Right but then again you do have to admit there is an increased propensity for achololism amongst the economically disadvanaged. yup, which is why I said it'll be an inventive way to finally end proverty in this city. :p

yup was there just last week, had some overpriced wings & beer @ Mill street, should gone to Regent park for some decent chow. :(

Simple equation: Distillery/booze + low income earner/welfare recipient = perfect marriage made in heaven/next Regent park Well only if they can earn enough to afford it, maybe that's the masterplan to finally eliminate proverty in this city.

It's exactly this competive nature that give rise to the Chinese economy, back in the 80s everyone in China pretty much enjoyed the same living standard, there were no competition amongst your neighbors or even in a wider sense between companies, simply becuase everything was state owned &...

In China the burden of a first home purchase falls squarely on the shoulders of the parents, it is almost a widely recognized law that the groom's parents are to provide newlyweds their first house, first car or you risk turning your boy into a life long bachelor. For most of part these parents...

Some posted here a while back that" the province and feds have announced $23 million in funding for 218-new affordablerental units for low-income families and seniors in the West Don Lands. The federeal money is flowing through the government’s economic action plan. The city is waiving $4.3...

No matter how you look at it, majority of the new precon condos are sold to Chinese domestic/foreign investors, just go to any sales centre you'll see. Prices in Shanghai went up by 10 fold in the last 20 years, your average new detached house now costs around 4 million CDN, a townhouse 2...

In Hong Kong psf for new delveopment within the city core about $1500-$2000. to a foreign investor anyone buying now in TO would still stand to quadruple their money til we hit ever that mark, ;) remember these are artificially generated slow downs, not a real demand erosion, as soon as any sign...

Notice I said linear kitchen works best for sub 1000sqft units, having a wrap around breakfast bar just takes away too much living space, besides I go to the local pubs to sit on a tough, uncomfortable bar stool, but can't find myself coming home & enjoying a nice relaxing dinner while sitting...

yup, also this project is headed by Centrecourt, they are new on the sence, Peter street would be their first go at it. So if there is to be a softpatch in the market down the road, I wonder if you'll see a repeat of the lengthy delays experienced by buyers in the 2006 time frame.

In today's market it's crucial for one to appreciate the literal sense of the word "bedroom", bedroom simply implies a room with a bed in it.:p

The fridge is a cabinet panel builtin unit, so it won't be all that obvious, the whole linear set up makes the it looks more like a typical condo wall unit free of the clutters you would normally associate with the kitchen area. See pic the actual units would be a bit wider offering more...

Peter street units are ridiculously small, they are purposefully designed to attract investors, all I saw at the sales centre signing purchase agreements were either chinese or east indian investors hoping to capture the allure of the entertainment district, hyped by all the agents there as the...

Sadly having a bedroom dresser is the ultimate luxury these days,:D think you maybe overly harsh on GG, unit sizes in the downtown core have shrunk drastically in recent years, all developers are trying to maximize living area at the expense of bedroom size. Just check out the floor plans of...

Yup, unfortunately more and more condos these days have kitchens placed that way, often the kitchen is aligned on one side of the wall as you walk in, the island is right in the middle of hallway, one has to squeeze by the island to get to the living area, There are also a 1 bed+den and another...

Thx Cdr, Good Idea! I would definitely try to have pocket doors installed, not sure if it would be offered though. I like the fact both of these are wide units not your typical bowling alley set up. The 570 is a NW facing unit, most condos these days are mere glass towers, having a...

1 bed NW corner billed at 570 sqft. 2 bed 2 bath/ N at 625 sqft. seems to be efficient use of space. :)

read through the revised documents again, traffic is a none issue, looks to be a total of only 86 parking spots, 73 resident/15visitor, for a building of 353 units, that is very restricted. Nimbys always get in the way of progress.

There is gonna be a 40ish mixuse building going up next to dundas square, that corner is within stone's throw away from the square, the centre of retail and tourism. I don't see why a 40ish tower would be a problem as there would likely be many other developments in the future along this...

Just received a set of revised purchase documents from GG, they have reduced the height down to 39 with a 8 storey podium, (why 39 not 40?) I am still hoping they would try to get the originally planned 46s, is this final? Not sure all this works, is the application for 46 still going through...
