I'm a recent purchaser of a 5th floor west facing unit in N1 Cityplace. I knew something was going to be built in front of me but (based on plans) I knew it wasn't going to completely clear out my view. Also, the buildings should look fairly decent too. So it's a matter of exchanging one view for another. Plus, by the time this is starts construction I get to enjoy an excellent view.
Anyways, I don't think I, or anyone else in a similar position, should be too concerned about condo values going down. The amount of development that is still to come will overshadow any 'negatives' that some are concerned about. A community center, park, library, schools etc. will be what people look at. I don't see how affordable housing will make or break anyones decision to move to such a great location, even if the view is slightly blocked once they are built. The fact my view would be blocked wasn't a huge concern for me because I bought here for the location. Living in downtown Toronto with numerous amenities and facilities at my doorstep.... how can you go wrong? I'm more concerned with what i've heard about property management and some problems within the buildings. Let's put more effort in changing those things. Not something we have no control over.
Well that's my 2 cents.
