A little bit of history from an owner if you will: in markham place 2nd phase occupancy started Dec 2010, closing in April 2011 and shortly thereafter construction ended with exception to PDIs and the faux water fountain in the courtyard that occurred in early summer. its been 100% complete for...

Hey VICTORthePHENOM Do you mind letting us know what the issue is with your floor or post pictures? You don't have to provide specific details if you're not comfortable, but at least give us a general idea. thanks

Although my lawyer had the levie fees capped it was the bulk of the closing cost. But from what I've read in this forum about other buildings its the same thing, poor make, things not as promised and levie fees of $5000. It's crazy everywhere. why can't we see who's at the lobby doors...

Hello, finally setteld in and settled down I've been really busy... PDI went well more spacious than what I expected they kept to spec or was over a few inches which was great. I was concerned about my colour layout considering there was a lack of a studio to see how colours would match but...

Hey Gargamel, I was at the orientation as well. The lack of refreshments didn't bother me(I wouldn't have eaten it anyways) but they DID promise it. **Keep in mind that orientation represented the property management not the builder.** That lady was EXTREMELY boring and what made it worse was...

Follow Up: I received a letter, a good one. An orientation meeting with the management of Markham Place Simerra(sp?) Properties. Apparently its to inform purchasers of the moving in process and requirements. I also confirmed with Builder that I will be moving in at previous stated occupancy...

Ok. I was worried there was another extension. I received a letter in September as well for December. The builder has until next week(65 day warning) to notify me of an extension or else they can only extend another 5 days MAX meaning I'll move in THIS YEAR!!! I'm on the 6th floor so I should...

Hey, I haven't received a letter yet. Gargamel can you provide more details? What is the date the letter was issued? What is your new Occupancy date? And what floor are you on? Thanks

Not much to update on the construction side but Check the link for some pictures of inside 8 Rosebank: http://urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?12874-Markham-Place&p=435569#post435569 hope this helps

Guess who received a letter today? December 13. The goal to move in before 2011 is diminishing. And to think I believed them when they said occupancy in June LMAO...smh On the flipside I took a few pics of 8 Rosebank on my Blackberry(excuse the quality). According to the amenities floor plan...

Hey Gargamel, First I'm no expert but since you spefically asked me I will answer the question to the best of my ability... Question 1:Yes you do have to pay phantom rent. The good news(well thats your call) is that its pro-rated so it won't be the FULL occupany fee for December. Question 2...

Hey Khalid. I'm on the 6th floor. If we find out Gargamel's floor we can narrow it down since his occupancy is in Dec, or you can wait for your letter to arrive. In section 4(c)My agreement states:"The Purchaser shall provide any number of postdated cheques with respect to the Occupancy Fee as...

I reviewed my purchase agreement I didn't see any mention of a "12 month" phantom/occupancy rent in the contract. Which section are you referring to? I don't think this is true and how would you enforce this on ppl who bought in the higher floors? If they pay for 12 months then the ppl on lower...

Last week I received a notice of a confirmed occupancy date Nov 22 for PHASE II. I imagine you will get yours soon. I'm still curious about this 12 month phantom rent that can't be correct. How do they expect anyone to get a guaranteed mortgage rate? I don't know of any bank that will hold for...

anyone else get a letter with a "confirmed" occupancy date in November now? Does "confirmed" mean it the date cannot change????

wow march 2010? Back in November they told me occupancy started in phase I end of December, are you on the higher floors? 12 months phantom rent??? Even for purchasers of higher floors? And what happens to the RBC rates will they honour rates until closing which now seems more than likely to...

Phase I occupancy started in December. I was only able to see the lobby and elevators. The lobby looked smaller than expected but impressive. Its not completely finished so I expect it to look a lot better esp when they bring in the furniture(if they stick to plan :rolleyes:). I'll try to take a...

I think that's part of the problem. Not saying you personally Aguduser, but that investor mentality. People aren't paying for $300k condo's to live they're trying to make a quick flip and whoever buys from them is thinking the same thing. That's how we got to these prices in the first place...

there's a lot of factors to consider: Find out the floor premium first b/c you might be able to negotiate a better price for 1+den at a higher floor. 550 and 676 mathematically is a huge difference but its the floor plan that matters more. Is the extra sq ft maximized for a useful den...

$8000 for a new v8 car built in germany is unreasonable. $200k or as you said 5x that amount it should be a given that its in a safe community. Similar to a $500k condo, quality finishes are a given(or should be;)). Why else would you pay so much??? Supply & Demand only applies if Downtown...
