Congrats Jay for getting the mid July move in letter. We're in suite 707, on the north/east corner. Greta view of shoppers drug mart and mountain equipment coop. Ha. What unit are you? We may have to share the elevator when moving our stuff in. Thanks Kaji for defining what context...

We are on the 7th floor and have a tentative move in date of mid July. I am very excited to see how they finish the building. Hopefully it will be classy and disperse all the negativity. What are you meaning you mention 'commissioned' in the above post? To my knowledge there are NO POOL or...

Here is a picture that i believe confirms that they WILL be painting the columns and exposed concrete with paint and/or a textured coating. The picture below shows them testing different colours and textures.

Does anybody know what type of retail/restaurant/cafe will be at street level of M5V? I haven't even heard rumours so I am curious.

Saw Scavolini and marble deliver trucks. I suppose they are dropping of the kitchen counters and cabinets. Hopefully M5V is on schedule for opening june/july. I do have to say i am very disappointed in the cheap looking beige aluminum siding they put on both east/west sides of the building...

I just heard back from M5V and they told me only a few ceilings did not meet their 'high standards'. Only those people were offered the choice of painted or plastered ceilings.

I am on the 7th floor and have heard nothing in regards to ceilings. This leads me to believe that several units have this problem and those owners are being contacted with a solution at a discount. Please keep us updated. I certainly would NOT choose the white painted option. Looks like shit...

Regarding the balconies. Yes, from underneath they do not look great. I feel this might be because the concrete needs to properly set and dry. It will hopefully look more uniform in the summer. Also, all condos with concrete balconies have that raw concrete unfinished look. Can anybody on here...

move in date A few people here were asking when it was meant to be complete. I have a move in date of July 2011 on the 7th floor. I hope there are no delays so the date will remain true.

This picture was taken on Friday May 14 of the construction guys putting on the first piece of the glass facade with the colour inserts.

we have been contacted and it looks like they (tas/lifetime) are delivering most of what they promised. some of the upgrade selections seem to be missing from the original ideas (led lighting, electronic room control systems, etc). however, that issue happens at many condos developments. to see...

Condo Observer, where are you getting this information? How do you know customization has changed? What is your source? I have been in direct contact with M5V over the last several weeks and nothing of this sort was mentioned or discussed. Also, no letters have been sent to owners in this...

Residents are still waiting for the design portal to go live after almost a month of delays. We have called 3 times over the last week and half and each time they would say later that day, to no avail. M5V makes angels cry. Bueller... Bueller... Bueller...

The M5V design portal should be up and running soon so residents can choose their finishes. Get your cheque book ready! These things are never cheap.

good news i suppose... I just received a letter from M5V stating that i have an appointment with their designer in Feb 2010 for the selection of finishes and colours. Our move in date is confirmed for June 2011. I hope they stick to that, but knowing how condo construction always get delayed...

i just got a letter stating the "confirmed occupancy" date is NOW July 15 2011 (we are on the 7th floor). Holy Shit!!!!!! We bought in 2007. THis is going to end up being a 5 year process. Anybody else get a letter last week?

Actually, you were not allowed to use the gift certificate until a certain amount of down payments were made. UPDATE: I walked by the Fluid Living location and it looks like it is definitely over. However, it looks like the name may have just changed as the furniture inside looks the same as...

When my girlfriend purchased her unit they had a promotion where you get a $5000 gift certificate for Fluid Living. Obviously, she was planning to use it upon moving into M5V to get some new furniture (or a single chair as the place was expensive). I just happened to drive by the Fluid Living...

My girlfriend bought a unit on the 7th floor and received a letter stating tentative occupancy to be January 2011. I dropped by the site last week and spoke to a construction worker who said they only had 2 more metres to complete 5 levels down. I would imagine a crane will be built on site...

I really hope the 2011 is a misprint in Toronto Life. I was shocked when they moved the completion date from nov 2009 to nov 2010 at the residents meeting as if a year was nothing. I feel like grabbing a fucking shovel and digging the hole for them. I wish they were more communicative in...
