Especially, all that glass that's being used to build Floor to Ceiling glass views but it has Low insulating value, it is totally transparent to Sun and provides No insulating value to Glass.

Condominium Buildings are required to produce Performance Audits on a 5 year cycle that help establish long term commitments for replacement and repair [Decide on the Remaining Economic Life of Components] These costs of replacement are factored into your reserve funds already.
New Buildings will have less glass as an exterior feature and FEEL like the older condos where you placed your elbows on the window ledge and looked out.

When you buy a condo they give you a document bundle to review; You have 10 days to decide if you accept or not. Your period of Rescission.
Prospective purchasers of units in new condominium projects (or their lawyers) should be carefully scrutinizing the disclosure documents and the agreement of purchase and sale to see if the developer has in fact limited its liability. If so, purchasers should take this into account when making their decision to buy into the project. As the Ontario government is now in the process of making major revisions to the Condominium Act, it will be interesting to see if the government will address this issue in the new legislation. - See more at: http://www.condoreporter.com/?p=3784&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CondoReporter+%28Condo+Reporter%29#sthash.cAELcyN2.dpuf
So when I attended the SALES OFFICE you gave me a declaration and proposed Rules Regulations and BYLAWS; but before a condo corporation is formed by the residents You force us to CLOSE and then realise you have changed the By - Laws limiting your own liability.
That's reputable - NOT
