As a conconstruction worker in Toronto that works on these Buildings from ground, up. The building cost is about 10% of the sold price. Everything is cheaply built and covered up with "expensive" looking cosmetics. I've worked on some of Toronto's most "luxurious" buildings...stop wasting your money and build a custom built house instead.

The broker said that the owner had never lived there. Pretty standard for Toronto, where most of the high-end condo units are sold as investments. I can see 10 Yorkville from my co-op building and its more than half empty all year round....there are only lights on a few floors. When the city has a housing crisis, it feels almost criminal to have all those empty units.

In china if you buy a property you can only own it for 70 years or Latin America (like in venezuela) the government manages to destroy the value of its coin, now imagine you being a billionaire. Where would you put your money? Canada offers safety and praticity, but do not think this is bad for the country, with the construction sector booming there are more jobs and more money circulating in the city and also the many tax payers and businesses men who invest in the country. If the inflation and ppl being pushed away from the city sounds bad, think that many Canadians usually leave downtown in their 30s in order to start a family.

Yes, you are right. A close friend of mine used to be VP at one of the departments at the Four Seasons Hotel corporate office and said that pretty much all/most owners of these Four Season luxury condos are customers of the hotel. Thus, why they comprise mostly of non-Canadians. Instead of paying for nightly stays at the hotel, when they’re in town for business or leisure, they’d rather stay at a property they can own as an investment, have the comforts of home and the amenities hotel patrons have (aka the internal phone to connect with concierge). Primarily for investment purposes, both for Four Seasons Hotel and the owners of these units. They’re viewed as a vacation home for most. Many of them own multiple properties and homes around the world. That’s common for the rich.

This place visually is just not for me and for that kind of money i'd rather buy a separate house for myself and another for my family, hot damn.

It feels like you are only paying for location because the interior design and decor felt very bland. The layout also kind of bugged me. I hate having a kitchen detached from the dining and leisure area

In terms of the interior design, Shangri-la residence looks way better than four seasons, location wise, ya the yorkvill location is indeed superior. But still, if I had money for condo purchase, I’d choose Shangri-la over four seasons 🙄

WOW ! Perfect !

Too expensive plus don't forget paying 12.2 million dollars and then after that you still have to pay maintenance fee lol I guess Toronto wants to have more homeless people

Designs are lovely

12M gets you half a floor, halfway up a random building, with a characterless deck. But hey, you can have a BBQ. I must say, the quality of the doors and their hardware look good. That’s got to account for something

I’ve been watching dozens of penthouse tour videos in Toronto and as someone who loves to cook I’m dismayed by the total lack of pot-filler faucets behind these wonderful stovetops. Kitchens with all the bells & whistles a chef could dream up but no pot fillers! What gives? Do the developers or architects or whomever not see the need for such a convenience or is it something else I haven’t thought of? I’d really love to know why this isn’t a thing in Toronto’s priciest condos.

I agree that it'd be nice to have pot fillers considering the price. Probably because a good chunk of the buyers don't live in their units as it's an investment or they're hardly ever staying there and actually cooking. They probably have private chefs or butler service to take care of that for them

Marble is the worst stone for a kitchen or washroom. It is porous and scratches easily. Anyone notice the hostess scratch the counter with stovetop cover? They even joked about the marble cracking! All residences above the terrace = cigarette and joints all over the terrace. CSA: Yorkville is not not a AAA neighborhood-A- at best. As a Vinitourist, I confidently say the food and drinks at all the restaurants featured here is below par and over priced. For Quality food and a greater selection of quality wines, beers, and spirits one must travel a solid 15 minutes by car out of the neighborhood.

For $12 million it would be great if it was a direct waterfront.

I'm very familiar with Yorkville but I'd never buy a 12 million dollar condo. I'd maybe do 3 million

For that money, it should be marble everywhere rather than cheap flooring

What is the point of buying a condo for 12 million and having such a crappy view in comparison with what you would see from the other side of the building? Spend a little more money and get a view of the lake, cn tower, and the downtown skyline

of course its over priced isnt everything in Toronto? I worked just beside it at Movenpick in the early 90's ... fun place and I lived across the street in a apartment building ... I would literally be at work in 5 minutes

A big oversight is not utilising the outdoor living space. Such a huge patio and EMPTY, so much potential. Common of Toronto to not fully live in their homes outside living space should they even have one. This four seasons could have such gorgeous patio furniture, even a BBQ, maybe a jacuzzi and firepit. Not Really worth 12 million, maybe half that.

Who would pay for a view of other buildings.

Nuts, That is too small for a pantry, Maintenance fee hundred thousand a month....
