I own a suite in Discovery 1. I had one of the earlier PDI's and also commented on the lobby, which was VERY lacking. Maybe you wont have a lot of visitors, so it could be OK, but not for me. As for the town houses... no offence to anybody that owns one, but from the outside, it looks like...

Yeah, they need 8 of them.

My main driving factor for purchasing back in the day, was GO train, TTC options. IKEA is just outside, so I can quickly furnish my unit inexpensively. People complain about urban sprawl, but that so cliche. This condo is right next to the 401, likely a high traffic area due to the...

Funny you should say that, but he's only handling the sale of the condo, and our existing house. The condo and first and second house were all new builds purchased direct from builder. But i'm sure he's giggling still.

No, I'm not a property mogul. Selling the house and upgrading. BTW, if you plan on keeping the condo and you signed before 2007, you will get a credit for the MLTT. I had to remind my lawyer about that, since he I wouldn't be entitled to any land transfer tax credits. Not to be confused with the...

With property taxes and maintenance fees on top of the mortgage, I was prepared to pay $1500 a month. To be honest, I was hoping to have sold it already and not deal with any of the monthly fees. My original plan was to move in when I was single... but a lot has changed since signing in 2007...

So just got my closing costs from the lawyer. Nothing too unexpected, except the occupancy fees. That's a bit higher than I was expecting. It's $1036 a month, pretty big chunk of change. And of course another 5%. I hear from my agent that they aren't doing assignments until at least 2 days...

As part of the PDI, the Concord representative who was there to go through the inspection with us marked all touch ups with stickers and they will go through every outlet with you, so no need to bring your own. I just brought a camera to take pictures. You get a copy of all the deficiencies...

I'm in Discovery 1 and I have unit 1 700sqf with 100sqf balcony. I would probably list for around $330K after occupancy. This is my first condo purchase, so can anybody tell me if land transfer tax is paid at the time of occupancy or closing? That's gonna be a pretty big chunk of change...

I bought an assignment, and didn't know about this option until PDI. Not a big deal for me. Every square foot is important in a condo. Does anybody out there feel that its a must? Curious because I'll probably be selling.

I took some other pics, but just rooms, nothing spectacular. The lockers and parking spots were already assigned. She took me down to the basement to show me the spot. Here's some more pics, knock yourself out :p

Actually Professor, the funds are held in trust, accruing interest. But no mention at what rate. Any interest accrued will be applied against the purchase price. It's in the sales agreement. I've been talking with my realtor, and we both feel the 500/sft would be huge, but unlikely. Discovery 1...

I think the bed is just a random staged photo. Nobody's moved in yet. They have that place locked down tighter than Fort Knox. There's a security guard at the entrance to the buildings , and a few more at the front desk. Security has to operate the elevators. So maybe cleaners preparing for the...

I'm sure there's more risk to your boys after prolonged exposure from carrying your cellphone in your pants pocket, but yeah, I would not stand in front of a crotch level microwave while it is in use. Yeah, I think the color combinations are pretty sexy. So who's selling and who's moving in...

Surprisingly I think the hood fan doesn't look bad either. As for the appliance brands, Frigidaire, is pretty standard builder appliances aka cheapest available. The microwave seems ok there, unless you're one of those that like to watch the window as your food is cooking. The washer dryer combo...

I'm on the 10th floor. Yeah, I never bought a new condo before, so I wasn't sure if the PDI being so far ahead of the interim closing was normal. Here's some pics of my appliances.

hello AC, Most of the information I provided was based on my own observation. I think the unit was a little nicer than I had expected. The granite counters, thermofoil cabinets and single piece glass backslash came out real nice. I took some pics that do it no justice, can post if interested...

A big plus i think is prime location for transit. Both TTC and GO. So possibly good rental income. Oh and Ikea is just steps away so you can save on delivery.

Just did my PDI today. I'm in Discovery 1, building A. Checked out my suite and everything looked great. Only small paint touch-ups required. Here is my initial thought after visiting the site. I think the townhouses at the the bottom of the building look like community housing. Maybe it's...

I received a letter too, but haven't opened it yet. I assume it would be the same letter. These delays are ridiculous. I was just at Ikea on the weekend, the building looked like it was making great progress. This is such a scam - if I was buying this condo as my primary residence, I'd be so...
