I will say this though - I have been waiting for a terraced balcony design though so that would be pretty cool - although it would nullify privacy as you'd be able to see everyone all the way down from you, but it would allow each balcony unit to have sunlight. The top of the render still looks flimsy though.

I will wait to see more renders before I make further judgments on it.
I feel like you could throw up a "tent" thing or lattice or canopy pretty easily to provide some sort of privacy. A real balcony would be really cool as it seems most do not use condo balconies despite their prevalence. I know if I could throw a small hottub or BBQ with a few outdoor couches I would be sure to use a condo/apartment balcony a lot more.

Yeah exactly - most balconies are useless because they are too narrow - make it big enough for couches or a hot tub and those areas get used a lot more.

never trust a development if they don't pay for a real 3D architectural model, and put that on display. Some google sketch renders won't fly.

Harry won't pay for anything. He used to send out email's saying buy now, since he didn't want to pay for a preview space since they cost money.

He goes into projects with no financing.

Beasley Park Lofts Presentation & Renderings by AHBureau, on Twitter

Ok I'll admit that little triangular jutout piece on the back is kinda interesting - I dunno.. it's kinda growing on me..

I seriously need to see better renderings though.

This is a guy who can't afford a hammer and nails from day to day. When the construction boom really hits Hamilton he'll be standing in line for everything.

Every laundry related land is contaminated. Big money to remediate.

Harry has earned himself a very bad reputation in this city where people see his name and just associate it with either problem, delayed, or failed projects. It's not a good feeling.

I would change the verb tense on that statement.

It's taken Hamiltonians some time to figure this out, but it appears to be a completed action.

If you see Harry in the street, run the other way.

Based on stories from the Stinson School, buyers can also look forward to haggling with Harry for months or years after you move in over deficiencies in your unit and in the building common areas.

Yeah I’m afraid of that given his reputation and that there is no Tarion

I think if you bought into the conversion after January 1 2018 you'll get the Tarion warranty, before that it had to be a new build. But technically if you're in the new building you may get that since it's not a conversion... not 100% sure on those details though.

That would make sense. Not sure about post January Tarion rules.
