I heard someone in an elevator saying that he has a unit at 40th floor. His tentative occupancy is scheduled for Nov 1, 2013. I, myself, have a unit on 62nd floor. Tentative occupancy date, unless it is changed again, is May 1, 2014.

In March 2008, when I had signed for a unit on the Executive Floors, I was offered a 'guaranteed' parking spot on either levels 2 or 3 for an additional payment of $ 10,000. That seems to be the reasons that the middle elevator does not stop at levels 2 & 3. This speeds up the movement. I...

This reminds me of a story that I read in the school textbook in England. A medieval king was not fond of Artists(painters). He decreed that to stay in his kingdom an artist has to prove his worth. To prove that, an artist's painting will be nailed to a tree in the centre of the city and...

Johnzz, a few days ago, I got a letter from Canderel that the tentative occupancy date of my unit, on 62 floor, has been moved from October 1, 2013 to May 1, 2014. Unit 6101 has been offered for sale at $ 871 psf. Of course, the real value will be established after a few sales have gone through.

Thanks for the sound advice, Daveto.

In the meantime, what does a potential home owner do? Rent ? And if you are an investor, then, perhaps, put your money in GIC/Bonds/Stock market? Returns on stocks/bonds are not that great these days. And stock market is behaving like a yo-yo. A close friend of mine has seen his stock market...

Guys, discussions have been sidetracked, first by recharts and then by others towards the statistics and away from this thread, that is "Bubble". Not too long ago, 'bears', ably led by one Interested and fully supported by Daveto, were predicting R/E market bursting and going to the level of...

At the rate of 1 floor pouring per week, plus time to finish the suites, it seems that the date of possession will be towards the end of 2013 or early 2014 and not late October 2013 given earlier by Canderel ?
