Thanks Miranda! Your unit looks stunning! I got the same style kitchen cabinet recessed handles and i'm glad I did. What unit did you buy? Mine is The Lido.

Thanks for sharing Miranda, glad to hear everything looks good with the units and ammenities at South Beach! I got my notice for the PDI and its scheduled for Jan.31st. I asked the builder if there was going to be a delay and they said no, that my March 2nd move-in date is still a go. Can't wait...

I'm slated to move in on March 2nd, 2012. I haven't received notice regarding my PDI. Has anyone done their's yet? How long before occupancy, are PDI's usually executed? Anyone have any pics of the interior?

http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/news/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com/2011/12/15/saadi-gaddafi-owns-a-1-6m-penthouse-in-toronto Here is one of the foreign buyers in Toronto. Wonder what happens to the residence now that all of the Ghadaffi's assets have been frozen???

They say when purchasing a new build condo, to take into consideration about 3 to 4% of the purchase price in closing costs. 241k X 3% is $7230, so it's pretty much bang on. Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.

The point of building in China has nothing to do with real estate, vacancy rates, or bubbles bursting. They do it so they can continue economic growth and GDP as the documentary states. The government could care less if these building get occupied ever. As long as the economy is still...

Question for anyone? Do you think it's more profitable to assign/sell a unit, or close on the unit and then sell if you already have a primary residence? For instance, you buy pre-construction for 469k. You can assign the unit at a cost of 3k. If you have a potential sale for 60k more than...

Doesn't anyone on this forum have some kind of connection to Great Gulf in some way? Such a vast pool of forumers, I'm sure somebody has dealt with them and has heard something...no?

Why do you say it's unsustainable? Do you know how people in New York afford to live in such an expensive and world class city? They work two jobs and grind out a living so they can squeeze into the 400 square foot studios if they are lucky. We should stop feeling sorry for ourselves and...

Huh? You must be a killer at scrabble :p

What's funny is he got you guys to notice it....and now all the other thousands on UT. Pretty good I'd say ;)

Amazing shots Mike! Thanks!

^ lol....that's what 50 years of communism and isolationism will do to a city!

Amazing news! Amazing building, height, and location! Amazing Toronto!

Floor premiums add value to a unit...ie. if you go to sell, usually a unit on a higher floor will sell for more than the same unit on a lower floor. The same can't be said about a parking spot....you can't get more money for your unit come re-sale time if your parking spot is closer to the...

I agree...I just wanted to emphasize that "wanna-be gangsta" " stick-up kids" operate on a much smaller and more random level than real gangsters that operate in a city as big as Toronto. Most of the time you won't even here about "Mafia type" crime in the news because they are usually smarter...

I tend to disagree....so if person A bought a penthouse unit worth a million dollars at Aura and person B bought a one bedroom 550 square foot unit worth 250k, you think that the person in the penthouse is going to get stuck with a parking spot by the garbage bins and the person with the one...

Hayzel McCallion!

Not sure why you would mention the Carribean? We all know the most powerful "gangstas" in Canada and throughout the entire Eastern sea board are the Russian Mafia....we should all remember that the real gangstas don't wear do-rags or bandanas.....real "gangstas" wear Armani suits. Also, the...
