1 Bloor East, DEAD AND BURIED (Bazis, -2s, Varacalli)

[urbandreamer]

The master bedroom is tiny here! I'd want at least a 1000 sq ft bedroom, with a 500 sq ft bathroom.

Why are the 'her ensuites' in 1BE and Aura so large and luxurious that includes a sauna, while the 'his' is so small plain in comparison ?!?!?

For $25 million I'd want a magnificent Casavant organ like the one at Metropolitan United, not the pissy little grand piano shown in that floor plan.

Well, if they were trying to appeal to the nouveau riche, it would be bigger. Those people associate luxury with size; the bigger, the more luxurious. You see that mentality in Forest Hills. The houses are spectacular, but some aren't gorgeous, they're just very very big. A couple of them are actually horrific, tacky, and not that nice at all. They just spent a lot of money. Big difference.

I've always thought the opposite for Forest Hill, for the most part.

Houses are very small there, but often quite beautiful. Although, Forest Hill is far from nouveau riche.

That's exactly the type of place I'm going to get when I move out of my parents house.

I'll bet those terraces will be mighty windy up there.

********

the much reported $25 million penthouse suite on the 80th floor of 1 Bloor East with 7,530 sq.ft. of living space and your very own private infinity pool with southerly views overlooking downtown Toronto ... the down side is no parking is included and each comes at a price tag of $75,000, you would think at least 2 parking spaces would be included at $25 million purchase price

The $25 Million price tag is apparently 'negotiable', so I'm sure if you wanted a few parking spots thrown in it wouldn't be a big deal.

In that case I'd try to pay more than $25 million.

You're quite right. Forest Hills is a bad example, but I'm sure the point has not been lost on you.

Shocker's moving-in party anyone?

Anybody else notice that the Nanny/Maid's bedroom is but a peephole away from the man's toilet?

Such a perverted mind - but it does make for convenient late night rendezvous too.

Just playing around with a new graphics program.

Here's the ground floor of 1 Bloor superimposed onto the cleared site. It's not quite right but you get the idea...
