+--- Thread: Barra on Queen | 7 fl | Complete (/showthread.php?tid=130)

Definitely new.

Exciting confirmation that the developer can build a sign ....
RE: Barra Castle on Queen | ? m | 7 fl | Proposed - danbrotherston - 04-20-2017
Could there be more buzzwords on that sign.
I don't know about anyone else but referring to it as "Exclusive" and "Boutique" almost turns me off.
I had the same reaction to the "Private Residences" that 155 Caroline turned into.
Perhaps I am just not their target audience---despite the fact that I was interested in the style and location of that development.

I'm gonna call every apartment building a "collection of suites" from now on.
RE: Barra Castle on Queen | ? m | 7 fl | Proposed - panamaniac - 04-20-2017
There's a new project in Toronto where every apartment is described as a "penthouse".

Some of this marketing almost seems as though it is aimed at flippers and investors rather than future residents, seems intent on misleading in a way that only non-locals could possibly be deceived by.

I agree. To me, "Exclusive" means small, and "Boutique" means expensive.
Even if I ignore the "expensive" connotations, they just strike me as meaning "I don't like the neighbourhood, here I can pretend I'm not part of it." But that's just how it feels to me. Keep in mind, I don't feel particularly community or neighbourhood oriented myself, but I still don't like housing that seems advertised that way.

Some activity on site today. And a building permit (17-109086 CB) has been issued for a temporary sales office.

Unfortunately that wasn't work on the Barra project, crews were using it as a staging area for some landscaping work at the 379 Queen building (the polo corp offices with the MPP's office) two doors down.

Housing for VIPs?
RE: Barra Castle on Queen | ? m | 7 fl | Proposed - jgsz - 06-06-2017
A "Launch Event" is planned for this Saturday, June 10.
RE: Barra Castle on Queen | ? m | 7 fl | Proposed - panamaniac - 06-06-2017
I'll be interested to hear how sales go. I had doubts about whether this project would ever see the light of day. I'm glad I'm wrong.
RE: Barra Castle on Queen | ? m | 7 fl | Proposed - amylu416 - 06-06-2017
VIP sales start Friday @ 5 @ the Tannery
