely beyond reach? There are growing concerns that Ontario’s push to curb urban sprawl and intensify development has taken off with unexpected vigour. Condo development is in overdrive in the downtown core while construction of new single-family homes...
