    Financial District Investment Property Advice

    What's your timeline to purchase? Maple Leaf by the ACC sort of fits the criterias and will be available soon. I lived in the area for 5 years and know it like the back of my hand. Nothing matches all your requirements. As others have said, 1 King is the closest match, but you have no...

    Toronto Living Shangri-La Toronto | 214.57m | 66s | Westbank | James Cheng

    Penthouse 1 is definitely rooftop. The private estates are penthouse and subpenthouse. Okay, back on topic because I really apologize if I'm leading it too far into a discussion of real estate. As nice as it looks, I'm not happy that the university corridor retains that cement wasteland...

    Toronto Living Shangri-La Toronto | 214.57m | 66s | Westbank | James Cheng

    LOL! It's hard to see from the angle of the VR, but from the pics, you can see the toilet is a glass-enclosed area ajacent to the shower. This is normal. I've seen many homes and hotels like this. Not sure I want to be looking at my wife taking a dump while I shower (or vice versa). I don't...

    Shangri-La Virtual Tour and Pricelist Just shot it (I am the first! Could you believe it?). Here you go guys: Shangri-La Toronto Virtual Tour and Pictures Here's a scan of the pricelist: I really liked this project. There's many levels of parking because parking is included...

    Charlie Condos (Great Gulf Homes) - Real Estate -

    Have they changed THAT much since the end of June? They are not the absolute latest, but I didn't think there would be much variance. Could you tell us the more recent prices you have? If not, does anyone have the time to drop by the sales office? I'd love to see the most recent prices. :)

    Charlie Condos (Great Gulf Homes) - Real Estate -

    You must love my virtual tours then! Remember to click on the fullscreen button! Unlike Fly Condos, they didn't give us a comprehensive pricelist. We've noticed more and more condo projects holding back and only giving you prices when you ask about a specific unit. They no longer just hand...

    Charlie Condos (Great Gulf Homes) - Real Estate -

    I was thinking the same thing, and it was difficult to shoot in compared to other model suites before I realized there was no overhead lighting. If you're a buyer, it does give you a truer sense of the finished product experience.

    Charlie Condos (Great Gulf Homes) - Real Estate -

    Charlie Virtual Tour Finally finished for my client: Charlie Virtual Tour MINOR CONTROVERSY: We were only allowed to display this tour after agreeing not to show the living area wall. I didn't realize it until after the shoot, that I've never seen any pictures of that area of the model...

    CityPlace: St. Jamestown in waiting?

    Would expect the drop in police presence, although the shootings, assaults, and robberies is still quite scary. Anyone heard about the 42 storey public housing they are building?

    Most Dangerous Neighbourhood(s)?

    I concur. Crime/violent crime stems from financial hardship such as low income households and substandard living, not race. In prague, people aren't afraid of black people. They are scared of the gypsies. In Hong Kong, I'm not worried about black or any ethnic minority robbing me, I'm scared...

    City-TV & OMNI-TV's H.Q. (formerly Torch, Quadrangle)

    Me too. Like in Paris, but that took bold action and from what I remember, the leader took considerable unpopularity and flack to make Paris look the way it does now. Even in a city like Vienna and Prague, it took hundreds of years. Toronto is relatively new by comparison. Who knows, maybe...

    Swaying Condo Buildings?

    You are absolutely correct. Condos, like office towers, must fit building standards so tall condos that may be affected by wind and weather should be built to bend a little and have inertial dampeners. Some very sensitive people feel the sway so it is not abnormal. But if your friend asks...

    Toronto scraps museum project, plans to raze site instead

    If someone puts up the money to refurbish the silos, I'm game. I remember seeing the promo material as a teenager. but it's quite an expensive task. Wouldn't it be cheaper to demolish and safer to build a new structure? I'd prefer investing more into the existing infrastructure of the...

    Toronto Parade at Concord CityPlace | 127.4m | 44s | Concord Adex | P + S / IBI

    Mr. Kaplan is mostly correct although he could've mentioned HOW exactly we could go about looking up concrete partitioning for condos I live at Cityplace. Drywalls do divide many suites, but this is common in many downtown condos. I've found the sound insulation quite good and despite my...

    what do the toronto people do?

    1. I live downtown and don't have a car. There's two, great car sharing services that serves the needs when I do need one 2. no. it's better to use the car sharing service. I've tried it, and it's better to pay the $6-$9 for the hour to 2 you need to move instead. When you live downtown...

    Does anyone recommend buying a condo at CityPlace?

    Whoah. I apologize if my post left such an impression. Re-reading my post, I don't see where I implied only Cityplace experienced such problems. The thread starter asked about Cityplace so I just mentioned aspects of Cityplace. You are absolutely right that some of the negatives can be applied...

    LOL. My name is Michael, I'm a web designer/virtual tour photographer based in Toronto. Being a virtual tour photographer, I've met and worked for/with many agents. I was absolutely genuine and stated I shot the VR of harbourview for Anthony Rapallo. I like him, so I recommend him, much like...
