I agree Josef, thanks, especially about the part about the sliding doors on the washroom. There was a big space next to the toilet which seems to be a waste. As for the laundry, I think there is not enough room to move it over to the kitchen area but it would be great to get some extra space in...

This is a studio condo that is definitely classified as a micro-condo 352 square feet with 52 feet balcony. I think the layout is pretty awesome for such a small space as it is rectangular and no wasted space. Although many on the board will probably have their issues with such small condos...

Trust me, I know there are unreasonable people who feel they can demand anything of the property management. I do feel for what they have to deal with. I can only speak to my own personal experiences of the people they hire, leaving ceiling dust all over my furniture when fixing my ceiling and...

Fourth p: Property Management. I've had so many problems with property management and their poor attitudes towards tenants/owners. I get the feeling they want to be left alone sitting in their cushy offices not having to worry about our problems.

Nice to have this forum. I have a question about our rights in a situation that just happened to me. As those who live in condos know, oftentimes property management send contractors into the units to fix something or to deal with maintenance issues. In my case they did not lock up after they...

Thanks Paul for the response, I did ask one of your reps about the HST and she told me it was extra, so may want to clarify that with your staff. Congrats on such a great development!

Went there today, they are spectacular! Good classic yet ultramodern style. Too bad out of my price range, and there are a lot of optional items I'd want, including the basement that would jack up the price. Plus that dreaded HST! On a 2 million home that would be 260,000 of taxes to be paid!

My tenant did give me the sob story that things are tough, utilities are going up and that comparable properties are hard to compare because of blah blah blah. I guess its a game, tenants are trying to lower the rent as much as possible and the landlord is trying to raise the rent as much as...

I currently have this problem. My current rental rate for my tenant is about 100 less than market rent and my fees have gone up 100% in two years. I have a great tenant and I also don't want the hassle of looking for someone new. But it's hard knowing the rates are going so high and so are my...

Gotta at least hand it to Daniels, they are trying to make their buildings unique. Seems they are not sacrificing quality, the building quality seems to be very up to par with their higher profile buildings (Cinema and Festival Tower) that cost a lot more. Kudos.

Hi cc If I'm not mistaken, I think it is on the Regent Park phase 3 board, they will be building a smaller unit at Parliament and Gerrard for Phase 4, it will be smaller because they want a smooth transition with Cabbagetown to the north and not have a tall building there.

Apparently there will be at least 3 or 4 more coming, closer to River and on Parliament, in the subsequent phases (we are only in phase 2). I don't think there was much of a price difference between North and South Tower in terms of pricing, the condo fees were slightly less, not sure why...

Congrats Southcore, I'm sure you made a great purchase. I've read that rents have skyrocketed in the downtown core, including Regent Park, which I think is so much safer than 2 years ago. So great investment potential. I think the south building is going to be taller than the north building. I...

Hey Southcore, are there over 350 units in each building? I'm not sure if 180 units sold is a good number. I'm curious to see how it compares to the other VIP sales, whether there is still good demand for units in the area. Does anyone have an idea of how many more residential buildings...

Seems to me that the One Park Place condos are a step above what came before (Paintbox, One Park West), and they have Cecconi Simone and Hariri Pontarini who are quite reputable designers and architects. The north building looks really nice and modern, not your typical glass house, and when the...

I think it would be interesting if there was a site where we could all look at these VIP price sales and compare them to each other to see if there are good deals out there instead of this veil of secrecy...as it stands, most sites you will have to leave all your personal information and likely...

parking Thanks very much James, just one more question, sorry to be naive, how does street parking work in the North York area? Can one just park in front of anyone's houses at anytime if there is no parking meters or are there restrictions on parking? If I owned one of those homes on...

I don't know if anyone is still following this thread, I noticed a unit for sale. Does anyone know if there is much street visitor parking in this area? It would be a deal breaker for many as its on Bayview, unless there is side street parking.

terrible I live next door at Park Place and I thought I had complaints about the building! I can't believe how cheap the exterior of Boutique condos looks. Some of the balconies look barely larger than a juliette balcony, and very thin base. The grey on the outside will look really drab...

In reply to merongs and the treble. I totally understand your frustration, but I do have to say that since the board of directors has been elected, there have been improvements in the buildings amenities. There is better communication through boards everywhere in the building and suggestions...
