Brownstones on Wallace

The Brownstones on Wallace townhouses on Wallace Ave., west of Perth Ave. are now being developed. Use this forum to discuss this development site.

Editor's Note: This development was completed several years ago, units are occupied, etc. Further discussion about internal condo policies, etc., should probably be done in a private place. For that, there's a Facebook group (link below). Comments are now closed on this forum.

(1) There is only ONE permit

(1) There is only ONE permit in place for foundations. All the others have been refused. They haven't
even re-summited. (2) How or why does one change sub-contractors in such a way and with such short notice? Are they not under contract already?

I, too want to believe, but!!!

there seems to be a few

there seems to be a few people there everyday but nothing really happening. Maybe they are storing equipment there?

More bad news

I was by the site today and they have started taking apart the forms that they would have used to pour the foundation. I call the builder but have not heard back from them.

Progress

There has been little progress on the site since the middle of December. There has been someone on site each day however there is no progress, in fact all of the sections of the tower crane were removed yesterday. Furthermore I don't recall seeing a tender notification in the Daily Commercial News, there was a pretender announcement some time ago. Is there anyone that can confirm scheduling for this project?

200 Block

Hello, anyone here buy a unit in the 200 block?

CHRISTMAS JOKE

Here's a good joke for you!

It's a developer who still thinks they have any chance in hell trying to sell more development opportunities to the residents of Toronto in the future!!! I know I'm going to do my best to make sure they never sell another unit to anyone again!

I'm sick of the lack of communication and having to deal with the sales office that either lies to you flat out or tells me they don't know! I'm starting to think I would have a better chance buying a tree house from a monkey or maybe that's we did?

Sure feels good not even knowing if I will be spending Christmas 2009 in my new home that I don’t even want anymore!

Merry Christmas neighbor…

It sure would be nice if

It sure would be nice if someone could supply some pictures that actually show work being conducted for the Brownstones on Wallace and not just the remediation project across the street! Does anyone have any real updates!?

There is work going on at the site

There is definitely some foundation digging and other related work going on at the site. I was by there last weekend and it looks like they are also starting to set up a building / tower crane. Sorry I didn't take any pictures.

Wallace work

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but the photos I posted before are from the Wallace Brownstones property, not the remediation site across the street. They're definitely doing some digging, and probably preparing for the foundation work.

Here are some more photos I took on December 6th. Photos #4 to 19 are from the Brownstones on Wallace site:

Wow... Thanks Vic!

Wow... Thanks Vic!

I wouldn't count on the

I wouldn't count on the building to go quickly at this point. They only have a partial permit for foundation approved up to date. You can check status of permits at the below link. Choose ward 18, Wallace development is on the last page.

Burka Architects complete designs for Brownstones on Wallace project... 4 days ago.

Excavation On Wallace a Full GO

The digging out on Wallace has started in full force this morning. As much as I feel that the City "Planning" Depart. let the community down on this project it will still be good to see more people on the street instead of a giant pit.

The townhouses on Wallace are a go

Site preparation for the 351 Wallace development is underway. They started moving some earth this week.

Tom Falus, Brownstones, Bloor/Perth and Wallace

There is not a lot to report with respect to these lands. Since acquisition in the late spring the developer has commenced an environmental clean-up of the lands. That should be completed in the early fall.
In addition the developer has been working with the City of Toronto to assist facilitate the construction of the “rail pathway”. Part of the lands are being used to facilitate construction and part are being used as a staging area for equipment.

The development of the land will proceed . The developer will of course be guided by the market conditions and by the zoning approvals in place. However at this time there are no plans or concepts to discuss.

Brownstones On Bloor

Hi D R,

This post was remarkably devoid of any useful information.

Is there a plan to begin the Brownstones on Bloor / Wallace by the end of the year?

Sean

Brownstones

Looks like they'll build both the Bloor and Wallace projects at the same time?!

Brownstones on Wallace

Called the sales office the week of Oct 20th and the rep said the developer indicated construction is to start in November. I ran by the site Nov 2nd and a small wooden shed has been built just inside the fence, in the west corner of the lot, next to the Station Lofts parking entrance. More progress than I've seen in the last year...

Wallace Development to start soon

I talked with Ross McKerron who represents the Fallus group about the 351 Wallace development (my art training refuses to let me call them Brownstones as they aren't).

"Construction is to start any day now. The approvals are in place and the contracts have been let within the last 10 days."

I have heard this before but I think this time they mean it as if they wait too much longer there may a change that the whole thing would be put off due to tightening credit.

Falus Group Number

Hi,
I to will be moving onto the Brownstones on Wallace and wonder when construction will start - I would love to call and put pressure on anyone who may be of influence. Who are the Falus Group and what is their number?

Browstones on Wallace

I purchased a Brownstone on Wallace ave.. 351 Wallace.. Does anyone know when this is starting? I was hoping they would try to save cost on trades, etc by building Wallace Brownstones with Brownstones on Bloor.
