    45 The Esplanade (Republic/Silver) - Real Estate -

    Going back to the history of the parking lot, were the units for 25 really sold with the parking lot and then bought back by Avro? In their welcome book from when the building finished, they mention this: “The parking garage located beneath the building is not part of the Condominium...

    This is how the site currently looks like and how it will look like. And how views from sorrounding buildings will be affected. Thanks to steveve’s 3D model on Precondo’s website. First, current site. How it will look like. @mburrrrr this will be your future view if it starts...

    Ever since the hotel opened in 1987, it was always a Novotel. I don’t think the lease will end with Novotel any time soon, judging how they have always been running the hotel since it opened.

    Yes, Silver is the owner and it’s in their hands if they want the development to continue. Republic is the developer, which will actually develop the building.

    The city renovated the hotel after they leased it from Silver Hotel Group to use it as a homeless shelter. Not sure what Silver Hotel Group is thinking about this proposal. Currently, they own the whole hotel and parking. Would Silver Hotel Group continue to own the hotel portion of the new...

    @mburrrrr BINGO! Found something very important. I’m reading the book from Avro Group welcoming new residents from the 80s when the building opened. AUTOMOBILE CONTROL The parking garage located beneath the building is not part of the Condominium Corporation. The Board of Directors and the...

    I’m reading through the Avro Group book from the 80s. Hopefully there’s more info I haven’t learned about. Already learned something, the Cafe Nicole was originally a Cafe Le Arcades. Some pages: DEAR RESIDENT: THIS MANUAL HAS BEEN PREPARED TO FACILITATE THE TRANSITION TO YOUR NEW HOME AND...

    And when I thought I knew everything about this building… That’s interesting. So all of the parking spots were originally sold with the units? And the condo board owned them, then sold them back to Avro Group (the developer) shortly after? Why would they do that? What would ground water have to...

    I agree, spacious homes can be great. I could see myself living in a house, but I would definitely rather choose a condo. Especially the one I’m in. Some condos aren’t great though…

    Haha, yeah we should. We’ll probably run into each other someday. You’ve got every LCBO in town favourited on Apple Maps… I see, the floor with be slightly slanted until it reaches the next floor, instead of it being flat and a ramp somewhere. Definitely a complete tear down and rebuild. I’m...

    Thanks for the response. I’m not sure if 118 spots will be enough for our 571 units. I know our 224 reserved parking spots aren’t fully used, but cutting it in half might not be great. At least our parking will not be shared anymore, and will be fully private. That’s probably gonna add more...

    Yes, there are advantages, however, I think condos outshine them. The maintenance of a house is much worse than a condo. You have to do much more work to maintain your house than living in a condo. Yeah, you have a shared garage, but it’s protected. Sure, houses also have protected garages. But...

    This is confusing. After looking at the parking lot’s redevelopments, I noticed that they appear to only show the parking lot that is mostly under 45 The Esplanade, and not 25 The Esplanade. Remember both parking lots are connected and are under both buildings, and stretch all the way to both...

    After looking at this, it appears that the parking garage will be shared with 25 The Esplanade, but not in the way it is currently being shared. Currently, the parking lot under Novotel (45 The Esplanade) is already shared with 25 The Esplanade. However, Novotel (45 The Esplanade) only has...

    Well, it’s from a different angle. Mine is the north side, and yours appears to be the west side.
