Have the maintenance fees gone up, or is it still $0.43/sq ft? I heard they don't let you pay your maintenance fees with a credit card, which makes sense, but if they did allow it, I'd have so many free trips racked up from rewards points. If I could pay my property taxes on my credit card...

How busy is the exercise room, pool, and golf simulator? There's going to be 1000 units sharing it, and right now only half of the units are occupied. The reason I'm asking is if it's busy now, it'll likely be twice as busy once the people in M3 + M4 start moving in. Does anyone ever...

If they bought that whole block, they could easily build 3, 4 or more phases. Like you said, that intersection is one of the most sought out in the whole city, and I'm sure it would still sell out relatively quickly. The key for them is whether or not they get approval to get this built. I'll be...

Any word on which businesses will occupy the retail space at the base of M3 + M4?

If it's just one tower, I doubt Bazis bought more than 3 or 4 buildings. If it's a huge multi-phase development it's possible they bought more, but the less buildings they buy, the more profit they make. If they could build a 57 floor condo by just buying and tearing down 2 buildings they'd do...

Is there any way to find out exactly which buildings they bought? I assume the closing dates on some of the buildings that they bought are yet to come, but it would be interesting to know just how big this project really is, we know it's big, but exactly how big is it?

That's incredible, that's a massive plot of land, how many buildings do you think they actually bought to be able to build a 57 story condo? It seems like it's going to be an amazing development in a prime location.

I wonder how much they spent to buy all those buildings, they bought at least 4 buildings at the northeast corner of Yonge and Eglinton. How easy will it be for them to actually go ahead and build this? They have to buyout all the tenants with current leases, and then get approval for it to...

Apparently, economists are calling for the Canadian real estate bubble to burst within the next 3 years, plunging home values by up to 25%. Add to that the rising mortgage rates, and everyone will be paying the banks more for a home that's worth less. I just bought a condo, but I'm happy...

Has anyone ever been to the Downsview Park Farmer's Market? Is it any good?

Yummy market is just north on Dufferin, it's not within walking distance, but it's a decent place that's less than a 2 minute drive away. Kaze sushi also opened up beside it recently, it's pretty good.

I like this project, I'm very familiar with the Dufferin and Lawrence area, I grew up a few minutes away from there. This will definitely improve the area a lot, and for those who've purchased units I'm sure they'll enjoy the large terraces and many amenities.

Bathurst and Centre is also right beside Promenade Mall, within walking distance. Yorkdale is close to us, but it's a 2 minute drive, not a 2 minute walk. It's also a developed area, whereas our area is developing, but to get downtown from Bathurst and Centre is a lot more difficult from there...

Right now the builder is selling some units in M4 for $450/sq ft, so the fact that the 358k 1+1 has been on the market since January doesn't surprise me. Why would someone buy resale for $525/sq ft when they can buy it new from the builder and pick their own finishings for $450/sq ft?

Right now, 358k for a 682 sq ft 1+1 unit is a bit too high, that's about $525/sq ft. Considering the seller likely bought it for somewhere around $350-$375/sq ft, he/she likely won't get that much for it so soon. However, there's a limited amount of subway stations in this city, and being...

Can anyone confirm how long it took from interim occupancy until M1 and M2 got registered? Was it essentially 6 months from when the first person moved in?

I just checked the retail price of the upgraded hand showerhead I got, it's $70! I paid $210 for each, so it's 3 times as much. Wow, they're making huge profits on these upgrades. I guess if I were to get all of these upgrades on my own I'd pay $2000 instead of $6000. I expected the upgrade...

I'm aware, I also could have upgraded the cabinet handles for much less by myself, but I figured I might as well just get everything I want all at once and not have to worry about anything after. I think all of the upgrades are overpriced, $900 for an undermount sink is a bit steep, but it would...

What kind of upgrades did everyone get, and how much were they? I spent about $6000 on upgrades including HST. Here are my upgrades with approximate prices: Upgraded laminate flooring, the standard options looked really really cheap. ($1500) Undermount sink ($900) Upgraded tiling in...

If you need the extra 15 sq feet it's worth it. If it's $4000 you're paying about $267/sq ft, that's much less per sq/ft than anyone paid for when it comes to their actual unit. For the maintenance fees to double, the funds would have to be managed extremely poorly, but from what I've heard...
