I am thinking to get the Lumina of Emerald City. Just want to get some input from the owner of the previous phrases about the elevator, appliance and garbage chute and see if there are any major issue. Any input? Thanks in advance.

Sound great that it is not going to be empty.

Phase 3 is cancelled because less than 75% was sold. Phase 1 and 2 is delayed 2 yet and the occupiancy is 2019! If you want money, there is no interest as the current rate is less than 2%.

Jennifer Kwan ? It sounds like a chinese lady. I doubt they will upscale the mall. She will definitely approve the condo though. There got to be money for her for the mall expansion. My guess would be the condo will be replaned though. We might get our money back and have a chance to rebuy the...

It seems that the south builds are not going to happen. The north side may as well be re plan as the 3rd building is higher than those in the area. May be it is a good idea to talk to someone in the sales office and see what they know.

No sign of construction so far. When will they start digging?

Thank you so much for your information interest. I will update you if I got any result from ARB.

So after 1 year, ARB still haven't schedule the court day? It sounds scary... You mention they base their value on what the property would worth in arm's length sale. Do they back that on 2008 or now? I purcahsed mine nov 2011. They is definately an arm's length sale. Can I use this to fight?

So when you did the appeal, it was based on the 2008 assessment? Let's say if the market crashed and your area's property value dropped 50%, you still pay the same until 2013? That is ridiculous. My property is a commercial property. My rent is not even enough to cover the management fee and...

So I will have to pay almost double the property tax I should have pay for this year? This is so not fair.

I did the request of reconsideration to MPAC. They reply and said they have no right to change the assessment until next year which they do the reevaulation. I do not believe in their sh.. I have already file my appeal to ARB.

Althought I personally hate Karen Stink, look at how she back stab and the picture of her evil laughter. Pure Evil! The extension of sheppard LTR would make it much faster to get to downtown. Celebration is going to be finished in 2014. And I wonder how far behind would the LTR fall.

I like the subway plan though. I people in Toronto are short sighted. LRT will solve some problem in the short run, but in the long run, it creates more problems. It is difficult to take out the LRT and rebuild a subway in the future if the capacity is not enough. Building LRT will satisfy...

You need to first understand one's believe. Ford believes in helping those people who are really trying to make a life here in Toronto by working hard and establish themseleves in here. Land transfer tax and high property tax is bad for the city because it will shift the income by moving those...

Thanks interested. I know what to do now. By the way, you should clear your mail box. It is full. :)

Interested, I appreciate your help. May be I should try to appeal with the ARB myself first and see what happened.

Interested, I thought the reassessment is being done every other 4 years. The last time it was done is 2008. How would they increase year after year if the major reassessment is going to be 2012? I know they increase the property tax in 4 installments according to the assessment value. Could...

Theoretically, the property tax revenue is maintained the same, but I believe as a matter of fact, it is not 100% true. If you understand how slow the government adapt to change, and how many process they need to go through before any change is realized, the mill rate does not reflect immediate...

Today, when I pass by warden ave, I see all the celebration sign are replaced by Love condos. I wonder are the sale for High Power almost over so they allow Love condo to take over their sign locations.

So it is better to sell within 2 years then. I think in the future years, there is going to be some change in how we manage condo. For example, the property manager that I never see in the office can be removed and we can have one property manager manging a few condos. We should think more about...
