Exactly

I figured I would send an e-mail to Charlesfort to see where this project is at. I've been told there will be a lanuch by the fall of this year. So something to look forward to.

Cheers,
Josh

Just curious: what happened to this project?

Let's get this one approved folks! It's one of the best designs in a long time, even if it IS in those colours...we need more buildings like this one!

Too soon! I haven't saved up enough for the North facing penthouse yet!

It's called The Merit. Nothing on Charlesfort's website yet, but the signs are up at their sales centre at 787 Bank.

Damn that's nice!

Has this been approved yet.

I probably have the scale and position slightly wrong, but here's imagining how it would peek out from behind city hall:

That pic gives me goose bumps in a good way.

AuxTown · #52 Posted **Dec 21, 2010, 5:38 PM**

Wouldn't it be great to have a little cluster of towers in that area behind city hall? I have no problem with the scale of the towers further South along Elgin, but this area toward Laurier deserves development of a larger scale IMO.

Here's an online version of the ad that Charlesfort ran

That's an awesome building, awesome location, and I can't wait to see this one go forward!

As above.

I love the look of this building. Reminds be of New York City.
This building could easily belong adjacent to Central Park (although with more storeys).

It will certainly be interesting to follow.

I corresponded with Charlesfort and confirmed some general pricing:

For around $400k you'll be able to get a large one bedroom (868 sq ft), while a two bedroom plus den (1465 sq ft) will begin at $825k.

There won't be any two bedrooms available.

All information (Floor Plans, Prices etc....) now available on the charlesfort.ca site:

I'm guessing purchasers of these suites will mainly be Owner Occupiers.

That's a tremendous project. From $422-698/sq ft by my calculations. Very nice.
