Selling Toronto - 12.2 Million Dollar Listing in Yorkville - The Four Seasons

[@edgehead13]

As a conconstruction worker in Toronto that works on these Buildings from ground, up. The building cost is about 10% of the sold price. Everything is cheaply built and covered up with "expensive" looking cosmetics. I've worked on some of Toronto's most "luxurious" buildings...stop wasting your money and build a custom built house instead.

[@jobrownsmith116]

Thst's crazy!! It's a commerial building. I can't see them cheaping out on the foundation, sound proofing. There's codes they have to adhere to. I can see them using cheaper drywall. But for some marble counter top I didn't see much in the way of expensive finishes, ha ha. I saw pot lights. Not one expensive lighting fixture.

[@jobrownsmith116]

btw, I didn't mean you were crazy. The fact that the developers are that greedy to do that, which I'm sure that's a real possibility, are the crazy ones.

[@edgehead13]

@@jobrownsmith116 a lot of inspectors don't go though everything to check, especially a 55 story building. Half of the time, they just write it off as a pass without even showing up to the job sites. As as electrician, the amount of fire harzard I've seen - exposed wires behind walls. Just so electrical problems can be fix without damaging drywall. Didn't have time to fix it properly as move in day was closd by.

@@jobrownsmith116 Yeah, unless you build a custom build house, nothing new built is reliable, or well built. Nothing - talk to any skill trades worker in Toronto.

[@Garland67]

The broker said that the owner had never lived there. Pretty standard for Toronto, where most of the high-end condo units are sold as investments. I can see 10 Yorkville from my co-op building and its more than half empty all year round....there are only lights on a few floors. When the city has a housing crisis, it feels almost criminal to have all those empty units.

[@the_equilibrium]

These people work their @$$ off to get that kind of money. We're not responsible for homeless people, they chose their lives they can also can goto work ( I'm sure that they can find work in a nearby factory or whatever to not to be homeless). We pay higher taxes then average people and government provides enough aid to the poor people and they still stay poor.

[@Garland67]

@@the_equilibrium Sorry......I feel you're terribly misinformed. There are many reasons why people can become homeless and laziness is rarely one of them. Landlords can kick people out of their homes in order to raise rents and/or renovate and many times those people become homeless through no fault of their own. Please do some reading about inequality issues.

It's common in Toronto. The housing market has increased more than the Dow Jones & tax in recent years, so they buy houses instead of stocks.

[@Roof_Pizza]

@@nwananka Doesn't look like a Chinese style to me but what do I know?

[@wctoronto]

Yes, you are right. A close friend of mine used to be VP at one of the departments at the Four Seasons Hotel corporate office and said that pretty much all/most owners of these Four Season luxury condos are customers of the hotel. Thus, why they comprise mostly of non-Canadians. Instead of paying for nightly stays at the hotel, when they’re in town for business or leisure, they’d rather stay at a property they can own as an investment, have the comforts of home and the amenities hotel patrons have (aka the internal phone to connect with concierge). Primarily for investment purposes, both for Four Seasons Hotel and the owners of these units. They’re viewed as a vacation home for most. Many of them own multiple properties and homes around the world. That’s common for the rich.

[@billybeats1489]

Too expensive plus don't forget paying 12.2 million dollars and then after that you still have to pay maintenance fee lol I guess Toronto wants to have more homeless people

[@bigyeet3629]

Hopefully the Toronto government can start taxing vacant homes soon...

[@locks4]

[@gaffblackstone]

Why...just why, do anyone wanna buy this two bedroom apartment instead of a big house with Butler or maids. The price are pretty much the same.

[@nacnahm73]

Right... with the maintenance fee and I'm sure the hotel has extra fees for it being the Four Seasons.. that's a salary itself for few housekeepers or chefs

[@felipes9395]

In china if you buy a property you can only own it for 70 years or Latin America (like in venezuela) the government manages to destroy the value of its coin, now imagine you being a billionaire. Where would you put your money? Canada offers safety and praticity, but do not think this is bad for the country, with the construction sector booming there are more jobs and more money circulating in the city and also the many tax payers and businesses men who invest in the country. If the inflation and ppl being pushed away from the city sounds bad, think that many Canadians usually leave downtown in their 30s in order to start a family.

[@firstlast7719]

Great unit for those with multiple properties, massive and never lived in...insane

[@ladymephisto1647]

I’ve been watching dozens of penthouse tour videos in Toronto and as someone who loves to cook I’m dismayed by the total lack of pot-filler faucets behind these wonderful stovetops. Kitchens with all the bells & whistles a chef could dream up but no pot fillers! What gives? Do the developers or architects or whomever not see the need for such a convenience or is it something else I haven’t thought of? I’d really love to know why this isn’t a thing in Toronto’s priciest condos.

[@albertn.1742]

I agree that it'd be nice to have pot fillers considering the price. Probably because a good chunk of the buyers don't live in their units as it's an investment or they're hardly ever staying there and actually cooking. They probably have private chefs or butler service to take care of that for them

They can still get into your place with a front door. Building management can access your unit in the vent of an emergency, like a welfare check. There’s no foolproof house. Even panic rooms can be breached. There’s always risk.

Marble is the worst stone for a kitchen or washroom. It is porous and scratches easily. Anyone notice the hostess scratch the counter with stovetop cover? They even joked about the marble cracking! All residences above the terrace = cigarette and joints all over the terrace. CSA: Yorkville is not not a AAA neighborhood-A- at best. As a Vinitourist, I confidently say the food and drinks at all the restaurants featured here is below par and over priced. For Quality food and a greater selection of quality wines, beers, and spirits one must travel a solid 15 minutes by car out of the neighborhood.
