I don't think the developer will let their investment go to waste. I think it's far more likely they will suspend sales, regroup - do things right next time, and then re-market with all the proper permissions, zoning, assessments and regulations met. Remember these are all in place to protect...

Maybe though he does have a problem if the pad isn't kosher and doesn't have a dropped curb along it's length, allowing people to park there and block in. Regardless of his motive, i'm not sure it's appropriate to give his address on here. And as others have mentioned, he's just...

All very amateurish on behalf of the developer IMO. Did they really think people would not notice this far-from-minor detail? Or did they think the market is so demanding that people would snap it up regardless? We are now seeing some urgent back-pedalling it would seem. I don't know much...

The plot thickens once more... I understand what you're saying about development costs being passed onto the buyer in the end, so it makes little difference. But the burning question for me is why didn't the developer submit all of the paperwork while the building work was going on? It...

I would guess around 6pm is the best balance of available sunlight and when most are home from work...

I was riding the subway on Saturday when a couple got on at Landsdowne - a guy who I gathered was looking at this project and a loud woman who couldn't sing it's praises highly enough. She was practically begging him to go for it - saying it was one of the best areas in the city to buy into...

Very interesting! I want to know more about the flyers that were being handed out - any chance of a scan? Was it you giving them out Sharkey? :D

I don't mean to sound like an ass - but shouldn't your lawyer have been able to answer these questions for you? If I had dealings with my lawyer and ended up walking away with unanswered questions, i'd be hunting for a new one. If (s)he doesn't have answers, I would worry about the level of...

There is something up at Dundas + Morrow - on the south side. You will know it if you saw it, v sketchy building. Gang bangers?!? Ha!

I don't think it would, but it explains some of the "flying under the radar" that's been going on by the developer. I don't think it would be too hard to get the city to re-zone, so i'm confused by the goings on. Surely any lawyer worth their salt is going to pick up on the zoning issue right...

Yes it is - I wouldn't be too concerned about it though - I know a lot of people who have mistook it for a genuine massage parlour :D and in all my time in the neighbourhood I have never seen anyone come or go. My friend who lives next door is perplexed as to how they are still in business, such...

I live in this area so I know it quite well. I have a friend who rents in one of the buildings on that side of the street, just a few buildings up from FFL (near the "Plush Spa" - which is not a Spa btw ;) ). To access his apartment I go via the service road/alleyway to the rear of FFL. There...

I took a look this weekend. I personally wouldn't buy in due to the details; crappy built-in desks making the suites seem like hotel rooms, the cheap laminate flooring (polished concrete would have been much more suitable) and lack of parking (parking is a must for me - but for those working...

Tarion has a process in place to deal with incompletions - for a lawyer to start holding back would go against that and I imagine that would cause more problems than it would solve. I think many lawyers who want an easy life and easy cash wouldn't entertain the idea.

The majority of problems listed in my PDI are still unresolved, 352 days after taking occupancy. I am partly to blame though - I accidentally submitted my 30 day form one day late, Tarion refused to accept it, therefore no inspection. I made sure that the year end form got in. All 6 pages of...

For those who are hoping to renew for two years before the implemention date to save some cash: Source

I know that High Park Lofts has a policy of being pet-friendly.

Just reading this thread with interest... (i'm also a recent British immigrant!) sorry to hear you're having so many problems. Just to give some guidance on registration and the rent/occupancy fee/phantom mortgage - I moved into my new build condo early September last year. Although it was in...

The key here is that the others are listed at a lower price... with bidding wars becoming more and more common in the city, list means nothing. Last summer I was outbid twice on a $260k listed condo [went for $290k] and a $235k townhouse [went for $287k]. List means nothing in an in-demand...

I thought i'd get ideas here in the first instance... I know getting a lawyer between us is an option - but the logistics are a nightmare. You've got residents who are livid, residents who are placid, residents who don't want to cause a fuss, residents who don't want to be contacted...
