		<description><![CDATA[One of the following statements is true:
a) Developers have no idea when a condominium will be completed.
b) They do, they just don&#8217;t care to tell the truth because there are no repercussions.
When was the last time a developer actually quoted a reasonable time period to plan, sell, and construct an entire building?
Contrary to popular belief, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was beginning to think that maybe, just maybe - I was wrong about CityPlace.
After a colleague of mine received five offers on her awful listing at Mariner Terrace, I reconsidered my stance on the evil concrete jungle.
But alas, the latest news that a 42-storey &#8220;community housing&#8221; project will be built in the heart of CityPlace [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a great article in Saturday&#8217;s Toronto Star that explains a new trend among buyers who find themselves in multiple offer situations.
Try and differentiate yourself from the pack.  Maybe the sellers will respond favorably?

		<description><![CDATA[In August of 2008, one year since I had taken occupancy of my unit at Rezen and a mere four months since final closing, a unit sold across the hall for $265,000.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Second week of February,&#8221; said the sales person from Rezen when I asked for the ninety-fourth day in a row when the building would be registered. 
&#8220;If we&#8217;re not registered by then&#8230;.cut my throat&#8230;..my word to God&#8217;s ears!&#8221;
That was the single strangest prayer I had ever heard&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Pat-Pat-Pat went my hand on my own back as I prepared to take occupancy of my new condo at Rezen Condominiums in August of 2008.
But before I could move forward, there was a ton of work to be done and very little time to do it!
