Hi Jaimie:
Thank you so much for continuing to post this article. It is much appreciated.
May I ask you for small favour :
My address has changed to 55 Hollydene Road.
Also: I have now been a winner on Homestars for 8 consecutive years and have a rating of 9.8.
Maybe you will not mind updating this ?
Again- many thanks.
Nanette
LUX has some AMAZING work! I love some of the condos they have done, totally badass! Have you updated this list for Toronto since posting it?
Hi Robert,
I haven’t updated this particular post recently, not a bad idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
The most recent post on design was the one about minimalist interior design in condos, and some more content on this topic is on my blog.
Best regards,
Jamie
