At the same time, some units in Electra are really nice, depending on how well the owner has renovated.

There's two phases, Electra I (at 954 King St West) is the one he's talking about. Electra II (at 1029 King St West) is the one you're talking about. I agree with you on the finishes in DNA, generally, it's nicer. But some of the layouts are quite crappy. All the units in Electra are 2...

Ok, it's confirmed. Just got the budget statement for the first year of operations. A portion of the "Hotel and Amenity Lands Expenses" will be a part of the condominium fees, which is defined as: "The estimated proportionate share of expenses to operate the gym, including the change rooms."...

I'm not a lawyer, but here are some key points that I see from the condo docs: The project is made up of four components: Hotel and Amenity Lands, the Parking Condominium, the Condominium, and the Retail Lands. The Retail Lands is owned by the Declarant, or 550 Wellington West Ltd. (or...

FashionHouse Condos for one. And what about 400 Wellington West (but not Freed's project anyway...)?

Flex walls?

Oh, and I loved his rebuttal to the lady who said that the bigger units wouldn't sell, so there was no point having them. He said how he wanted to see a certain number of units (for FashionHouse) as 3 bedroom units, to accomodate families, so that the city could sustain itself. Of course, this...

If anyone goes to this, please post the details. I can't make it either :(

Which is the Silver Plate building? There will be a pedestrian walkway up from King, then going west, where the garden area will be, between 455 and FashionHouse. The rest of Morrison (in how it is currently existing) will remain a road, and will likely be the entrance for the FashionHouse...

I just got this notice from the Toronto Real Estate Board: April 22, 2008 -- Tarion alerts REALTORS® to advise clients who buy new housing units and re-sell without first occupying them, that they have specific obligations under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act. Tarion also...

Nothing wrong, except for the graffiti in the elevators. Fine, I admit my bais. Nothing really wrong with renters... They pitched it as "allowing other people to enjoy the area that normally couldn't afford to live there". Again, that is biased too, just because one rents, doesn't mean that...

I wish I took notes from the planning meeting last night, but you'll see. I forgot how many units there is, but the way they proposed it, it was pretty nasty. It's going to be nearly the same height as Six50 King, but full of renters instead. It will be like another Fifty on the Park, but...

There's one building that they are proposing at 525 Adelaide St W. It's going to be a huge rental building, with average unit sizes of about 500 sq ft. This won't be good for the immediate area, it's way too dense.

Also, the pink and orange and fuschia colours are going to be standard curtains that are mandatory for some of the suites, and the south east corner is going to be two story retail units. Apparently the pot lights infront/behind the curtains are going to turn on automatically for a couple...

I was at the planning meeting put on by Adam Vaughan tonight, they talked about this project (thanks for the tip Marcus_A_J). They're talking about extending Morrison Street and making it a pedestrian street (on the extension part), and the existing street as the vehicle entrance. They...

But Quay West is going up, in between the lake/South Beach residences and Tip Top. Weirdest place to put a condo, in my opinion. We'll see how it does.

I think the raw concrete looks good though. Since the balconies are so huge, if they painted it, they will surely stick out even more. At least there's sort of a natural feel to it. And on top of it, they'll have to maintain it if they are painted. We all know how ugly painted balconies...

Ahh, Downtown Relief Line. http://spacing.ca/wire/2008/04/14/the-case-for-a-downtown-relief-line/ Sounds like a good idea, but I guess we'll have to keep on waiting.

DRL?

Not unless all sides mutually agreed. Otherwise, it's a firm and binding legal contract. If he decided to walk away, he'd likely be sued for damages, and the damages could possibly be ordered to be released from the trust that held his deposit (and he could possibly be sued for more than the...
