kinda wish they'd keep the red there to provide some color to the area. It's cool.

YES! That red looked GOOD!

Menkes should be embarrassed.

From stylish to completely utilitarian- they really didn't bother at all.

At what point is litigation an option? There really should be some kind of score assigned to developers based on how closely they deliver their products to what was shown. Once you’re able to establish a reputable “score” that’s known to everyone, like a Walk Score or LEED certification that impacts value, these kinds of things will be minimized.

Hahahaha wow. That pool is pretty bad. It's even worse when you compare it to the renderings. This is a material change for sure.

They came up with "Waterfront Innovation Centre" *nudge nudge*

You think you are getting a spa, but you got a community centre instead.

This naturally brings me to my second question:

Developers these days try to sell a lifestyle. That is, yes, you will have your tiny shoebox in the sky, but the benefits are these classy amenities totaling 10s of thousands of square feet. A spa pool is part of this package. What happens when they don't deliver? I assume there's a neat clause in the contracts that allow this, but given the way these shoeboxes are sold, material changes to amenities should be treated the same way as material changes to the actual unit.

 

[TheKingEast]

Pathetic. Not surprising though, this condo boom has shown us how greedy and underhanded some of these developers can be.

More like a hotel pool.

 

[Toron]

It's not only the materials, it's the size and the actual concept.

Failure.

More like a hotel pool.

Not even.

It really throws me off - everything else in this complex seem so well executed - then you get this pool which is a joke.

I don't think the condo is aspiring to be Motel 6 (though who knows, with the AirBnB crowd)...
