The 2009 Pug Awards have just wrapped up another successful year!  The event calls on Torontonians to vote online and select the people’s choice awards for architecture. 

What I especially love about these awards are; it not only awards the best but also the mediocre AND the worst of the city’s newest architecture.  This year’s big winner was One St. Thomas for best new building in the residential category. The 29 story luxury condominium (pictured above) was designed by New York architect Robert Stern and is home to 72 intimate suites.  The art deco design can be easily spotted along the Toronto skyline, yet it’s almost hidden on the quite St. Thomas St just south of Bloor before Bay.

Just the other day, a past client gave me a call and told me they were ready to take the plunge…LITERALLY!  They love the home they’re in, but wanted a 2nd getaway by the lake. They’re timing couldn’t have been better!

Also this week,  Re/Max Canada released their Recreational Properties Report.  What they’ve found is:

Monday’s are hard for everyone, myself included.  My thinking is, the last thing blog readers want to see are stats and facts,  so to start the week off right I’ll be posting “real estate ad parodies” every Monday…or for as long as a can come up with them.

The streets will be buzzing this Sunday (May 31st, 2009) in Kensington Market. One of the oldest and most diverse neighbourhoods in the city will be bringing back Pedestrian Sundays for another year.  Since 2004 the market has closed it’s streets to cars and opened it up to the people.  To kick off the tradition, they’ll be a giant pinata for the kids, as well as a  parade of Kensington’s characters and history.  The streets are yours from 1pm-7pm!  For upcoming info, join their Facebook Group.

The market is full of eclectic shops offering everything from vintage clothing to local produce.  If you’re interested in calling the market home…call me, I’d love to help!
