I think Pemberton uses their own subcontractors? If that's the case, to me it feels like they just didn't get paid enough to not rush. With the shortage of good trades/the good ones retiring, plus the rising cost of labor and material these days, this is what we ended up with. (Social was capped...

Pemberton is more than capable of not cheaping out and doing a good job, BUT ONLY if you overpay them significantly. If I'm not mistaken, U condo was charged 800-900/sqft initially (when every other condo was going around 400-500/sqft downtown back then). Currently living in another Pemberton's...

Curious to see how many floors they will try to build now this is a rental building.

There is more work left to be done on those front areas (another glass layer to be added on top of those metal bases, so far glass layer has been added at the entrance portion only) and the lights are still not functional. I don't know why they can't do everything in 1 step and have to...

Send an email to the customer care and ask - mine has the exact same issue and they said they will do a 1-time repair out of courtesy (if anything similar comes up later it will go to the 1-year form instead). It's been a few weeks since they said that and they haven't done anything yet, so if...

Not for this building but I'm a home owner in another one of Pemberton's new build (social condo). I didn't bother in my case and I closed last week at least, so I only paid 1 month worth of 0.1% extra. Technically it should and it is worth trying (ask your lawyer to send an email to the...

Pemberton has always been a slow builder if you look around all the other buildings they had recently (time and space (the google reviews are so sad to read), social, 543 richmond etc.). It seems to me what they are doing is just minimizing the workforce used at once (their contractors, such as...

Yea same thing, mid August. They try to get away with whatever they can get away unless you bring the issues up (and in my case I followed the Tarion guideline to the dot and only focused on the most obvious and important things, and it was still an extremely painful process overall). Sometimes...

For all the homeowners reading this, a few key issues in my unit: - All the gaps between wall and window frame need to be caulked and sealed properly, all 4 sides including the top - I believe otherwise overtime air will start leaking out/in - Check your caulking in the washroom, they should...

Imagine someone buying this in 2021 and won't be able to take occupancy until 2029. All of a sudden that $2000/sqft pricing doesn't seem so bad now. :) Hope they do a good job on the interior of the unit (and really, they should just stop using the cheapest paint possible, a bucket of high...

What does this mean? They currently don't yet have the OK to build the building after they get to the grade level?

I just don't see how these policies are of any use in Toronto and Vancouver. As if these minor changes can make or break it lol.

I'm relatively new to the field of real estate, but a huge pit with this much work involved will probably need some time to 'sit' or 'burn in' before they can do more on top of what's already there. At least that's how it looks like. The social at church/dundas was a huge pit for a good year or...

I agree with you that if someone is completely blind going into their first purchase and just can't understand the contract language (especially first time foreign buyers, well they no longer allow them temporarily for now at least), then it would be a good idea to have a lawyer to walkthrough...

Hi, If you don't get a parking by next Friday I'm happy to rent out mine to you, thanks.

At the end of the day I really don't think having lawyers reviewing the contract helps that much, unless the buyer is a first time buyer who has no idea what's going on. Most of the terms/clauses in the APS are standard (especially with bigger builders like Pemberton, Tridel etc.) and the...

I talked to my lawyer about this - The 10-day cooling period is written in the Condo Act (it's online and you can search for keyword there to read that section yourself), so if you don't make the request to change the payment structure outlined in APS during that timeframe then you are out of...

Thanks - I'm going to be paying 5k ish once the occupancy starts (2 bed), and of course everyone I spoke with had no idea when closing will be, fun times ahead lol. Just to vent a bit to everyone who's reading this - my PDI had lots of imperfections/chips/scratches throughout the unit and quite...

Out of curiosity: for those who have started their interim occupancy, how much are you guys paying every month currently? Were you given a closing date? Mine is coming up in March and just looking around at the BOC interest rate it is kind of crazy to say the least...
