    Markham Place Condos (VHL Developments) - Real Estate -

    I guess I bought into the 2nd phase late as my OD has always been summer2010. I too thought they were ahead of schedule. I remember reading a Star article in 2006 about this project, I didn't think anything of the year as most projects are delayed at some point (looking@blossom across from the...

    Markham Place (Markham & Sheppard, VHL Dev, 2x 16s) COMPLETE

    I'm not impressed with the colour either the white makes it look like a regular rental building I hope they pay more attention to detail with the interior. I also notice they removed the decals on the top side of the building now its just a big plain slab. In the rendering it was supposed to...

    Music Stores (HMV, Virgin, Sunrise)

    I agree. but anybody remember buying a portable CD walkman?? You couldn't fit it anywhere other than a bag and it only held 80mins of music, very inconvenient. Technology progresses based on needs and the never ending search of convenience. albums turned to cassettes for portability...

    Music Stores (HMV, Virgin, Sunrise)

    I remember paying $36 for a CD just b/c it had a sticker that said "import" HMV and other specialized music stores have been price gouging for years. People still buy music put they're not throwing away their hard earned money anymore. What buy a CD for $15 when a can buy it from Best buy...

    How is "phantom rent" calculated?

    Its because the $833 could be stretched to 12 months = thats $9996 you could have paid towards your principal that goes into the builders pockets. You are pretty much up to the mercy of the builder. If they gave you an option to move in once registered then it would be fair. Plus how many ppl...

    Star: Shopping wars: 'Screw it, I need some bags'

    My point is that these corporations are claiming to be EF and act like they're making a difference but its a facade. They've done nothing but charge us for the same thing we were getting for free. Nothing else. and like the article said it only costs 1-2 cents to produce one plastic bag so why...

    Star: Shopping wars: 'Screw it, I need some bags'

    This is a cash grab for retailers. If the key is to be environmentally friendly(EF), fine as an individual I will take ownership and recycle. What are you as a company doing to be EF? Charge your customers??? Why don't YOU donate to these charities with YOUR money not OURS if you really cared...

    X - The Condominium (Great Gulf Homes) - Real Estate -

    so if you didn't upgrade there's no lighting for the room unless you get a floor lamp? is this common with builders I thought ceiling lighting was basic? the quality of fixtures is another story I would understand an upgrade for that but some type of lighting should be standard?

    X - The Condominium (Great Gulf Homes) - Real Estate -

    levy and development fees

    I'm in a 10 day cooling off period my lawyer requested a cap on these fees but the builder refused to budge stating the low cost to high quality of the condo prevents them from cutting costs further. they also said the fees would be around 5k...I heard horror stories where builders hit you with...

    Markham Place (Markham & Sheppard, VHL Dev, 2x 16s) COMPLETE

    there's not much info on the builder or much buzz but this seems like a natural place to build a condo community. There's not much if any new condos being built in scarborough outside of SRTC
