Hi fluiditee, I'm going to be around the corner from you - 124-5. Our closing isn't until June 17th, I'm hoping it will end up being earlier!

[JRNATION88]

Hey....Lot 4 in phase 4, cant wait!! Closing March 25th, 2010. Anyone one of our neighbours out there in lot 3 or 5??? See ya!

[JRNATION88]

That's cool. So we'll be in a few months before you guys. I'll have cold ready in the garage for when your all settled in! Nice to meet you!

[fluiditee]

Is there anyone else on Abbott Crescent out there??

[devas]

Is there anyone else on Abbott Crescent out there??

I am, lot 124-5. Did you get a call about an early foundation excavation? We got called last week to fill out a form if we were interested in them getting the foundatin started early. It was scheduled to start in February, but I guess they are wanting to get started sooner.

[dglyde79]

Am I the only one on Horton Walk on this forum?

[Chem_N_Eng]

Is there anyone else on Abbott Crescent out there??

We are lot 122 in phase 4b, closing in the summer of 2010...it seems so far but before we know it we'll be madly packing!

[BU2MU]

Hey BrianNSara,

We're going to be moving into Phase 4, Lot#22-2 - the closing date is March 3rd 2010. Can't wait! :)

[Chuck&Marisa]

Hi Everyone,
We bought lot 78 on Chase Crescent. Our closing date is August 19, 2010. Our home is the Coronation B. Bubba we're pretty close to one another. BrianNSara our good friends are a couple doors down from you..they bought lot 19-3 and they're also closing February 2010. Their house is the Hespeler. We're looking forward to meeting everyone!

[Bubba]

Sounds great Chuck and Marisa...

Looking forward to meeting everyone

[Style]

They have started framing block 19 of the towns for the first floors, most exterior walls are up and alot of interior walls as well. They started from lot 19-6 and worked down. Looking good for owners in that block!

[freckles06]

I know, I drove by this morning and when we went on saturday all they had was the floor down on the first level but today I was plesantly surprised to see the first floor pretty much done!!!!! Starting to get impatient now lol

[J&R]

On the weekend they were putting brick on block 21!!! It is exciting :D

[Chris]

Pauline and I made the trip on the 17th and noticed that our floor joists were on a flat bed trailer, on site. We were back this past Saturday and again the floor joists were still on the flat bed trailer, however the walk-out and knee walls had been framed, not sheathed.

If anyone would be able to provide an update by Friday, that would be great.
The lot backs onto Forbes Creek (I think there is a creek back there) and is 1 lot over from the walkway that connects to the trail by the ponds.

We would like to stop by Friday to have a look, but we are 1.5 hours away and do not want to waste time if the main floor and walls are not up yet.

Thanks in advance.

Chris, if you are lot 47 the 43 foot next to the big 50 foot lot then I guess you can load up the car then. Your sub flooring is down and your first floor walls are well underway. In fact looks like they may be well on their way to having the second floor well underway by Friday.
It was dark but lot 47 the second from the path is well underway with the first floor!
Hope that helps your decision!

Thank-you for the kind update. We appreciate it.

[Mari&Rob]

hey chris,

our friend lives in the area and checked out you lot and saw your 1st floor was up.

Marianne.

[freckles06]

So we went by today and block 19 has the first and second floors framed out except for the second floor on 19-1. They are moving along quickly. Hopefully by the middle of the month the roof will be on and windows and doors in. It is nice to finally see some progression.
Oh and for block 22, they have the subfloors in for the first level.

[J&R]

Went by today and they were working on block 19. Block 21 has pretty much all of the brick up. Block 19 and 20... the basment windows are huge!!

[Mari&Rob]

went by earlier today, looks like like lot 41 has their street number in above the garage... 19 Chase, guess that makes us 29

Chris, your house is coming along nicely :)

--Rob

[Paul and Cynthia]

I was wondering our street number too, and friends of ours pointed out that it is given to us on our Brick Selection paperwork.:)

[Chris]

Thanks Rob. We were there yesterday as well. Glad to see the progress that's been made this past week. Hopefully they'll be starting your house soon too. We'll keep you posted if we see anything in our travels.

