I just got three exact same email notices myself! Hope they don't have a virus. First they try to scam buyers with lofts that are not zoned for residential use, and then when they relaunch they kill all potential buyers' computers with viruses. Anyway, I love the building itself, so I will...

So the OMB hearing must have happened now since it was supposed to be May 25-26 right? Does anyone know what happened?

I agree with you dventura that the pricing for this project seems pretty reasonable given its proximity to Bloor/Yonge and Yorkville. I think it’s the Jarvis St address that keeps it a bit lower than the condo a couple of blocks west, but it’s a good deal. I have been considering it for...

Just watched that Brad Lamb show "Big City Broker" tonight. One of his agents bought one of these townhouses to live in, and he visited the site so there were quite a few interior shots of the place under construction. Just thought I'd mention for those who were curious to get a peek at the...

carturo, thx for the perspective. urbandreamer, I'm glad you clarified it wasn't intended as a personal attack, but i maintain that if parts of society, like myself, find 310 too small to live in, you shouldn't just call us inflexible surburban materialists. In any case I truly HOPE there...

You know, it actually is interesting and helpful to me to hear that someone has actually lived in a very small space and enjoyed it. I couldn't picture 310 sq ft. Its the kind of information/response I was hoping to hear, because it might actually help aid a decision in whether it is plausible...

I've been looking for an investment property and when I noticed there were units for $149000 I checked it out. The new studio units are only 310 square feet. I can't believe anyone could live in something this small. The price psf is $480. It goes down to $410 psf on some of the bigger units...

After the fiasco last time I would be shocked if they tried to pull something like that again. I suppose they scheduled the reopening for after the OMB hearing so they can just cancel it if it doesn't go their way. I have a friend renting in this area who's looking to buy something and I had...

Mike, do you have any idea if this proposal is going to be marketed anytime soon or if it will wait for the market to improve. I'm really interested in this one. I've lived in 18 Yorkville since the beginning and it's turning into a rich kid rental building. A nice lowrise on hazelton would be...

That May 15 date is rapidly approaching. Does anyone have any recent info at all into whether this project is going forward?

Does anyone know what the heritage designation decision was? Wasn't it supposed to be resolved yesterday?

Note to board: I am not going to engage in further arguing with Maestro. I think all the points have been made and nothing left to say.

Maestro, 1) I think its hilarious that just because I recognize that real estate is a good investment you 'accuse' me of being a real estate agent who's 'boss' is a 'broker'. You are insane. I do not work at all in real estate, I just have an interest and have made money with property...

Thank you Granny. It's nice to hear there are other people in the real world on this board. A story like yours is inspiring amid the doom and gloom. I don't have the years of investment that you have, but I did do extremely well with my first purchase, and it has totally inspired me to do it...

JayBee, interesting that you asked the question about 2 bedroom rent, because I just saw an ad for for 2 bedrooms at X that made me think about buying it as well. The comments are all very useful (except urbandreamers kneejerk and unfounded doom and gloom) and I think it could be a reasonable...

Grey, for sure people will outgrow their small condo units, and will upgrade to bigger spaces either in the city (they do exist, both big condos and LOTS of houses, in the city) or if they want they can go to the burbs. But your argument seems to suggest that there will be no young people ready...

I usually only come to this site for information on condo sites, and try not to get involved in arguments, but the recent comments on this thread made by maestro and urbandreamer are so ridiculous, misguided, ill-informed and completely wrong that I have to say something. Simuls is totally...

I just spoke to the planner about this project and he said the developer had submitted a revised proposal that removed one of the floors, so it is now a 7 storey building. This is hardly a concession. The planner also told me that the developer already had approval on a previous application...

Just saw you posted this report, thanks Solaris. I agree that after looking at the illustrations in that report, an 8 storey condo on that cute bucolic little street would look really out of place. It should be half the height.

From what I understand, if it a designated heritage property then they won't be required to have parking. I think this is what happened at the St. Lawrence Lofts, which were made available as residential lofts with no parking.
