There’s a lot of action going down in Yorkville these days! This week we’ll be sharing photos from 3 projects that are in the early stages of construction.
The first group of photos comes from the Couture Condos construction site where they’re several levels below ground. They’ve been digging for a few months now and we figure they should start building up early in the new year!
Contact the BloorCondos team for availability at Couture.
Pack up the pumpkins and bring out the pine…with Halloween over, Christmas is less than 2 months away! Signs of the festive holiday are quickly popping up all over Yorkville the street lights already wrapped with wreaths.
As we look back at sales in Yorkville for October 2010, we’re greeted with mixed numbers. On one hand, prices have continued to follow the increasing trend seen throughout the year. On the other, sales numbers are starting to slow. We saw 42 sales in October, only one more than the previous month. That number is almost exactly the same as the 43 recorded in October of 2009! With the addition of new condo inventory to Yorkville, one would think more sales would occur.
On average units sold at 97% of asking! Greatest deal was had at 88% of asking price and the highest list to sold price was recorded at 111%. The most popular layout was the one bed plus den with 12 sales followed close behind with the one bed and 2 bed layouts tied with 10 solds a piece!
A custom-designed Penthouse At The Prince Arthur with 11 rooms and 4 washrooms recorded the highest sale in Yorkville! The most popular building for sales occurred once again at Bloor Street Neighbourhood with 6 sales followed by it’s neighbour to the south, CASA Condos with 3 sales.
As we approach the last quarter of 2010, it will be interesting to see how sales in Yorkville wrap up.

Most of the posts on BloorCondos comes from the perspective of a Realtor…for this one we get to hear from an actual (non real estate selling) resident on her experience of how the “Greener Bloor” has changed her perspective on the area!
Enjoy, and don’t forget to check out the photos of Bloor streets new look! Story and photos by Marisa Falconi!
Living at Yonge and Bloor for 2 years has allowed me to become pretty familiar with the area. Up to date, I have lived all over the downtown core for 7 years, and although I moved away from Yonge and Bloor 2 years ago, I’ve watched it evolve throughout the construction and chaos into its current state. My main question, and a thought I’m sure is on many Torontonians minds: “Was it all worth it?”
In 2006, I had just purchased my first condo at Signatures on Bloor and I couldn’t be more excited about living in one of the hottest spots in the city. A year later, however, I was miserable. Concrete walls blocked my view at all angles and the second I stepped out my front lobby, hoards of people rushed by in a constant, pushy stream. The construction didn’t help ether. I knew the city was attempting to create a greener Bloor, but no amount of “greenifying” was going to justify the jack hammer awakenings every day at 4 am, not to mention what seemed like an endless traffic jam right outside my front door. I knew moving to Yonge and Bloor meant living in the jam-packed fast lane, but I had no idea it meant giving up my peace, tranquility and ability to turn left. Read the rest of this entry »

Earlier in the week, the BloorCondos team got a sneak peek at the penthouse views of Crystal Blu! Residents of the 35 storey luxury building have already started to move into suites. There are still a lot of loose ends to tie up at Blu but as of writing this post, the lobby very quickly coming together. Mailboxes were installed earlier in the week, the fireplace has been delivered and the security desk is now complete!
Residents have to moved into to the 28th floor (roughly) and plans are to have final closing by end of 2010 or early 2011! A few units (less than 5) are still available, contact BloorCondos if you’re interested at living at Crystal Blu!
