Ah, I suspected as much. I guess "trick of perspective" was a nice way of implying that the render is inaccurate. Still like it, though, 13 stories with setbacks will not overwhelm.

Yes, and the upper levels being glass will be less overwhelming still.

Email received from the Developer this afternoon:
Thank you for your interest in The Berczy, a boutique collection of city homes located directly across from the famed Flatiron Building and Berczy Park. Developed by award-winning Concert Real Estate Corporation, The Berczy is just a few blocks from all the very best of the city, including Bay Street, Union Station and the St. Lawrence Market.
If ultimate convenience, culture and community are what define this amazing location, then The Berczy’s classically-inspired contemporary architecture and exquisite Chapman Design Group interiors are what define its charm. A collection of only 161 city homes, The Berczy is a refreshing alternative in refined downtown living.
The sophisticated condominium homes at The Berczy range from 560 square feet to 1,980 square feet with the majority priced between $295,000 and $795,000. The homes feature one bedroom to two bedrooms plus a den, many with extensive private terraces. Building amenities include a beautifully furnished party room and lounge, a fully-equipped exercise room, a luxurious spa with steam rooms and saunas, a yoga room, a theatre, two guest suites, a roof terrace and a heritage-inspired landscaped courtyard.
The Berczy Presentation Centre is currently under construction and will feature a full two bedroom display suite plus two additional kitchen vignettes. As a Berczy registrant, you will be invited to preview the Presentation Centre and Displays this spring prior to the pubic opening. In the mean time, we will continue to keep you up to date.
We look forward to introducing you to The Berczy – a building that will exemplify Concert’s reputation for providing excellence in design, construction and customer service.
Sincerely,
Concert Real Estate Corporation

Is there an advantage going in with an Agent or is there more room for price negotiation if you represent yourself.
In other words, how does the commission structure work on pre-construction purchases?
Besides commission, do agents get the option to purchase prior to buyers on their own?
Thanks in advance!

Well, if it's a popular site you won't get in without an agent, especially if you want to get pre-construction prices. By the time projects get sold to the general public and "walk ins" the prices have been raised significantly.
Also, when you're buying from a builder there is pretty much zero room for price negotiation. If it's a very popular project your agent can cap your closing costs and get you a favourable "Assignment Clause" thrown in, but in this market forget about negotiating prices with a builder at the pre-construction stage.
You're better off with an agent than without (mind you I'm in the business, so one can argue I'm biased, but if the builder's paying the commission why not take a good agent with you?)

don't sign up with your real name ifyou already have an agent ...
some builders will use your online registration with them as a reason to exclude your broker from being compensated ( that's if you have or want to go with one )

Just got another update...
Thank you again for your interest in The Berczy, a boutique collection of city homes located directly across from the famed Flatiron Building and Berczy Park. Developed by award-winning Concert Real Estate Corporation, The Berczy is just a few blocks from all the very best the city has to offer, including Bay Street, Union Station and the St. Lawrence Market.
At only 13-storeys, The Berczy is designed to complement the lovely heritage buildings surrounding it, while still expressing a contemporary style of its own. The building’s attractive terraced architecture is one of its most distinguishing features, presenting a graceful transition to the more modern aesthetic of its upper floors while at the same time providing extensive outdoor space for many homeowners.
There are also important environmental considerations which have been integrated into The Berczy’s design and construction. These include green roofs, energy efficient mechanical and electrical systems, systems and materials chosen to ensure superior indoor air quality and the conscientious reuse of existing materials during the building process. The ultimate goal is to achieve a LEED Silver Certification or better.
The Berczy’s dramatic terraces, spectacular inner courtyard and exquisite Chapman Design Group interiors promise a matchless living experience in an atmosphere that is at once, cosmopolitan yet unpretentious.
Construction continues on The Berczy Sales Centre which will feature a full two bedroom display suite plus two additional kitchen vignettes. As a Berczy registrant, you will be invited to preview the Sales Centre and Displays this spring prior to the public opening. In the mean time, we will continue to keep you up to date.
We look forward to introducing you to The Berczy – a building that will exemplify Concert’s reputation for providing excellence in design, construction and customer service.

Anyone know when sales are supposed to start?

What a sad excuse for a building this thing is. A few floors of generic historical pastiche - with a top-heavy, hedge-your-bets, neo-Modernist upper section slapped on for good measure.

I agree. It looks very c.2003 Toronto. Across from the flat iron, I'd expect higher standards in architecture!

lets just review what a beauty this one is... and this is going to be on hell of a view with L Tower filling in the background too!

I think it looks great. Wholly appropriate for the site. It'll all come down to the quality of materials and execution though.

It fits in fine. Let the Flat Iron building be the star here, which it is.
