They're such a mish-mash of random materials and colours...I wish architects could be more consistent haha. I understand that condos rarely have good podiums because they're usually not given great importance, but still, I much prefer things to be much cleaner and minimalistic, like the Lago building in Toronto for example.

Zehr Group has also left the plaza, so it seems demolition is imminent.

Good to know. I have also been seeing online marketing starting for phase 2

Looks like the next batch of towers about to go up are these two (36,40fl) TEK (45fl) and Q-condos (34fl)

That sounds promising, though none of those demolition projects impede the completion of the first tower, yes? 

Still trying to accurately gauge if this September move-in timeline is feasible.

I don’t think demolition for the next phase will have any impact on move-in dates of the first phase.

Judging by the site plans that note them as phase 2a and 2b, and my discussions with Condo Culture staff, I believe they’re constructing the next two one at a time… which seems odd considering they’re marketing/naming them as “Duo”.

Aye, already done so. 

The Developer isn’t required to be honest there, no answer of theirs is legally binding. 

We’re transitioning cities from northern Ontario, hence gauging community sentiment is quite helpful in this case

I spoke with a developer rep last week and she told me all is still on track + I would be able to see the unit or take a tour a month or 2 before move-in

This is very good to hear. We didn’t think to ask for a tour date, however we’re on floor three so I assume we’ll have a similar timeline for viewing.

Only issue I’ve had is getting a measurement accurate floor plan for the place - every mockup (and even building plan) seems to be missing quite a few wall measurements. 

Has anyone had luck in that department? Our interior designer is scratching her head without it. Developer said “the measurements are subject to change so we don’t define them”.

I’ve always just assumed that I would take these measurements myself when I get the PDI tour.

Also on that note… are folks going with the builder-partnered window coverings? They seem insanely expensive, so I’ve been exploring some other options.
