A project like Cobalt was able to start a while back because they are merely rental units. They aren't condos. If this were a rental, the excavation would commence already too. With a condo, you have to market and start sales first.

If a similar second wave of the pandemic does occur soon, I'm not sure what the gameplan would shift too. Perhaps beginning construction would occur if sales/marketing couldn't happen at that time? I'm not saying this for sure, but the Project is moving forward, and everything is finalized and ready to go.

We've even built a new sales centre. I'm hoping the expected timeline for the sales launch goes as planned.

We all have a tendency to get off topic - I am no exception - Also sorry that this got personal for people - regardless noone deserves to have their name run through the muck.

But I agree in bringing this back to the topic of construction - can't wait to see the new renders Rudi!

New aesthetic - new Architect by any chance? Could you share that?

Hi I just bought a unit in the RC and and am/was ecstatic with my purchase only to discover this thread. Why is the lobby such an issue? It was in the condo docs I signed. I knew I was paying for it and just assumed it was part of the condo fees. Also, I just received an application for heritage status notification in the mail and I saw some owners were protesting. Why is this a problem? Isn't it a good thing that our building is heritage status? Doesn't this increase the value and prestige? Does anyone know what the issues are with heritage designation?

ChildishGavino · #**2965** Posted **Nov 18, 2020, 4:00 AM**

They likely think the designation will mean increased fees for "heritage preservation efforts" or something of the sort. I don't live in a historic building or a condo so it's just a guess really.

Why not start by asking your fellow condo owners, rather than posting here first?

ChildishGavino · #**2967** Posted **Nov 18, 2020, 4:58 AM**

Might not know his neighbours yet and was on the forum anyways. Besides, we were talking about it before.

Good point. Makes sense.

Any news on this project? I saw some new signage on the side of the east wall

HamiltonBoyInToronto · #**2970** Posted **Nov 28, 2020, 5:34 PM**

What is "The Moderne" on the east side of the Royal Connaught? Does this have something to do with the 36 storey condo going up next ?

Looks like it, they’ve launched a website of the same name.

Great news! I wonder if they will launch this or Metro condos first. Phase 3 is the tallest tower here right?

Awesome news. Hopefully we see the latest renders soon.

Finally! and excellent news. Interesting that Art Deco hints being introduced . Hope we can see a really eye-catching design and with the approved plans to be in excess of the new Table-Top 30 mandate, will be one that stands beyond the rest (well, that is, except for Landmark/C21).
