I have a question for any mortgage brokers out there... Mods - this seemed like the best place for the question - please move if not appropriate... I am pre-approved for a condo purchase that was initially supposed to close in 2009 (yeah - right !!) but now looks to close in late 2010 or...

Grandfather Clause? Any word as to whether those of us who purchase prior to June, 2010 but who close after this date will be grandfathered. There will be hundreds of people who purchased a condo in excess of these amounts in 2007 or 2008 who expect to close in 2010 or 2011. Will we have to...

A few pictures from March 8, 2009 Took a few pictures this morning. Phase 2 is just about up to ground level. You can see the entrance to the parking levels in one of the pictures.

Great pictures - thanks for posting them. Just counting up all the floors and unless I'm mistaken, they look as though they are working on the top floor - 36th of 36 !! I'm enjoying watching this tower get built. You Phase 1 Buyers must be excited to see the progress. Are you still...

Princing Update I was in the Sales Office over the weekend to take an initial look at colours for my suite and was chatting with the sales agent. It seems as though even in this economy, prices have increased since the sales office re-opened last summer. A 1427 Square Foot unit with a NW...

If anyone is interested in a 2 Bedroom + Den, 2 Bathroom Assignment at West Harbour City Phase II, please PM me. I purchased in early 2007 but with the recent delay in the target completion date to December 2010 (with the potential for further delays) I'm reconsidering as my daughter will be...

Just wanted to get some input from the group... I began looking at a waterfront lot in August this year. Beautiful lake, clean, 900 feet of waterfront, nice flat lot, etc. The lot already has hydro and telephone service. It's about 3.5 hours away from the city but in an area I like and...

As a purchaser of a unit in Phase 2, I guess I'm on their E-Mail list. Anyway, got a note from them today stating that they are going to be offering $5,000 cash back on a 1 Bedroom and $10,000 cash back on a 2 Bedroom starting this Saturday. Obviously things are a little slow right now and...

Has anyone been in the sales centre for Phase II of late? Curious to see how they have been selling since they reopened the sales centre for Phase II. I'm sure all sales offices have seen a slowdown over the past few weeks... Noticing a lot more places offering 5% down vs. the 10-20% they...

This is from a forum on the Toronto Star website. I'm sure prices are coming down a little but not quite 15% across the board. Some interesting numbers reported here... Overall, I think it's an interesting perspective. On the reported 15% price drop... "No doubt very upsetting to anyone...

Official Delay Letter We all knew it was coming but I got my official letter today telling me that Phase 2 has been delayed from December 2009 to November 2010. My guess is that it will actually end up being Spring 2011 for me as I'm on one of the higher floors...

Certainly don't mean this as a doom and gloom posting but thought I'd share my experience with respect to current selling conditions... This January, we sold our condo downtown and moved into a rental until our new unit (pre-construction) is finished. We were on MLS on a Tuesday, had 12...

Am contemplating a move from Toronto to San Francisco and would be very interested to get the perspective of someone from that area who now lives in Toronto. Anyone ? :)

2 New Pictures - August 17th A couple of new shots taken this afternoon. Looks like they are working on the 19th floor...

An interesting thread - I tend to agree with some of the points being made by both "sides" I thought I'd add my perspective on things. I currently rent a 2 Bedroom + Den at 35 Mariner Terrace about 1/2 way up the building. I'm in my mid 30's, married with one child and am a renter by...

I'm fairly new to this business and have a general question regarding the price paid per square foot for downtown condos. Specifically, I just don't understand the differences in price per square foot between some buildings that are very close to each other. Specific comparison - I was...

Some updated pricing A little more info from the new Phase II Sales Centre. (1) Unit 2403 - 1423 Square Feet, 2 bedroom + Den, 3x balcony, SW Exposure is offered at $684,990 with one parking space and one locker. $481 per square foot. (2) Unit 2406 - 1427 Square Feet, 2 Bedroom + Den, 3x...

Phase 2 Sales Resume - Much Higher Prices Cool re: the Facebook Group - I'll join for sure... Also - Phase II goes back on sale over the next week or so at much higher prices (as to be expected.) I purchased a 1427 square foot unit on the 23rd floor last spring and the exact same unit on...

Some new pictures taken this week Looks like they have just about finished the 8th floor (at least the western side of it. From the way they are building, I guess they will be putting up this tower in stages... The second crane will start building the podium portion I guess... Will post...

WestHarbourCity Sales Centre to Reopen Just posted on their website... Looks like sales are going to resume shortly for Phase I and II. Also Phase III which I believe will be immediately behind Phase I? WEST HARBOUR CITY PHASE 1 & 2 WELL UNDERWAY: SALES WILL RESUME THIS SPRING! Drive past...
