Seems like Freed has stepped up the marketing on this one. I noticed he has big n' flashy banner advertisements now along both Bathurst and King where the site will be. I also noticed that there is an ad at the street car shelter on King near Brant (that may have been there a while now and I'm...

The interesting thing about that Freed promotion is he did it on all of his buildings EXCEPT 550 Wellington, which seems to be the only one with a shot of getting done in 2009. I think it was the same % sold as 75 Portland at that point too (which was included on the sale). I would have that...

The prelim prospectus is on SEDAR.com. Just search for TD Capital Trust IV. You can learn about structure there.

There is this huge amount of pressure to get their tier I capital above 10x. Remember that these CaTS aren't true debt (although they are bought by typical debt purchases). Failure to pay the coupon doesn't trigger bankruptcy. To that end they are more like prefs. Also remember that the...

There is a big orange and black sign in the window of the sales centre today saying that they are rejiggering the layouts and are doing a relaunch March 2009.

Quick shot along Stewart yesterday ....

Here are some pics from Saturday. I think the form is in for the 11th floor now on the tower building. I thought 11 was supposed to be the first condo floor, but the 10th floor has a balcony.... This angle makes the project look massive.... If you look close you can see they have...

Snapped this on the weekend....

You mean that partially grassed dog toilet? That park is getting out of control. You know its the case when you walk buy on -10C days and it STILL smells like you have your nose up a terriers ass. But excluding that, the park is awesome! Did anyone go to the town hall meeting on Dec03...

Anyone have an idea of what this is about?

I'm pretty sure I saw stacks of glass on the 2nd floor on the bathurst/stewart corner. Pretty exciting if thats the case. It looked extra blueish and frosty, but its tough to say because I was blinded by the ex-daylight savings 3:30pm sunset.

Ooops. I knew this board wouldn't let that one slide. I guess I had crane on the brain.

New (I think) exterior crane... Looking down below from Stewart.... Future pedestrian walkway from Stewart to Wellington....

Snapped some pics this afternoon. Looks like they are starting work on the 7th floor of the west portion. Also new since Wednesday night is the skeleton of Crangles coming back from the dead.

I came across this today on the Allied RIET site. You can see Fashionhouse poking its nose out there. That PizzaPizza will look out of place with those two monstrocities going up beside it.

Some quick shots from around lunch time today. There were a dozen or so guys working today...good to see them on the weekends. I heard the hotel is supposed to be finished for the film festival next year. At this rate I think its going to be a close call.

Came across this on www.canadianarchitect.com in a piece on gh3. "What comes next? Emerging as a three-dimensional continuation of their gridded design at Trinity College, gh3 is currently working on 550 Wellington, a condo project that investigates the use of extensive landscaping along its...

Did anyone go to the FH event on Saturday? How was it? Any news on the project or was it actually just a party?

Just got an invite to the Freed "Rock The Block" party. May 10 9pm - 2am @650 King Street W It has a bunch of fancy corporate sponsors and DJ Dimitri from Paris will be there.

~$470 as of March 23.
