I know one friend who just got a "shell" of a place, and built it from the ground up. I don't think most builders will allow this, as they have to warrantee what they do, and if they don't install a kitchen, then this interferes with the warrantee for the water pipes etc. Builders pretty...

You got off easy - for me they wanted around $1800 - the cut in the counter top was $900, and then another $900 for the sink.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could provide info on how long it has taken for their Toronto condo to close after they started occupancy? I realize this is a pretty complicated subject with a lot of factors involved, but I was just curious how long some people had to wait.

I hate those long balconies, they did the same thing on Zed, and they just look ghetto when everyone fills them up with their crap.

Just our of curiosity, if he wanted to get out of the deal, could he?

Has occupancy been updated, surely can't be 2010 anymore.

From that distance, sure it's a tad imposing. Regardless, easily one of the best looking condos in the area.

Especially given the fact that I was told occupancy was early 2011 at the same event.

You ... you mean ... finally ... I can Fly?!?? Cue the TechoEuroTrash music. Flyyyyy awwaaaayy ....

Toronto Star: Liberty Village highlights poor planning http://www.thestar.com/living/article/309422

OK - I've seen it all now. EuroTechnoCrap music, a picture of a flying origami bird, and a statement "How fly are you?" They pretty much use "fly" in every way imaginable. Marketing team on this is obviously caught in a pretty messy time warp, from the site after registration ... "THANK...

Accoring to this, their asking for 25% deposit. I wonder if the pending condo crash will have recovered by 2012 ;) http://www.kenyeung.ca/Aura_Condos/page_1751886.html Are the prices really the low 200's? All I could find was units starting at 300 000?

??? Toy factory is a perfect example - did they build the new section in brick? No, of course not, they put on a modern extension, and it looks modern - not tacky like corktown or Hudson.

I'm a little confused, in your first sentence, you mention how the building techniques in warehouses DOES NOT work (ie hospitals), and in the second sentence, you ask why the warehouse look is so hard to pull off? Sure, lots of warehouse "inspired" condos - nothing wrong with that, but when...

Where exactly did you see them laying brick? Because at the top you can clearly see the seems. So it's either molding, or the worst brick laying job I've ever seen. If you look at the building on the East side, you can actually see "buckling" from sloppy installation. That's the main risk...

Noted - seems we all have our pet peeves!

I would disagree with this. If there is a positive about the Hudson, it's the fact that it is not a true eye soar, and kind of "disappears" in to the background. That is unless, you are driving East, and have the sun glaring into your eyes from the reflection in the windows. In terms of the...

Hey, thanks for the defence. I'd just like to say I'm a pretty big fan of these forums - been browsing them for a while now. Sorry if the review came across a little harsh - but it was honest, and I pointed out specifically what was wrong with it as opposed to just insulting it. I can...

You know, I'm not so upset that these are 3 pretty shitty looking buildings. I'm upset that these are 3 shitty looking buildings designed by Quadrangle Architects. I mean Jesus, what happened? What where they thinking? First off - the fake brick facade. The Hudson pretty much proved this...
