just here!
that's what I thought but after checking out the terrace upstairs the drain is in the middle and this pipe jus sticks out at the end of the terrace
It's confusing, they are going to cover somehow of course but to me it looks like someone f__ked up

I'm still not clear what is going on with the loft building, then, if the new units are in the tower. The lofts have been vacant with little work going on for months. Although some guy did build nice stone pillars out front.

PDI tmr, very excited. I didn't see the blinds being installed thou. I guess it'll only be done by closing.
I have got a question for those of you who had moved in. What were you told about receiving mail? We were told that we'll have to redirect our mail to a Post Office?!

Great News Shelfun
Very Exciting Shelfun....no doubt there will be pictures from you...I am looking forward to them. I don't take occupancy till September....still a while for me.
Hopefully any defects will be minimal and corrected quickly.

Sorry for the delay. PDI went quite smoothly, some fixing & painting needs to be done & it's all good.
The "lighting" was quite bad so I don't have many "good pictures" to share. So here are a couple & more after we move in.
Corner of master bedroom looking to the door leading to living room.
Corner of living room looking at the balcony & dining room
The kitchen
Looking at the main door
Standing outside the 2nd bedroom looking into the living room
Looking into the 2nd bedroom
West view from the living room
North West view from the living room
North East view from the dining room & a look into 2nd bedroom

Shelfun, thanks for the pics...your unit looks great. I like the ceilings. Really nice touch.
I saw postings around the building that mail is now being delivered...I'm assuming you saw them too.
I really thing this is a very underrated building. A lot of nice touches...I like the fact that they included the window coverings...the building will look much more uniform.

I've come to like this building and the photos of the suites posted so far look really good along with great finishes. That looks like a nice sized balcony in the photos above too. Very impressive.

JayBee, thanks for the nice comment. The idea of raw ceiling is grand but when we enter the condo it's "very raw". There are lots of markings (ie writings & mark lines) & we don't know how to "erase" them. We are currently getting quotes for smoothing it out. Quite disappointed actually cos we had all the "interior design" planned out base on the raw ceiling.
Yes, I did see the signs about the mail. Phew... was a little worried there cos I'd ask to send some important document to the 500 thinking it'll arrive about the same time we collect the keys.
dt_toronto_geek, the balcony is about 52 sqft. It is bigger than the floor plan of 45 sqft. We are very please with the building design as well as the interior.
Hopefully smoothing the ceiling now will not empty our bank account. Once that is done, we're going to paint then move in. We have up til end of May to move out of the current apartment so we're not exactly rushing but would like to start enjoying the new home soon. MayB I should organise a paint party so we can paint the whole place in a day; assuming we get those 1 coat only paint.
Anyway, thanks again for the nice comment on the pictures.

Another PDI of the same type of unit as shelfun's. Very good workmanship.

^Yeah, I prefer that look Martin, light wood floors and tile in the kitchen area. The white finished ceiling brightens it up as well. The main feature I don't like is the kitchen counter tops. I prefer a white Corian countertop and white cabinets with a green back splash and painted (cream perhaps?) appliances.
However Shelfun, with your raw concrete ceiling, you could get really creative with the ceiling. For example, wood effect like at the Koerner Hall at RCM.

...and here I actually thought you and I might share the same design taste! ;-) No offense, but the tile in that kitchen completely ruins the entire feel of the unit. Although I do like the flooring better - just not with those cabinets. Way too much going on for the eye to process.

^I love hardwood in the kitchen as well. However, if you custom design/build shelving-walls that slide around and shut the kitchen off from the rest of the unit as I perhaps might do, having a unique look to the kitchen could work. Or, perhaps the entire unit could be tiled?
