Toronto YC Condos -- Yonge at College | 198.42m | 62s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

One thing I can say is that banks are dull, but at least they almost always maintain a very good sometimes nice appearance. On the other hand, many small store owners don't seem to care about the upkeep of their building whatsoever. On Queen W for example, so many small retails are located in crappy looking buildings. A TD branch usually looks 10X better.

Perhaps Yonge Street doesn't, but apparently, the residents of the neighbourhood do, otherwise there would be no demand for these services and they would soon go out of business.

Who wants to walk 7 blocks to drop off dry cleaning, divert several blocks to get cash, or walk 5 blocks north to get a burger? I don't find these retail locations banal - I find them helpful. I only shop at the lapidary shop once a decade.

 

[ChristopherC]

Have they started selling units yet? If so what percentage of the units have been sold?

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Well over 90% sold - and very quickly

 

[ChristopherC]

Wow! So does that mean they will be starting construction soon?

 

[chriskayTO]

Construction won't be starting until next winter at the earliest.

RBC's eviction takes effect on December 3.

Haha.. eviction
RBC sure was not evicted, if anything their long term lease was bought out by the developer

Call it whatever you like - the landlord exercised an option to have all tenants leave. Leases were not "bought out".

If it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck...

 

[Ramako]

It depends on the lease. Often times landlords will include development clauses which provide that the lease can be terminated if the building is to be re-developed.

It'll be interesting to see this go up beside Karma--whenever that baby finally gets working on the tower above the podium. Either way, Yonge/Carlton will have some nice density.
