A luxury condominium building at Yonge and Bloor Streets seems ready to go forward – most of it, anyway.
Through real estate agents and lawyers, buyers for 1 Bloor E. learned this week that the project would go up, but only 68 storeys.
That’s about a dozen less than were forecast in 2007, when crowds camped for days, hoping to purchase square footage inside what was going to be Canada’s tallest residential building.
Garth Juriansz, a real estate agent who bought a south-facing unit on the 39th floor, and sold numerous others, said he had clients who bought on the 70th and 71st floors.
He said the developer, Kazakhstan-based Bazis International Inc., has promised to return his clients’ deposits with an offer to buy at a discount on lower floors.
