Thanks for the info! When I called the Beaverbrook office to ask about this, they told me they are doing double drywall with insulation. If I read the ratings correctly, that should be worth a STC of 43-45, whereas a block wall of 6" has a STC of 46, so pretty similar. I'm relieved, to...

That's a pretty good guess....

I bought one here, on the opening weekend. I've met with the builder to do some changes to my unit and have also done my upgrade selections. I bought in the original building. Really, the process has been decent so far. The delay from start to finish hasn't been so bad (less than 9...

Solaris, you have a good handle on who has the capacity to do these deals! I'm told the buyer is in your second list.

I've just had the same thing confirmed by my friend in the know. He says that a major developer has bought the site from Baywood (as well as a few other ones) and will be pushing the project ahead. I've been told Baywood is still involved though, but the control of the site has shifted to...

Not just them. A few other big guys have worked on the deal too. My source is very involved with the sale process, and his info is good. I only bring it up because of the looming deadline. In terms of Tricon, my friend tells me they do land mortgages, equity financing, joint ventures...

A company called Tricon bought the Lehman Brothers piece. Lehman is no longer involved.

Project up for sale? I hate to comment on a rumour, but this one is juicy. A friend who is REALLY in the know told me that One Bloor is up for sale. A number of interested parties who are big in the condo market are looking at buying it. Not sure who it is, but he said the "big guys" are...

hey, i'm just relaying the info I was told. I have no clue as to if it is technically possible or not. March did sound aggressive, but I guess my rose coloured glasses make me want to believe. Still, June isn't too bad!

great to hear that things are moving on this project! This could really fill in the streetscape west of Spadina!

In conversations with the developer (to schedule my finish selections) I was told that occupancy is happening starting late this summer. When I pressed as to how that could be considering the tower isn't up yet, I was told that the old building is already in the process of being finished, and...

I bought here as well and was concerned by vedbetter's post, and called the city planning department. The person I talked to indicated that the timeframes are typical, and that the site plan approval often takes place well after construction has started. I was also told that the developer has...

yuck! not the nicest renderings, that's for sure. And they are missing a big "Wal Mart" sign at the top.

I believe the site was purchased by Candarel--the same firm responsible for DNA and College Park.

I would doubt that very highly--it looks to me as if the site is being excavated now, with lots of heavy machinery and people on site. (I bought a unit at the project and check it out every couple of days!) Also, the salesman told me the site is indeed "mixed use" and can be used for...
