I purchased a pre construction condo at the Newtowns at Kingtowns development from Urbancorp in 2006. i purchased relatively late, and as the development was NOT a highrise, it was finished nearly on time. NOt without issue. Major changes to floor plan had occurred that i was given NO notice for. My electrical panel faced the den and ruined usable wall space. Very little was delivered as it was advertised, and noise insulation in these units was non existent. My neighbours (who unfortunately liked to copulate in their living room) might has well have been right in my home. I could hear the post coital cuddling convo plain as day.
Urbancorp has made a terrible reputation for themselves. I took a hard stance to get some LONG TIME outstanding issues resolved by handing out some information to perspective buyers at the grand opening of their subsequent project, and I managed to get somewhere. It was a hard fought victory. Do yourself a favor and purchase from someone FAR more reputable.
I am no longer an owner of one of their products. I feel fortunate to be OUT of the condo game in Toronto entirely. Anything built in the last 10 years will, in my opinion, have a very limited life span.
