Right. So the developer has paid the DC's and looks like you are liable for any increase if an increase occurred. It is a bit confusing the clause but I guess if the DC's were paid later than June 1, 2008, and had increased, you are responsible for the increase. So you can check: when the...

No that is the development charge all right. I have never bought a condo but the developer should have paid those at issuing of building permit. I don't think that is your cost. Well it is buried in the price of your cond.

I used to like this string. Hope it comes back.

An accident happened through no fault of anyone's. The landlord likely feels badly about the situation and wants to make sure you pay your rent on time for the balance of your stay. And he/she wants you to leave the place in decent shape. If you have a decent relationship I would say he should...

Perhaps they should post head shots so others can judge them.

As much as $500 a square foot I would say. 155 Wellington went for $495 and Scotia Plaza for $630. Prime. I love seeing Dougie opine it is the top of the market and it should be sold. Like he(or anybody) knows.

I agree with all said in this post. And the last sentence especially. Those waiting for the big correction think they will be there to take advantage. The reality is IF a big correction occurred, those expecting to take advantage will be unable to do so.

Personally I think I would stretch to buy a freehold duplex somewhere. They come up I think. Condo rents have dragged prices up in older duplexes. I am thinking Beaches, Riverdale, such areas. Or rent the whole house. Was a time one needed to duplex to make sense of the model but I think there...

Well what will perform better over 20 years. Keeping the land, taking the rent(dividend) and getting the capital appreciation and not paying capital gains, or taking the capital gain and putting the money into, what? More real estate?

The courses are a joke. Cash grab is all it is. The continuing education (and primary education) are rudimentary to say the least. Anyone who takes pride in that education hasn't got a university degree or any advanced designation.

I have one in the works but nervous to post about it(lots of critics on the site). Suffice it to say it is in the downtown area, will be a stacked townhouse with 16 two bedroom suites for rent. It will be what I am taking to call "modern industrial". I didn't want any faux historical and I...

Oh please let this happen. At 2 times coverage, can it actually be stopped? 1.25 parking spaces, 2 time coverage. How could anyone stop it? Some of those condos would end up on the rental market. .8% vacancy rate. This is exactly what Newmarket needs. Please keep us informed of other meetings as...

Good call. I didn't know about that feature. Thanks for the tip. I am now Adma-free.

You'd feel differently if your family owned it I would wager.

I wonder how the neigbhbourhood is liking it. I am thinking SLNA(St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association) and other sundry groups. They were against a parking lot, a standalone Shoppers, and a tall condo. They got a tall condo. I regret that George Brown wasnt active in the market when this came...

I am just saying be careful what you wish for. Thin edge of the wedge and all. I am in no way defending the wedding cake.

What I don't understand is why the density is so low. 2Xs? Downtown is 8-12x's last I was involved. The projects on the 427 must be around 4 or so. Those beach projects the neighbours don't like are 4xs. Seems to me First Capital could have been way more aggressive. They must have bought it...

You might feel differently if you were the one putting the money up, mortgaging your life, putting your ass on the line, paying fees and jumping hoops and generally bleeding money and someone doesn't like your taste. [/I][/I]

I think we can all agree the building is not to our taste but one can't oppose a building because it is not to one's taste. If it is not according to urban design guidelines you can have an impact but you can't just kill a development proposal because it is not to your taste. And frankly, that...

My sense is alot of these "avenue" buildings are being built or being planned to be built. There have been alot in the Beaches and your Queensbury Terrace is a good example. It is further east, a small site, yet it is (I hope) going ahead. Any corner lot over 10,000 square feet in a decent...
