Welcome to the forum startower41, I didn't think $4,500 for smooth ceiling in a unit your size is bad at all. I've know some people who paid close to $2,000 just to get their living room done pre construction. I do have to agree though, some upgrades are plain rip-off. I upgraded to pot lights...
We bought in the Star tower and have heard nothing on occupancy, I am guessing sometime in spring/summer 2012.
North tower was topped off last July and it's taking more than a year to start occupancy, now that's S L O W !
Thanks for the pics Padrinho and welcome! I don't think there are any issues with sharing interior pics and finishes, I would love to see what it looks like ;)
Glade to see I am not the only one who feels that way...
Not sure why it's taking so long, do you think they are waiting to get the south tower topped off then switch their manpower to star tower?
Thanks for the pics guys, the view will be great from up top!
Haven't seen any plans yet, I've left a message with Mike at the City over a month ago and never heard back. Didn't think it was going to be this hard to look at the construction set...
Has anyone went in to pick their finishes yet?
Hi Builder and welcome to the forum!
I would love to see the exterior elevations (I have a copy of the staff report but the pdf is not so clear when I zoom in), 1st floor plan and a floor plan of a high floor (17-40).
Thanks Builder!
Glazzing up
Thanks Solaris & marcus, I'll give Mike a try one more time and hopefully he's able to help.
Here are some photos from today, they were installing glazzing on the North West corner of the site. Not sure if I like the spandrel colour, it looks a little too dark for me. For some...
Hey Solaris, I left a message for both Mike and Shelly and never got a call back (I’ve also e-mailed Mike since he was very helpful on the phone before), I figured they were busy so I went to Etobicoke City Centre and the planning department asked me to fill out an application and that’s...
Frustrated
Well, I went to the City Planning department (end of March) and they asked me to fill out a form so that I can review the plans for the development. I finally received a call back from the City saying I can review the site plan but need a letter of consent from the owner to be able...
Thanks for your reply Khris!
Now I don’t understand how the crane goes from resting on a 4’ or 5’ deep concrete slab (at foundation level) to a 6” slab as it rests on floor plates when it gets raised…. I am not a structural engineer or anything but it doesn’t make sense to me.
