Hi guys, Does anyone know of any forums similar to UT, but for other cities - ottawa, calgary, vancouver, montreal etc? I would like to check out some new condo developments in those areas thanks

bit off topic, but just wanted to respone to a couple of posts about this: new TO apartments are overpriced relative to design, layout, amnetities etc. heres 4 links to 4 condos near where i was in sg. the 1st one is more luxurious than the others but some similarities can be seen...

they look good. i dont know anything about modeling programs though. anyone know what the most famous/common ones in the industry are?

agreed. this friends experience is very rare. i have never heard of such a thing before; at least in this day and age. Such stories were somewhat more common in this industry in the 70-80s. afransen - true. he and most people lacking a basic education qualification have no other career...

depends on the career you want and your "luck". A good friend of mine never went to university, and is the youngest associate director (fx sales) in our bank ever. He is 23 making over 300k (bonus this yr was 200k). If you look at him it was def. much more rewarding to skip school. He was...

green is good. im in singapore right now and the greenery here is fantastic. it really transforms the city. tbh, TO needs to learn how to imitate the condos here too; all are perfect (apart from price - avg price for a 2bd is about 2mill+)

looks good. quick question; why are the majority of condos in toronto built so close to the streets? All condos ive lived in previously/seen in Asia have gated entrances or at least somewhere where visitors can park and wait (ie taxis, guests) right outside the lobby. Is it just toronto...

I agree with simuls's points. I personally would never live in a house if given the choice. I've lived in condos around the world for the majority of my life and love being downtown. The liveliness and close proximity to everything (work, restaurants, shops) is great and i would pay a premium...

Thank you for the links. They were helpful.

thanks for the link. I like the look but I agree with Matt Blackett. It would have been nice to add some colored backgrounds or trim in order to differentiate main city areas. The logos are just too small and not very eye catching.

any pictures of these new signs?

jaycola, nice links. I dont think anyone has said TO is terrible. Its just that we want it improved. I am not personally happy with being in the top 10-15 - its good but not great. TO should be in the top 5. Some serious planning and strategy is needed for that.

Archivist - nicely written. It is true I/many complain but it is a great city nonethless. Moments like that are a great reminder. Everyone should pause talk a deep breathe and just sit and watch the city move about.

Anyone know of any sites with price lists for condos in TO or even other cities? I am interest in buying in TO but its difficult reaching the builders and sales offices while living overseas. I would like an idea of pricing and the lists would be helpful rather than making numerous posts on the...

I am not white. I am mixed and enjoy being around people from my background as well -eastern european, asian, arab. I have also lived in many different countries. Only one difference is I wouldnt use color to describe anyone. Chinese are people from China; using black i find racist as is not a...

black population? what happened with diversity and getting along with people? I am not even black but find that quite racist. Very strange request.

well said Investor. I find it strange that anyone could possibly think that property values could go up in the next yr or two. Also your statement deserves repeating: "past performance is absolutely no assurance of future performance". What real relevance is it that property has gone up...

looks quite nice. i like it. any units still available?

GraphicMatt- What i meant with that is im not a big fan of our immigration rules. This is relevant for the whole country; not TO specifically. I dont believe we have as big of an immigration problem as the U.S, UK, France, Germany; but i expect the best from Canada. I find that the many of our...

read a post earlier in this thread comparing toronto to hk, paris, london, tokyo, ny; which is quite absurd. Toronto is a spec of dust relative to those cities. I feel that toronto has great potential but it is not and has never been comparable to any of the above cities. those cities are...