[1st Lexington]

My street address was printed on our last upgrade printout. I am lot 38 and we are #7 Chase Crescent. My parents bought Lot #48 and they are #51 Chase Crescent. I think at the corner, the large corner lot must count as 2 lots when they're doing their addresses.

[Chris]

It is a little odd that our Lot # is 47, yet our Lot Address is 47 Chase Crescent.

Is the Lot Address where you are finding your house number? I am assuming so.

[Style]

Most of the numbers jump by 4. For example we are 71 and ours neighbours are 67 and 75!
They have the first floors framed for the last block of towns on Chase!

[freckles06]

So we drove by today, Block 20 is pretty much ready to go, block 21 just needs the vinyl siding up, they were starting to put up the sheathing on the roofs for block 19 and for block 22 the first and second floors are framed.

[KingandQueenof116]

Major progress this week for those of us in phase 4 and 4b. Looks like a lot of foundations are going in on Horton walk and Michigan ave. And it looks like they'll be starting the townhouses off of Michigan ave next week. Very exciting even though it is still a long wait for us!!

[Chris]

As of yesterday evening..........

Rob and Marianne, your knee walls and walk-out walls are framed.

Erum and Kamran, your garage floor is poured (still no framing until scaffolding to each side of you is not needed for your neighbours - I assume)

Ray and Lillian (sp?) looks as if they are about to start your brick.

I do not know many others in the area yet, but look forward to meeting you...

Chris

[erum]

Thanks Chris for the update. We will drop by on Friday to check it out.

[CCHIR]

Have the foundations for the townhouses on Michigan avenue between both entrances to abbott started yet.

Thanks

I have been checking weekly and was glad to see our foundation finally poured!! Was cool to see! We don't close until june, but I wonder if they will actually start framing over the winter or not, or simply wait until spring as I know it doesn't take too long to actually build the house itself.

Usually around 5 months before close! They will want to break ground and get as many places up as they can before the bad weather. We closed in April this year and they poured in Nov and by Xmas they had the place framed! The inside work and upgrades is what takes the most time!
And rest assured if they can get your house done early, they would rather get their money asap and move on!

--Marianne & Rob

[KingandQueenof116]

Yes, the townhouses along Abbott have been dug out and foundations will probably be poured this week, if they haven't already. It will be interesting to see if they will frame early. Our closing isn't until July!

[freckles06]

Ok for those in block 19!!!!! The windows are in and the shingles are on the roof. We drove by today and they were working on the roof so we could really get a good look inside but we will try back tomorrow and see what we can check out.

[devas]

Drove by Abbott today. It looks like most of the foundations are done, and the rest will be done very soon I think. They are progressing quickly!

[freckles06]

Hey guys, for those in block 19, they have all the brick is done and the siding still needed to be done for 19-5 and 19-6. Has anyone contacted the construction office re: framewalk. We are going for ours on monday the 7th so hopefully you should be getting calls but if not just call them the # is in your design book.

[BrianNSara]

I went to our framewalk on Thursday at 8:00am, All went good with no issues we had Phil he was a nice guy, and he explained everything even though I was alittle lost at times it only took about 30mins ...

[Chem_N_Eng]

When you say most of the foundations -- are you referring to the towns or the detached homes as well?

Thanks!

[devas]

I think both the towns and detached are done, foundation-wise. The towns are definitely done, and the detached that are right along the walking path are done as well.

[devas]

This is a pic from a few days ago. The park is in the back, with the walking path along the right side, where the trees are. Sorry, not the greatest picture. Next time I'm there, I will try to get a better one of the block.

[BU2MU]

Hello my Block 22 Brethren,

There has been some great progress over the last 30 days. All of the windows are in and the interior is framed. :)

They have added the brick to most of the exterior, and I'm guessing Mattamy will put up the siding up in the next few days.

Also, the address blocks are up, so you can actually tell people your address vs saying your block number.

