Well put Blovertis. As long as the fans are paying too dollar for an inferior hockey squad they might as well paid top dollar for an inferior condo. Difference is at least with the seats there is an understanding that the purchase is mere consumption for entertainment as opposed to...

Come now UD, you don't believe that the 35 year old North York native became an international steel magnate through hard work and determination? But it sounds so plausible to me!

Seriously, you have to concede the humor in this development. Where is the appeal to live besides a sports complex? Only in Toronto! What I see here is essentially a poor man's Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle. Instead of Whole Foods they get Longos. Instead of the Mandarin Oriental...

There are already THOUSANDS of new condominiums in the area with a healthy amount of resales every month. This project was marketed entirely on the rep of the hockey club. Did you not hear the advertisements on the radio? It was Joe Bowen, famed Leaf announcer! People in this town are such...

Walt- A new condo costs $360 per square foot on average. A 800 square foot condo costs $288,000. It probably rents for about $1,700 or $20,000 annually (please correct me if I am mistaken). Property tax is about $3,600, CAM about $4,000 ($0.50 per square foot), Insurance and Maintenance...

Call me a cynical bastard, but the premium that the developer is getting for this project simply because of its link to the hockey club is a giant punk on the people of Toronto. To pay that kind of money for such an inferior location just because the hapless Leafs are nearby is an insult to the...

Condo Troubles The amount of new condo product in places like Miami pales in comparison to the tidal wave of development in Toronto. Although much of the product in Toronto has been put under contract prior to construction, a strong case can be made that a very large percentage of those buyers...

No offence intended, but that logic is just so incorrect and it pains me to no end to constantly hear it being repeated. It's one of those ultra-tired cliches that continue to linger around any real estate related discussion- 'they're not making any more land!' (miami condo bust), 'real estate...

Jayo, you obviously are not familiar with prices for land in urban toronto development spots. They are catastrophic! High land costs and lawyers of additional levies and taxes, in addition to public benefit provisions all contribute towards the push for higher density projects. Get the land...

Didn't take long for me to figure out that the SSC page is populated primarily by teenagers so I'd rather not waste any further time and effort there. Daytrading can be very rewarding- but also addictive, or so I've learned.

Obviously written by someone who has never spent any time in Manhattan. The comparisons are utterly ridiculous. And furthermore, it is not as though high rise apartment living in Toronto is a new concept that has emerged only in the recent condo boom. There are 30 year old condos in this...

Whatever he has made in the past I assure you is small time dollars and was subject to enormous risks, not the least of which is illiquidity. Similarly, I can point you to thousands of people who made money flipping houses and condos in Florida and Arizona until that giant house of cards came...

UD my friend, you and I are cut from the same cloth. Those advertorials are getting so ridiculous these days. It no longer takes a jaded eye to spot the inherent conflict of interest. In this project, as with many in existence today, quality is out the window. Unfortunately that doesn't...

Some facts to consider: (please correct any glaring mistakes) Annual GTA Population Growth- 100,000 Average Household Size- 2.5 people Annual GTA New Households- 40,000 Annual GTA New Condo Sales- 15,000+ That number seems astonishingly high to me given the size of Toronto relative to other...
