Carturo, Regarding your balcony.. I was there that morning. I looked at that unit. There is a reason why you got that unit. Nobody else before you wanted it.( and believe me. There were many people before you) That balcony is basically a boxed in frosted glass cube. It is also going to be...

I certainly hope you are right Carturo. Your comments have me feeling optimistic for Saturday. Anyway, I try to stay fairly even keeled in situations like this. If I don't see exactly what I want being available and at reasonable price, then I simply turn on my heel and walk out. I've been in...

I don't know about you Spadina,but I am getting a tad bit annoyed. I thought I would see those promised plans and price list by now. Only a couple of days to go..

Thanks for that tip, Roy. I liked the look of that. Just placed an order for the redwood decking. It wasn,t cheap. My bill for four cartons (80 sq. ft.) was over 600.00. Will let you all know how that turns out (with a photo).

I was hoping to see something by now too. The pricing 'appears' good, but of course the size of the units will dictate that. Looking forward to Saturday too. I wonder if the kitchen they show in that promo pic is standard, because it looks like quality stuff. I know there has been some whiney...

Having some difficulties finding something myself. Indoor/outdoor carpet is out. Spotted a a stick together linoleum product at Home Depot that looked reasonably realistic to smooth granite. This really is meant for indoor so I wonder id it would hold up through a couple of winters. They also...

I was thinking the same thing. As Solaris says, there are certainly no guarantees, but the odds, I think, are very good that a west/north view of the city skyline would be safe. Overlooking those rooftops are about as scuzzy as rooftops can get though.

Hmm. I just started thinking about some structures that " stick out like a sore thumb" in this city. Let see.., The TD Centre, The Museum's crystal, The Ontario Art Gallery, oh, and how about our biggest thumb, The CN Tower. Can anyone think of more? Hurray for sore thumbs. ..or should I...

You forget to add that block of concrete sitting at Scott and Front. The St. Lawrence Centre.

No Kidding! It's amazing to watch. Friendly ironworkers that smile and wave back too. Regular photo updates are promised.

..earlier today

How can I argue with that logic. I'll bet you own a 'Rolex" that only cost 25 bucks, right?

Thanks Interchange! What a relief or should I say reprieve. I had seen an earlier illustratration a number of months ago that looked different than this. I assumed this was now the updated version. I wonder what the 25 Esplanade people saw recently, that seemed to generally please them...

Oh oh. Kinda reminds me of a super cheapened One Bloor with that balcony design. I see the that the balcony design on the south side gives a very slight leaning out effect. Again, a super cheap Ritz Carleton effect. What really puts a knot in my stomach, is the podium. I know it's main...

Crappy phone camera shot from the weekend. Ironwork going up quickly. Looks like the LTower's podiom is starting on the east side. From what I saw of the model in the sales office some time back the the facing is going to have a very interesting patterned horizontal ribbing effect. I don't...

Great bar too (not that there was anything wrong with the old one around the corner). Get Jason to make you a martini. He's not shy with the Gin.:p

OoH! A corner unit, huh? Do you think there will be a special fire sale on this one? ..Sorry

???? Herry! If I'm not the first, then let me one of the first to welcome you to Urban Forum. ..Just a friendly suggestion.. Your comments, opinions,and insights are welcome to the wild and crazy diversity you will find here. ...but the above may not be one of them. The secret to an...

Have to agree with Casaguy here. This will be 'THE' building to claim as your Toronto address in a few short years. As for rental rates, they will be adjusted accordingly and landlords will get them, although I suspect there will be a high owner occupied percentage in this location. If you can...

Love this building. The fluid vertical lines and shapes create a real eye candy treat for these old 'boxed out' sore eyes. The balconies are fascinating. This building will look absolutely amazing on this corner. As for the floorplans.. I just can't quite put my finger on it. How does such an...
