Curious, what was your reaction to them adding more floors? You would have been one under PH originally right? I know if I'm paying the highest floor premium outside of PH specifically to be at close to the top and suddenly am told nope, a bunch of more floors above you now, I'd probably be a bit peeved. Any consolation they offer?

Just over 1100 interior, plus 325 of balcony. Yes on parking space and locker. 

They didn't release the McGillivray units until after they'd added height, building went from 26 to 31, so I didn't have that happen to me. Floors 29-31 are all the PH layouts and perks. There was only a $1k difference between 31st and 30th floor, but someone got to the 31st floor unit before me. I'd looked at the tower suites, but didn't like any of them enough to buy, and only took a second look when the McGillivray units were released.

When my move occurred, they gave a very firm occupancy date, and I gave notice at my month-to-month with a one-month overlap. I still had Momentum back down from their committment, put me up in a motel for 4-6 weeks (would need to check) without any real kitchen facilities, saying they would give a per-diem for food....and then backing off of that as well.

That's good to know. I might plan for two months of overlap, and not give my notice until I get the keys to the new unit. An extra month of rent isn't great, but I'd easily pay it to avoid 4-6 weeks in a motel, and having to move stuff into storage.
