The RITZ looks so sleak that adding balconies would ruin the exterior look. I agree, a balcony is a must to live in a condo. The elevators at the RITZ drop you right in your suite. No fumbling for keys or trying to open the door with dry cleaning in one hand briefcase in the other. The two...

I'm debating on whether to hang my tv. I think it weigh 100lbs (very heavy) and would hate to mount it to drywall. Can't see it supporting at TV. Having said that, when I look at the condo's across from me there are no fewer than 10 TV's hanging off the wall.

drewp, If you decide to be a realtor, do it full time (no other part time occupation) and have some start up capital. You will need to market yourself and expect 60-90 days of no commissions. The failure rate is high, however successful agents tend to see exponential growth in earnings by...

I don't know about a quality bed.....what you have is an ikea bed that is customized. Go to Lifestyle or Positive Space look at their beds and then compare it to IKEA. In the end, you get what you pay for.

I would look into this. I don't think the builder can give you a unit that doesn't meet code. When I renovated my office space to enclose three offices, I was required to move HVAC's so that there would be at least one HVAC in each office. I think the builder is saying this because of the...

I agree, go to IKEA and save your money. At least you won't get ripped off. EQ3 prices are not cheap, however the product is.

My friend purchased three units at west side and two of the units turned out horrible. The exposed concrete walls were stained, discoloured, and not smooth (pot marks all over). The exposed ceiling had the same issues. I understand it is a loft but it looked like a parking garage from the...

terrible finish....the wood scratches and dents easily. The track mechanism on the drawers is cheap. When openiing and or closing, they tend to stick. I think the inside of the drawers are not made of wood. Anyway, I have bought several items there in the past and when I move next April all...

Anyone have any pic's to post from their PDI's? Much appreciated. Any comments on the finishes and workmanship would be appreciated.

between 2K to 3K you can get a nice storage bed at the Lifestyle shop. between 3K to 4K you can get a very nice bed at positive space. The higher price takes into account some customization and taxes. For a storage bed under 2K look for clearance or sales at Casa Life and or BLVD Interiors...

I'm not an agent....but that was rude. You don't know what he does day to day to earn his commisiion so don't belittle one's profession unless you have experience working in it. If you don't find value, do it yourself but spare us with your comments.

I liked the style and look of the bed compared to the one at Lifestyle. The wood headboard has a great look to it (clean and simple). After giving it the shake test, the bed was very sturdy. I also liked the anti-slam drawer feature (i believe its included in the $2500 price). He did mention...

Positive Space has a display at the Fall Home show in the better living building. I dropped by last night and was very impressed with their beds. The bed I was looking at starts at $2,500 vs. the $2,000 at the lifestyle shop. Once you customize it to your tastes, it will probably run you...

you should visit the Westside thread and view the pics from previous PDI's. I don't think this project and the word fabulous should be used in the same sentence.

Drove by the project on my way to work (along the Gardiner), the bilss tower and the loft building (south side) look good. The dark green looks suprisingly good at least from a distance. The dark blue on the east side of Bliss looks much better than the lighter blue used on Liberty Towers...

Not sure if its a hard loft. 7ft walls were in the agreement and so was unfinished concrete floors (standard finishes). So you would expect the pipes to continue right up to the ceiling (exposed pipes). I agree, the concrete walls are weird and not sure if the contract makes any mention of...

I know someone who purchased three units in this building. So far, he has completed two PDI's. The first unit was very good, however the second unit was similar to the blogger above. The person in question has purchsed over 20 units in the last 10 years and expected most of the items with the...

I went with a quartz surface as well, however it does chip easier than granite

Too bad, I was expecting this building to register in October......probably should have rented the unit for 1yr.

I went by my unit last friday and showed Kyle my deficiencies. Hopefully, they fix my floors and baseboards. Kyle mentioned that the building may not register until December. He said something about the units across the street not being occupied until late November or early December. Not...
