http://5condos.com/floor3/floor%203%20suite%209.pdf Case in point ... add up the interior space per room and see if you come anywhere near 855 square feet. Oh, and look at those 2 puny windows to light up that mole condo. Who knows, maybe this was marketed to overseas dyslexic investors, no ?

The awards mean nothing ... the floor plans for this development should have won an award for worst floor plans and use of space EVER !!

This is supposed to be 661 interior space with 263 exterior terrace and unobstructed western exposure over skyline. Is this a good use of space ? http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/album.php?albumid=96&attachmentid=7374

I just hope that the weight of that MASSIVE structure doesn't buckle and cave in on top of the subway line. YIKES !!!

You've done one super neato mockup, that's amazing. Can't say I like the idea of something that high with such a massive podium butt-up against Yonge Steet though.

Wow. Thanks for putting that perspective together, and it's really accurate by the scale you picked. That other proposed condo on Grenville, will be a few floors less but directly south-west, it's going to be dark and WINDY !!

I'm trying to visualize what 2 x 58s on that block would look like ... and it might really overwhelm the street and neighbourhood, especially considering the other tall buildings being proposed in the general vicinity. Yuck.

Wow. I wonder how 2 x 58 stories will impact property values at 25 Maitland (The Cosmopolitan condos), especially the west exposure ones ? The units at The Cosmo are already somewhat depressed in comparison to the rest of downtown Toronto.

If this unit is high enough, I guess higher than 15 stories, and the building is 46 stories, to the south would be 192 Jarvis' roof top, looking down, an empty parking lot, then a co-op building and a bunch of other stuff due south, but also due south slightly to the west is a park, to the west...

I perused the floor plans for the new PACE and was mostly disappointed, but this one stood out as a winner, kind of. Big bathroom ... wasted space at entrance, but might have magnificent views and light if higher up. http://urbantoronto.ca/album.php?albumid=96&attachmentid=7048

No, people will still be able to get pissed drunk at Mounties, or eat the stale donuts at Coffee Time just to the west of PACE.

I hope there's balconies facing south and west, because they only seem to be facing north. Yuck. The south and west views would be magnificent, but what's the point if you can't go outside onto a balcony / terrace to enjoy it ?

Hey there. 192 really isn't a dump considering the cards they were dealt. But, they did not have a reserve fund established from their condo corp's birth and had to play catch-up, and then to deal with the lawsuits with the city of Toronto re: rubber stamping shoddy construction that contravened...

There is a 20 story / 66m high Hampton Inn proposed for 203 Jarvis ... not sure if this is still going to happen, but I always wondered what was going to go up there ...

Even if the low 200's are studios ... even if real estate values go linear in Toronto for the next half decade ... low 200's downtown is unheard of, even for bachelor/studio units ... there are 350 square feet studio units going for 250k+, 450 square footers going for 300k+, 500 square footers...

192 used to be a MERB ... converted to condos shortly afterward ... with no reserve fund. So ... they had a special assessment put in place with a 'time limit' .... but it never did expire. There's still a special assessment in place, probably forever. PLUS ..... there was a law suit against the...

I used to live/own at 192 Jarvis for about 3.5 years 1997 to latter part of 2000. It was, and still is, the gateway to Regent Park, so I'm very familiar with all the colour and flavour of the neighbourhood. As you put it, 2 blocks east of this intersection is one the poorest sections of Toronto...

Good pictures. You can tell it's not going to be ready any time soon. They did initially have a requirement to have it finished by the end of February 2011 in order to comply with the Fed's stimulus funds requirements, but that was extended across the board for everyone. I guess if it wasn't...

Got my meeting notice for this today, it's going to be held 31st March 2011 at St. Andrew's Evangelical lutheran Latvian Church, Lower Hall at 383 Jarvis St, from 6pm to 9pm. There will be some kind of opportunity to view the plans and ask questions.

What exactly are you going to want to store in the outdoor storage areas ? I'm going to assume the outdoor storage area is unheated, too, since the access is from outside. That's a lot of storage in that apartment, which I guess some people would like, but it's kind of weird. On re-sale, I guess...
