Thanks interested. Interesting that you should mention this. Brad Lamb seems to have a habit of buying to live (mainly his own developments), then sells and buys another to live - just about at the "expiry" of the future premium. To my knowledge, he has done this (at least) 3 times.

Well balanced discussion guys - thank you. I'm curious papperchopper, how exactly are you shorting Cdn RE? Short the builders, Inc trusts (can that be done?). I didn't think that a US style credit default swap mechanism process existed in this county. Nor do city "housing indices"...

Forgive me - I have some very stupid questions. My apologies if this subject belongs elsewhere on the forum (where?) I am trying to assess the probability of the % differential in bubble decline (assuming it occurs/continues) between pre cons, new(er) builds, and older buildings (say...

Tell me now why I shouldn't buy here. I thought you were pushing this project onto your friends. Do you have any financial or other interest in this project? Please disclose.

CDR108 - This WAS the friends and family pricing! $370K for the unit, $35K parking, $4K locker. I noticed that the "VIP" broker's preview (5 days earlier) had a LOWER pricing structure (and a high 4% sales commission)! As for The Avenue, some have taken occupancy, some listings have found...

Hi all, I think I need a reality check. I have just "purchased" a W-facing 510 sq ft unit (with a nice layout and view 12th/F) with parking and locker at the new 111 St. Clair Ave. W. Imperial Plaza. Price tag? $400K Showroom was crawling with SE Asians signing their contracts. I noted...

Simuls, sent you a PM

Sure, I heard that while management wasconsidering initial pricing this summer, those suggested "Manufacturer's Retail Prices" have been slashed by $25,000. Of course, I do not know this for sure. Perhaps someone else has heard more. The development has not been formally launched but...

The "new" Imperial Plaza conversion/new build addition is rumoured to be priced starting at $580psf up to $900+psf, and this apparently after a rumoured $25K in pricing was adopted internally by developer Camrost-Felcorp. Pricing: $300K to $3million. I don't consider Avenue Road and St. Clair...

Does anyone have any idea if the rooftop will be common balcony space? Or maybe a courtyard on the ground? Or will the top floor views be for the penthouses only? I can't imagine being cooped up all day in a (nice) limestone building without some "balcony" fresh air. Has anyone seen any...

Live in the 'hood at Ave and St. Clair - walked by the other day and there was white boarding around the perimeter. Don't recall seeing the standard "application sign". It's a nice but not very well-kept spacious corner property. May have some historical/heritage/Forest Hill value. Haven't...

Who is the buyer of 129 St. Clair W? Barnicke has informed me that the old Imperial Oil bld next door (111 St Clair W) has been sold for the purposes of condo/mixed retail development. They would not reveal the buyer as the deal has not yet closed. Lots of land behind this building...

How did you hook up with the unit? Through developer? Investor? RE Agent? Am looking to buy - resales (and assignment sales for other bldgs). New build developers getting too greedy on pre-build pricing. Whom can you recommend that has non-MLS access ie. some inside access/awareness of esp...

Sq Ftg? Orientation? floorplan? Price? Locker? parking? Would seriously consider buying if I can find the right unit at the right price. What have you got? - Cate

First off, I would suggest making it clear that this new forum is for folks who actually have product inventory to buy/sell (versus agents trolling for new clients). Would also suggest that B/Ss declare upfront whether it is a private sale (FS By Owner), or agent/broker selling (FS by Broker)...

I was JUST offered the same on the 35th floor for $322.9K (supposedly also the "old" price) ! With whom did you deal and can your guy/gal get me a better offer? asap pls if possible - c

How may I contact your partner and what is the "new" price? - c
