I also had a good experience with them in X2, the building was largely completed prior to people moving in. 1 Bloor on the other hand was a raw construction zone, in my opinion, in 2016. It improved eventually but over a year of living through construction noise, smells, dust, poorly functioning...

Occupancy in this building started in November of 2016; I hope they will finish this at some point. I believe Great Gulf takes on more that they can deal with, just too many projects.

They most likely had disclaimers, such as "artistic impressions only" etc, everyone has these, and it is not expected that reality would replicate the advertising. Yet, marketing cannot be deceptive. The concept that they were selling could be entiteled "Luxurious Urban Oasis", this was the...

The developer is simply greedy. They cut corners and did not bother with details since it was sold already. I feel that I did not get what was advertised. As for a renovation...it would be too expensive. The building is largely investor occupied and rents would not cover it. Then if you think...

I was at the meeting where it was said that a large lobby is expensive to maintain and not needed. Excuses will not get them anywhere. If you are into performing arts, you may know an expression "a theatre starts with its cloakroom." I believe that condo starts with a lobby, it is a first...

I guess the West side suites lost their chance to unobstructed view ov CN Tower because of the Lakeside condos? Is this correct? I was told that development is likely occur to the East of Monde and that West side is likely to remain unobstructed. It seems like the situation is reversed now?

I believe that Great Gulf is starting more projects that they could finish in a timely manner with attention to details. My original occupancy was in 2016. I do not mind this delay as long as they use the time to finish the project properly. It will be very disappointing, however if they will...

Does anyone know what are these white surfaces on the south side of the building? The odd floors have balconies but the even floors do not, yet there is some white surface protruding out on the even floor instead of the balcony floor. I cannot see very well what that is.

The roof is complete.

Whether an expensive repair is charged as a special assessment or increased condo fees for years, owners would still have to pay the cost one way or another. My old building (about 35 y.o.) was always well managed and reserve funds were adequate. We had elevators replaced, and overall...

In my older condo there was a building envelope project, the windows were changed in the entire building. The cost was exorbitant and it was for walls with punched windows. I am wondering how this process will look like with all the glass towers in Toronto? May be 30 years from now? Is it even...

With respect to some people commenting that the podium and the tower do not go together, I came across a presentation by Moshe Safdie of this project (waterfrontoronto.ca), there is a video clip. Surprisingly, both the podium and the tower were proposed to have cladding, the same as the podium...

I am also sceptical. The building is very appealing and unique as a project. When it comes to the reality, I keep thinking about 1 Bloor East, practically the same location. Many years ago it was also advertised as sort of center of everything, main intersection in Canada, project not to be...

It is all unofficial. I think an official update about the delays from management/board/builder is long overdue as situation like that is unusual.

I heard there will be no amenities or balconies access for about another year! It may be December of 2018 then. I never heard of such significant delays, the entire building is still like a construction zone after been occupied for almost a year. And elevators still do not work properly.

Are there any guesses as to when ANY amenities will open here? The occupancy started almost a year ago...

Allowed since when? Did someone said so?

Beware of glass sliding door upgrades in Monde. It is offered in many projects as a standard but I purchased them as upgrades for 1 Bloor. The frames were all scratched and they agreed to change but then I received a door that is too short. Looks like that, with wood visible - this is what you...
