I recently received a letter in the mail from a builder of one of the condominiums I purchased several years ago. Before I opened it I looked at the logo on the outside and in the top corner, it said Crystal Blu. I wondered to myself… is this good news or bad news? (Bazis International is the builder of Crystal Blu and was the same builder scheduled to erect 1Bloor last year)
I opened the letter, and yes of course, great news was inside! It stated they were above the 30th floor and scheduled for occupancy Aug 30, 2010. Several of my clients also purchased units at the Balmuto and Bloor address and I knew they would be receiving the same letter. I decided to drive down and take a look for myself.
On last check it appeared that construction on Crystal Blu has made it to the 34th floor with windows to the 15th floor. My clients who were immediately sold on the project (either because of the 10ft ceilings, location or upgrades that were offered as standard) will be happy to know they have a confirmed move in date and can start making firm plans!
It has been a long 40 months but with the growth and development that has taken place in the area since we purchased, I look forward to moving in and enjoying the Bloor – Yorkville lifestyle. Check back for further updates as the building moves closer to completion.

At first glance of this post, you may think we were talking about a new condo in the fashion capital of the world…Milan. Instead we’re spotlighting something a bit closer to home: The Milan Condos by Conservatory Group!
Located on the North East corner of Yonge and Church St in downtown Toronto, the Milan Condo will link Yorkville to Rosedale and offer residents breathtaking views of the Rosedale Valley. Residents are short walking distance away from the city’s most distinctive restaurants, gallery’s and designer boutiques. Plans for the Milan lobby call for elegant wood and marble surroundings and a fireplace to welcome you and your guests with warmth. Concierge will be present during the day with around the clock security at night.
Most amenities can be found on the second floor and include: guest suites, exercise room, theatre, billiard room, sauna, indoor swimming pool and whirlpool. The 9th floor will host the condo’s party room, dining room and kitchen!
To add to the Milan flair, units are named after different regions in Italy; Lascala, Amalfi and Napoli to name a few. Units will feature 9′ ceilings and will be accompanied by engineered hardwood flooring in living room and dining room spaces. Kitchens will have porcelain tile floors, granite countertops and European inspired cabinets.
A healthy variety of layouts are still available ranging from 1 bedroom ‘Bergamo’ units to 3 bedroom ‘Pavorotti’ suites. Contact us for floor plans and prices…ciao!

Holt Renfrew heated up Bloor St with a concert by Canadian singer and song writer Feist. The evening was hosted by Entertainment Tonight Canada’s Rick Campanelli and Kim D’Eon. Bloor was shut down from Bay ton Yonge and opened up to the public. They capped off the night with an unveiling of their Holiday Window display… Shopping Season has begun!
Our favourite display of the night was the Karl Lagerfeld inspired Snow Man window (pictured below). BloorCondos was there to take in all the festive fun, if you’re ever in the area, you should too! Holt Renfrew is located at 50 Bloor St West in Toronto.
