The floorplans are pretty good... I'm trying to figure out if I have enough room to add a kitchen island/breakfast bar.
Ladies and gents, I see a lot of "positive" discussion about the state of the Printing Factory Lofts at Queen and Carlaw. I also bough in this building back in October 2006 and I am eagerly awaiting completion and occupancy. For those of you who have driven by and seem to thing that the giant pit in the ground means that construction has begun.....please think again. I did a little research, and I am in the construction industry...and this is what you ALL need to know... The development application has not been granted Site Plan approval yet. Without Site Plan approval, a Building Permit cannot be granted.....and once the Site Plan is approved, it can take up to 2 months to get a Building Permit. That is why there is NO crane up yet, and that is why no footings have been poured and not foundation has been constructed. All they have is a demolotion permit....I urge you to drive by the site again and look around, now that you know... it will take you 2 minutes to realize that only demolition activities have occured to date. I suggest you ALL call the builder (Beaverbrook Homes) and request an update and convey your concerns, as I have done. This will get them moving to fulfill their Site Plan conditions...sorry for the "downer" but I wouldn't want future neighbours in the dark about this. This is a reason for concern!
A little bird told me ~3 to 4 months delay.
