This is the best new project since... well since FIVE! :D I'm simply stunned. MOD has taken design to a whole new level.

North side = Curtain wall , no balconies.

Good news. :cool: I also just received letters yesterday. My units have been officially bumped up 3 floors, with new tentative occupancy date of October, 2013 (for executive & PH level). Crazy to think these were purchased 3-4 years ago. How time flies!

At least we won’t have long to wait for the podium. Construction seems to be moving in high gear now.

Great photos Atlantis! The grains do look similar, but not exact. Maybe someone can ask an onsite builder?

The "pink" stone looks more like a light cream in this photo. I'm not quite so worried now... :)

Pink stone? Dear God, I hope you're wrong...

Looks like some residential cladding is up on the 5th floor, west side (via the webcam).

Referring to the sale of a property by a non-resident, the CRA would withhold 25% of the sale price (your lawyer is obliged to send them a cheque from sale proceeds). You would then provide documentary proof of purchase price, less expenses and calculate the capital gain tax owed (same tax rate...

The 25% withholding tax only affects me when selling a property (after submitting an NR4 form annually, my gross rental income is not withheld, only net income). I’ve only ever sold one property. Once the capital gain tax was paid, CRA refunded the balance withheld (but admittedly took over a...

Am I currently buying pre-construction? Short answer is no. My last pre-construction purchase was at FIVE. I purchased some 2-bed units at the initial VIP event in early 2010 for $585-$590/sqft. Great building, location, developer, finishes and design. Without some very unique unit...

I had the good fortune to live in Toronto for a few years during the late 90’s. I quite honestly loved it. Great people, food, attitudes, quality of life, festivals, etc… It was also clearly undervalued. There have been many positive attributes to purchasing property in Toronto, which...

You're welcome Daveto. I only posted the article as a simple rebuttal to mainstream media reports always quoting “economist” predictions of an imminent house price fall/collapse (as they’ve done like a broken record every year for 8 years). I’m a trader for an investment bank and know...

Here’s just one example, but looks like FS continues to sell well. -Unit #4001 -Sold Feb. 6th 2012 on MLS -2,874sqft -NW view -Listed for $5,300,000 -Sold for $5,300,000 But as you all say, it will be interesting to see average prices once built and registered.

Great, thank you. :)

Has anyone had a closer look at the said panel? The renderings display a beige (light brown) trim between floors on the podium, which I’ve never really liked. A light cream (bone white) colour might be more tasteful. Caltrane, maybe next time you’re on the prowl? ;)
