This is one of the biggest scandals to hit Ontario. Dalton McGuinty and his Ontario Minister of Education Broten should be locked up and the key to their cells thrown into the Black Sea. This is the saga of how a traitorous premier has made the provin…

How can you tell when there’s a long weekend coming up? One of our favourite tell-tale signs is looking at all the development industry event happening the weekend right before. Since very few developers hold events on long weekends (they need time off too), it always seems like there’s twice as many events the weekend before. Proof? Just look at how many events are happening this weekend. From high profile condo opening like 109OZ in Toronto and SoBa Condos in … Read More

We got our hands on some fresh renderings of IT Lofts earlier this week and were very pleased to share them with the world. Now we’re here to remind you of the Worsley Urban Partners project’s opening event on Saturday (May 12). It’s a special one because it’s the first opportunity potential purchasers will have to get in the sales centre to get the real deal on this Little Italy development. There have been no VIP opportunities so this is … Read More

Statistics Canada reported today that April was another good month for the labour market. The Canadian economy added 58,200 jobs, most of which were full-time and all of which were paid positions rather than reported self-employment. Paradoxically, official unemployment increased as more Canadians entered the labour market. This development provides an important reminder that unemployment [...]

There’s nothing sweeter than a suite release, especially when it’s at a high caliber project like Picasso on Richmond. Sales have been moving along very smoothly at the Goldman Group and Monarch development. Check out our interview with Michael Budovitch of TradeUp Real Estate to get the low-down on that. In light of the strong sales, a new suite collection, dubbed “Sky Suites”, was released. The new collection, which includes 12 new layouts, has reached hot cake-level sales pace. Despite … Read More

Midtown Toronto is one of those perennially in-demand areas that has been a highly sought after place to live for generations. We love the area around Casa Loma and firmly believe it will remain an in demand neighbourhood for generations to come. Are we doting on it too much? Sorry, we just can’t resist! Speaking of things worth doting on, South Hill on Madison, the new Midtown Toronto development by Burnac has quite a few enviable attributes that will have … Read More

Because sometimes one crane isn’t enough, the construction crew working on Pinnacle on Adelaide have erected a second crane to help get the job done. Talk about doubling your efforts! Pinnacle International‘s 43 storey tower is currently under construction at Adelaide and John. The estimated time of completion is 2013, so we’re guessing this second crane is going to help them attain this lofty goal. After you’ve checked out a few more construction pics below, why not read all about … Read More

Former Progressive Conservative premier Ernie Eves has finally been hung at Queen’s Park.

When it comes to areas for innovation in the real estate world, the purchasing process doesn’t immediately jump to mind as a compelling area to pursue. But when you think about it, there are a lot of reasons to pay more attention to the process. Often the success of a project is judged by how many people pack into the sales centre on opening day. This makes for great publicity and photo ops, but it’s not too enjoyable for the … Read More

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Parker on the 2012 provincial election campaign. As founding members of the Whitby-Oshawa Young Liberals, we have worked closely together over the last number of months to build a strong Young Liberal…

Kudos to Ontario’s NDP for this, but it’s not enough to force chain restaurants to simply list caloric content with their menu items. All restaurants (chain, small, fancy and otherwise) should be required to list the complete nutriti…

Omar Alghabra was the Member of Parliament for Mississauga—Erindale from 2006–2008. He ran again in 2011 and parliament is a worse place without him in it. Omar is a strong progressive voice and his positive attitude is infectious. He was nice eno…

A couple weeks back we wrote about Local at Fort York’s enviable location in the up-and-coming Fort York neighbourhood. It’s certainly a great spot with a ton of features that are being developed (pedestrian bridges; Loblaws; even an underground tunnel!). Although Local is in a location so nice you could say it thrice, this isn’t the only big draw that it’s boasting. Local is the third project in Onni‘s four phase master-planned community. It’s an intimate building in an intimate … Read More

The Province of Ontario has recently published the new rules, regs and best practices around how School Boards should police the ways a school raises money for school purposes. For the most part, it is a pretty innocuous doc. But the two bullets in bol…

TAO Condos, the new Richmond Hill development by SigNature Communities, pushed the envelope when they brought on a Feng Shui master to advise them during the design process. The same envelope was given a second shove when TAO released their awesome interactive YouTube video that showed viewers the many versions of tranquility they could experience living there. It looks like TAO are envelope bullies, but we’re totally into it because they’re back pushing the envelope with their new “Traveling Condo … Read More
