2009 was a huge year for us at BloorCondos.com as it was the year we launched our lifestyle/real estate blog! We’ve taken a break from writing on the blog over the holidays to rethink the direction of it’s content. We’re excited to feature even more stories and information about the what’s what and who’s who in the Bloor Yorkville area. Check back in the coming weeks as we look at a few new condo pre construction projects launching in 2010. We’ll also be reporting the monthly sales in the real estate market for the area.
For the out of town reader, we’ll also be focusing more on providing updates for the condos currently under construction. Expect tons of pics, videos, and write ups about Crystal Blu, The Uptown, The Four Seasons, The Florian, and One Bedford to name a few!
We wish you all tons of health, lots of weatlth and a Happy New Year!
After grabbing a delicious Hero Burger at Hazelton Lanes, I ventured down to the Yonge and Bloor area to snap a few photos for the LifeStyle section of the Blog. I was elated to find this huge purple “NumberOneBloor” sign erected at the vacant lot! It’s the first piece of new marketing material to show up on the corner since it’s sale to Great Gulf Homes.
No renderings, floor plans or even architects have been released from Number One Bloor, but as soon as those details are unveiled, you can rely on BloorCondos.com to bring you the info. We can’t wait to see what Great Gulf has in store…until then; check out some photos of how the corner currently looks like.

Here’s an article by Megan O’Toole interviewing Garth Juriansz on the latest developments from the 1 Bloor site:
National Post – September 16, 2009 – Article by: Megan O’Toole – New plan for Yonge & Bloor: Shorter tower, no hotel
The new condo tower set to rise at the famed One Bloor site will be shorter than the previous developer planned, but observers predict the demand will be high as buyers flock to secure a piece of one of Toronto’s hottest addresses.
Developer Great Gulf Group, which acquired the property at the corner of Yonge and Bloor streets after Bazis International failed to get its much-hyped 80-storey condo tower off the ground, officially closed the deal today.
Details of the building’s final design and pricing are still being hammered out, company president Jerry Patava said, but he confirmed the high-rise tower will be a mix of luxury condos and high-end retail space.

Here’s an article by Kris Scheuer interviewing Garth Juriansz on the latest developments from the 1 Bloor site: September 14, 2009 – Article by: Kris Scheuer – Refunds for 1 Bloor St. buyers
Silvio Arone wanted to move from Woodbridge to downtown Toronto at 1 Bloor St. East.
He paid a deposit of about $100,000 for his piece of the pie in the sky that was to be an 80-storey tower at Yonge and Bloor Sts.
The proposed 500-unit project, by Bazis International, is now defunct and law firm Robins Appleby and Taub is in the process of refunding depositors money.
“I made my way to the law office to hand in my form to recover my deposit a few hours ago,” Arone said Sept. 3. “I’ll get my cheque a week or so later.”
He works as a project manager for a builder, so he never panicked over his money.
“I wasn’t concerned,” Arone said. “I trust the Condo Act.”

Here’s an article by Kate Hammer interviewing Garth Juriansz on the latest developments from the 1 Bloor site:
September 10, 2009 – Article by: Kate Hammer – 1 Bloor East buyers to regain deposits
The long-suffering condo buyers of 1 Bloor East are getting their money back.
Buyers were sent release forms last week to have their deposits returned. The money has been held in trust for months by lawyers for Bazis International, the developer which was recently forced to sell the 1 Bloor East property.
They are expected to see their money returned by Sept. 11.
“Everybody’s getting their money back,” said Garth Juriansz, of Re/Max Realtron Realty, who bought his own unit and sold more than 20 others.
