The Market Today
Word On The Street

The Word on the Street this week is that, a number of sites have just announced delays.

Old Thornhill Village announced that their occupancy will be shifted back a year leading to lots of calls and emails to me to help bridge this time gap.

Park Avenue, after occupying a year ago has not gotten Registration.

Five Nine On Richmond finally got their OMB ("Ontario Mulicipality Board") Ruling and the news is bad with a capital "B". The OMB Ruled against the developer specifically with regard to the height / shadow implications on the surrounding area and buildings as well as density issues.

The result will be that 59 must redraft it's site plan and resubmit to OMB for site plan approval. This shifts proposed occupancy by atleast a year which falls outside most of my buyer clients plans. We are meeting to discuss options and I'll update you once we hear back from the developer.


I spoke with him Monday morning and he has assured me that I'll have a "definitive answer" for my clients and reader by Friday (1-14-05). Tune in next week for an update.
