Help me understand the appeal of the industrialness of Longbranch? I'm quite glad that things are taking a turn for the better. It's such a beautiful area of Toronto. I suppose you like the fact that the industrial On the main thoroughfares hides the inner beauty well.
Upgrades can get quite pricey and out-of-control quickl if you choose for them to...I could easily see them totaling well into the $50k range if you went full out. However, you can still get bang for the buck if you choose wisely and are frugal like me. I focused on upgrading the small...
My Design Choices
I just got back... I upgraded:
42" Kitchen Upper Cabinets (I have 9ft ceilings)
Kitchen counter top edge (nice thick square edge)
Stainless steel Appliances (not the premium...they were offered as a purchase incentive)
Ceran top range rather than the steel spiral elements...
Question on Finishes
What'd you all decide on? Although my appointment isn't until next week I dropped by as I was in the neighborhood and wanted to take a look-see. The salesperson forewarned me that they would not be able to ask questions and interact as they were conducting a...
Average Age -- In My Opinion Very Mixed
These condos have a wide assortment of condo unit types -- i.e. small 1 bdrms to 3 bdrm + den units -- and the area seems to be attracting a wide array of ethnic backgrounds as well. My guess is that it will be a very eclectic mix of university...
I agree with you that their choice of appliances and cabinetry is pretty weak. They were offering 'stainless steel' appliances, when I signed, that look pretty crapy as you can see by the picture of the stainless steel upgrade. You pay for what you get though...and they've been advertising as a...
I know how anxious you guys feel. I'm getting ansy... I ended up rescinding my original Gramercy Park agreement because it was way too far out in lieu of picking a place in M1... I'd hate to see it get pushed out any further as I chose one of the remaining M1 units for the quick turn around...
Sweet. Thanks for posting as I have yet to go in and make my selections. Are you able to share what the upgrade prices are like? The sales rep that I dealt with didn't share any of that with me...quite frankly it bothered me...and cited that I should call the upgrades department.
I'm...
Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension -- Impact on Metro Place Realestate Value
The subway's only going to help out with the condo value 'of course'. I was digging into the details on this and stumbled on this document from the TTC. Thought you guys would be interested if you haven't seen this...
Yes, I firmed up today. The sales office told me the only reason why they asked me to sign an amendment to the purchase agreement was because I was still officially within the 'cooling period'. Otherwise, the developer only has to tell you of any changes according to the terms of the...
They asked me to sign an amendment to my purchase agreement because I was still within the 10-day cooling period. The occupancy date was pushed back to the end of June 2010 and I'm on a lower floor. The salespeople also suggested that the condo corporation for M1 & M2 probably won't register...
That's what makes life interesting...not everyone's the same. To me the areas got lots of potential, a few steps away from an under utilized part of the subway line, a direct bus ride to York University, close enough to the highway, close enough to a great shopping mall, far enough from...
