Where are these “marble pillars”? Encased inside of the polished.concrete.columns?
Always encouraging when people involving themselves in multi-million dollar real-estate listings unveil themselves as to not having a clue about the fundamental materials and assemblies of buildings. Did the previous owner of the condo opt for the ‘rust-proofing’ upgrade, too?
I always wondered who lived in that one with the treadmill surrounded by all the flowers. Turns out it’s no one.
Or you could go the 8th floor and get wrap around windows http://sothebysrealty.ca/en/property/ontario/greater-toronto-area-real-estate/toronto/31108/
The photos are rather inconclusive in positively determining the column materials. Have you seen the unit in person to establish your “polished concrete column” claim?
To the realtor-> really subpar presentation ( at least for useful information ) of this property on your site, incorrect URL to the virtual tour: http://http://gpphotoca.zenfolio.com/p66675906?slideshow=1;
I hope you aren’t serious?
a) You seem to be ‘that guy’ that needs to chime-in on every TL real-estate listing. One would hope you’d at least have the breadth of knowledge to know how involved and unrealistic such a substitution would be in multi-unit residential construction?
b) You can clearly see the horizontal banding caused by the Sonotube form in the Realtor’s listing (evidence to “establish” my claim). Pop over and compare that w/ the untreated columns in Graham’s listing below.
c) Man…
Looks like they/she pulled the word marble. Buck-up, Victoria ;)!
never was serious, just a difference in opinion coupled with a crappy monitor ;p
2.8 million to live 100 meters from where 2 men were gun down and killed!?!!!??
They should have thrown in a bullet proof vest given what happen 100 yards away last week.
Also…..if a “building” remains HALF SOLD after one year maybe its overpriced? Maybe?
C’mon stop this fear mongering…this is a great neighborhood and Wellington street in particular is a historic, heritage street with a European feel. This shooting was an isolated incident, and really, unfortunately the shootings are happening all over the city, so where do you move now… you have this problem even in the suburbs. The whole area is undergoing a sort of a renaissance with a new Whole Foods store opening up in a couple of years, an upscale mall (as per RioCan), hotel, new restaurants etc. In a meantime with all new development in the area the number of clubs is decreasing.
