All these big condos have similar rules. Seasonal furniture only; no storage, no bicycles. A building like Casa will simply have to be more vigilant about enforcing the rules, that's all. The main thing will be to make sure you have a really good, experienced property management company.

This is no different from PATH as it exists now. Toronto slopes down toward the lake, so if you follow PATH from its north end, you frequently encounter stairs and escalators. Since when are stairs and escalators "mind-bending"? As long as PATH signage and maps are updated, there should be no...

I cannot imagine more than one condo board for a single development! Radio City consists of two highrise towers and a row of townhouses. We have one board responsible for the entire development. The condo rules apply to all areas. Naturally, some issues are not relevant to all owners...

It looks pretty nice. The one thing I find odd is that the master bedroom looks like it has a lot of space, but that space is wasted. Most small condos have so little room that the bedrooms can only hold a bed; this one has space for one or more armchairs (maybe one on either side of the...

I'm glad you mentioned it. I thought I was seeing things.

A heat pump uses electricity, so that will be part of your individual bill, year 'round. Maintenance for the building's part of the system as well as heating/cooling of the common areas will be part of your maintenance fees. Heat pumps work differently from conventional heating systems. The...

Gorgeous photos, every one. Thanks to darkstar for calling attention to these on FB.

Oh, come on. That's plenty of space if you get rid of all your furniture.

Damn. I used to work in the Morguard building with a desk right at the window facing the Absolute site. At this point, I wouldn't be getting any work done, though. :)

Sunrise 1 does indeed meet the street well. Residents often sit outside, chatting with friends, and there is an interesting piece of artwork on the Mutual St. side. I'm not buying the idea that Radio City townhouses are going up for sale in response to assisted housing. As the TCHC building...

We'll be looking forward to meeting you!

Excellent idea! And it would probably only take them 10 years to complete it! Well... I say "10 years", but then I'm an optimist...

Why would you visualize it without balconies? I don't, and it doesn't really look like an office tower to me. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume the Casa buyers know what they're getting into. I expect maintenance fees will be higher at Casa than what I am paying, since my condo...

Me too!

Actually, the police watched the situation carefully and acted accordingly. They had the sidewalk on the west side cordoned off, then closed Yonge from Dundas to Dundas Sq. and the east-side sidewalk, then finally closed the entire Dundas Sq. open area.

We've discussed the problem of the most suitable venue before. The house party is a nice idea, but the general consensus was that most of us feel awkward about opening our homes to complete strangers; as well, strangers are probably more likely to come to a more neutral space to meet people...

I'm still here, Billy. I've been too busy for the forum lately. I've spent the last few weeks searching the internet for information about Urban Victoria. You'd think someone would start up a forum or something... :D

Yay! We're friends now.

I lived on Isabella for years and never had my car broken into. I've also lived in Toronto all my life, and never been a victim of crime. Based on the responses in this thread, people like me are in the majority, which is in line with Statscan's findings. Why would you assume the statistics...

With all due respect, that's an ethnocentric attitude - the idea that someone else's behaviour is an offshoot or variation of your own. Canadian English has its own history. It is not a form of American English any more than American English is a form of Canadian English.
