Further irony to all this supposedly '5-star' hype is the fact that Toronto/Ontario tourism is solidly in the dumps due to the soaring loon and many other fumbles committed by les incompetents on Queen Street. Stinson, may his memory fade faster than an American Idol runner-up, succeeded in...

Don't be so naive O-Dub. You didn't see a line for the Burnak project 100 metres east did you? How about the building next to the Marriott? Any media interest there? This is pure developer/broker sponsored hype.

Please forgive my negative tone again, but I have to completely agree and add that the precast with the ugly green glass looks so unattractive.

Valid point Asia. Venon is probably too strong. It's the completely oblivious raw-raw cheerleading and the bombastic proclamations and arrogance that leave a bitter and somewhere between skeptical and outright distrustful taste for this group. I have no dealings with them and no connection to...

Can't compare to Shanri-La. These bozos have no experience in this realm. Warehouse in Concord, check for yourself... Caveat Emptor.

You honestly don't believe that the buildings are capable of being renovated and modernized? Are you that sheltered? Are your sensibilities that jaded? Just another shining example of government abusive waste that could be put to far better use. Pathetic.

Your comments are ignorant. In an era of conservation demolishing perfectly workable structures to make way for $300,000,000 ghetto is gross negligence on the part of the city. Who did Daniels Corp. have in their back pocket to nab this job? Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

Convert the ownership structure from TCHC to private condo and watch the area magically gentrify. With a vested interest in the aesthetic of the neighborhood you would quickly find a major overhaul of the buildings occurring, landscaping, and a positive sense of ownership in the community. I...

Emporis shows about 4 buildings, with but 1 actual photo. Curious that a company with 13,000 employees would list Toronto and 1BE so prominently on their homepage. I would love to know the real story. Any non-brokers out there with some real info?

The relationship between the buildings they claim to have constructed and the group based up in the back of a warehouse in Concord is quite suspect.

ladies and gentlemen, my point has just been made for me by this shameless pitchman. two powerful words to all- CAVEAT EMPTOR

Yorkville has two faces. The residents are very much villagers in a large metropolis but it's the weekenders with their flashy cars, noxious odors and extended stares that give it a very bad name. Hopefully the emerging class of new residents will help change that image.

Are plots transferable?

There's an idea Shock! But is there a liquid market for plots?

'BYE' Rosie! Seriously though, this project really looks like a complete joke. Everything about smacks of amateur hour from the fromage marketing to the bombastic proclamations of supremacy over in the mother(goose)land. Am I the only naysayer here that believes that this group are a bunch...

I've checked out Josh. He seems like to be legit and a hard worker which is saying quite a bit for his breed. Josh, you would win big points in my books if you brought forth some ready, willing and able sellers instead of buyers. Again, apartment building owners know very well how to find...

It makes absolutely no sense to spend $300,000,000 to recreate a ghetto when the city could actually have MADE MONEY by converting RP to condos and letting buyers actually improve them and the area themselves at probably 1/4 the cost of new construction. This soon-to-be-mixed-income-ghetto...

Is Borat going to be there himself or his going to send his overweight friend with the videocamera?

I'm sure you know your stuff Josh. You just don't know apartments like owners know apartments. If I did own any, I would never sell my buildings while I live in this country. There is no rationale economic motivation to do it unless of course you've got a client willing to overpay...

Boy, somebody took a bath on this project! The economics probably started looking wonky back in 2005 when the project was running on its 6th year of development. I would guess that the developer completes this project only to save face with the old buyers and avoid having his reputation...
