Beautiful condo. Amazing view coupled with a great layout.
So who's real estate mafia is "reshaping " Toronto? Dough's?! Terrible. Five high raise buildings are build in my neighborhood at the same time. Half of those finished are empty. Hopefully the real estate market will crash soon.
Eric: I'm always impressed with your ability to impart your knowledge through such detailed information -- both from current and historical perspectives! In addition to being a Realtor, have you considered you considered a role in learning and training at TREB? Just a thought. Great video!! 👍👍
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoy. I’ve been on a few committees at TRREB. I didn’t resonate with them so I’m trying the Government Relations Committee for 2025 if I get accepted on. They work with municipal and provincial levels of government and recently had a hand in the new mortgage rules.
*well done video* - thanks - having lived through some of this a few years back i learned of other variables [ like Section 37 bribe money, Real Estate Investment Trusts {REITs}, "Special Relationships", and good old M.Z.O.s ] and also how -- "$ometimes" -- the deal is a done-deal from a back-room with no real recourse.
Awesome video Eric! Super informative and engaging. Everyone should know this about Toronto developments!
Such an informative and interesting video on what goes behind the development process. I really enjoy how educational your videos are and how you explain things. The background/location change from clip to clip makes watching the entire 21 minutes easy and fun. Great work and am looking forward to future videos!
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying and happy that you noticed the scene changes. Thought I’d try it out to make it a bit more interesting and also relevant to the video.
Don’t tear it down
Dope condo I like it
I live on 1:57 oak street 😅 it’s kind of funny because the same thing that happened in the 40s and 50s is happening to region Park right now. In fact, there is a community consultation meeting about amendments for Regent Park phase 4 and 5 which would be directly across the street from my apartment.
15:50 😮 I went to CW Jeffery C.I in north york 😂 that’s crazy lol
😅
Eric, you are polished and professional . .. . thank you for this video.
Well done Eric
When the condo is so small you need a bookshelf in the air😂
Great informative video that covers history and current issues.
why are cheap floors installed for 1.6 m. small kitchen, stove, laundry space. I was looking to buy here but my condo is bigger and mortgage free so I will pass.
I love this neighbourhood! Great video 😊
This is a very informative video. Actually, I directed my first movie in Toronto and much of it was filmed on front street inside the CBC Studios and I showcased the waterfront area. You’ve got a great channel Eric, keep up the great work.
I love your Toronto neighbourhood series! Please do more (especially with all the cool facts!)
Got one for Riverside coming in the next few days!!
Is till available ?
Yes
Eric da realtor coming in with another STRONG listing! Booya!
I met Stanley Tucci on he patio of The Hazelton Hotel during TIFF
this is a really informative video and very grounded in social reality! Well done!!!
which law firm is handling the class action lawsuit of 'st. Jamestown residents displaced by the electrical fire in one of the highrises?
I believe there are 3 or 4 teaming up. The last 2 I heard of were Strosberg Sasso Sutts and Charney Lawyers.
greatest selling point is the built in bookcase & double bathrooms with walk-in showers. biggest detractor is the half glass panel coverage in the bathtub; there must be full coverage so water doesn’t get on the floor like that your shoes are off.
Thank you for taking your shoes off walking around with heeled shoes on hardwood doesn’t seem right
Haha yes! It is also a little loud in the microphone walking with dress shoes on.
Beautiful unit. The terrace is great with a very nice view!
Is this the building with the basketball court?
Eric always looks elegant
Very nice unit for sure! Also the typical Eric-level super nice presentation 👌 What are the current HOA fees for this unit? Also I didn't notice any fire suppression sprinklers inside, and I would hope that would be required for this type of new construction in 2024.
Thank you! Monthly fee is $2467. And yes there are sprinklers in the units, they might be hard to catch in the video but if you google recessed sprinklers you can see the design. Since 2010 it has been the law for fire sprinklers in condos.
@@EricdRealtor Thank you Eric. Very interesting on the flush-mount fire sprinklers. I took your advice and googled around and watched a couple short vids here, and those are pretty slick. So glad they are a requirement, as I expected. Also thank you for the monthly maintenance fee amount... it seems reasonable for a unit like this. It's all out of my price range but it's still very interesting and this information may help someone with the money and inclination to buy these. Will look forward to your future drops... be well! 🙂
I love this unit. You could do so many things with the massive terrace! And the two bathrooms in the primary bedroom is genius.
I totally agree!
Pretty cool. The Well got more hyped now then when it opened in the winter. I like how condo fees include a landscaper too
Definitely! It was a tough time to open…it was cold, retail was weak. Now the sun is shining, retailers are doing a bit better and the tourists are in town.

laundry room doesn’t have a sink? sigh
Great tour and unit!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great vid! Super informative! However, I would like to know - does the realtor come with the listing?
Yes they do! But only for 30 days. After that you must pay a monthly fee
The interior decor is breathtaking.
nice. the door to the terrace is very small however. should have been big sliders imo. nice video though.
Larger sliders would be nice, but I’ve yet to see that in condos below $5 million. I wonder if the cost difference is substantial compared to the universal sliding door.
Love the modern design and spacious layout of this condo! You've done an amazing job highlighting all the best features-truly shows why you're a top agent in the city!
Thank you Dara! I’m glad you appreciated the design, layout, and video. Your feedback means a lot!
Great tour and unit! I love the layout, would be so good to host both on the main floor and the terrace!
That would be cool!
Excellent analysis, Eric . . . you will do well.
Smart young man. Well done!
POV: you're my agent and I just bought the house you just showed me
How many 3 and 4 bedroom units are they going to build. The city is full of studio and one bedroom units that very few people want for more than a few years. Families need somewhere to live.
Amazing video! I learned so much and it really feels like we took a walk through the Neighbourhood together. Can’t wait for the next one!
Are you single? 👀
I’d love a dedicated video on parks in downtown / old Toronto. Maybe their evolution, future, and impact on the city etc. Amazing video as always - no one out here is doing what you do 👍
Great suggestion! Will definitely have that come in the near future while the weather is nice
I love your neighborhood videos! They're informative (I love the historical info you share), and fun to watch thanks to the beautiful shots you capture. Excited to see you explore more neighborhoods in the future.
Glad you like them! Hopefully get a few more done before the summer is over
What’s really concerning is that there is already very heavy traffic in this area. I’m not sure what the city has in mind but they should seriously consider extending the 509 streetcar eastwards because this area is currently not connected to downtown by public transportation (I believe that there is a bus going through but it’s not sufficient to meet the upcoming demand). Secondly, I agree that the planned high density risks ruining all green spaces in the area. The city should aim for bigger units and affordable units for families. Bigger units and townhouses would presumably decrease density and bring a different demographic to the area. My 2 cents.
Loved this video, Eric. You did an awesome job at explaining the history and detailing the city's plans for future development which before watching your video I was not seeing the vision. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