Two more months to go:cool:

[freckles06]

So framewalk went great! Didn't know that rough-in for central vac was included. We thought it was extra lol. Framing inspection done by the city inspector was done yesterday and Phillip said that they should start the insulation today or tomorrow and then drywalling to start next week. He said they should be all finished the drywalling by the christmas break!!! I thought I was excited before, even more so now!!!!! 2 1/2 more months!!

[BevC]

Drove by block 126 on Abbott Crescent on my way home and they have started framing.

[Chem_N_Eng]

Hello,

Did you notice if they had started framing the detached homes across the street on Abbott? So exciting!

Thank you,
Christine

[BevC]

Hi Christine,

I didn't notice but I will take a look today and let you know...I drive by that way on my way home from work. Which lot # are you again? I am in the townhomes 126-6.

Bev

[BevC]

Hi Christine,

I found your lot # on one of the posts...you are almost directly across the street from me. I will take a drive by today and let you know.

Bev

[BevC]

Looks like just block 126 is being framed at the moment...no detatched as yet. There was a lot more lumber there today though so I am sure they will get moving pretty quick.
I don't close until May 19, 2010 and my framing wasn't scheduled until the end of January so they are ahead of schedule...let's just hope it stays that way!!

[KingandQueenof116]

Just drove by today, looks like they have delivered wood to some of the single houses to start framing soon. Nothing up yet though, only on the townhouses.
Can't wait till they start!

[BevC]

Block 126 is all framed...just needs windows and shingles.

[John&Linda]

We purchased a Twin Cedars on Michigan Ave.
Our closing is not until August.
We just had our structual meeting on Monday. Very interesting.
The price is going up! Somewhere between Ouch! and Boing!!!!!

[BU2MU]

So......finally the day has come: our Move-In Date. We get the house keys anytime between 3-4pm today.

It's rather surreal to realize how fast time has gone by. We remember counting down the months, and then the days of this past month thinking that March 4th couldn't come soon enough. We remember visiting the house every day to see the 'progress' when they hadn't even formed a rough street yet, or dug out the ground. Needless to say, we were overeager, full of anticipation, and happy to be embarking on the journey of owning a house. We may not know the word to correctly sum up all the feelings we have about finally having this day arrive, but, there is one thing we do know. And that's us looking forward to making this House into a Home.

[fluiditee]

Congrats BU2MU!! Enjoy your new home! What a beautiful day you have too! My husband and my move-in date is May 20 and we're doing the same thing as you were, driving by everyday to check things out. The whole process is so exciting!

[BevC]

Congratulations!! I'm closing May 19th...and can't wait either.

[Mari&Rob]

Congratulations! U definitely have an awsome day for moving. :) My husband and I can hardly wait to for our closing date. We close on April 28th. Just under 8 weeks to go!!! Looking forward to meeting all our new neighbours. :)


Marianne.

[babymaeby]

Congrats! We were once like you....and now our 1 year is coming up in a couple weeks. I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. We are still loving our house as much as we did the day we got possession. Hope you have a stress-free and successful closing!

[K.C.]

Welcome to the neighborhood! You're going to fall in love with this area. I know you'll make some great new friends here like we have.

[devas]

Here are some pictures of Abbott that I took yesterday.

[May2010]

So exciting!! I was there Sunday. I'm in the 127 block. Closing May 27. I have insulation. And strangely enough bathtubs.
I love to see the whole neighbour going up. It's going to be fabulous come summer.

[fluiditee]

Yay!! My house is the one on the very left in Block 127 (all you can see is a bit of the garage) Yes, if you count the house numbers, we're #13. But aparently its a lucky number in Europe so we're gonna go with that theory! haha. I was there on sunday and was so excited for the drywalling! Things are really flying now!

[KingandQueenof116]

Has anyone been invited yet to Mattamy U for phase 4b?
We have a detached house closing in July. The house is up and we're gettng kinda antsy!!

[dglyde79]

Was wondering the same thing. We close in June and we have had our framewalk. The house is completely insulated and drywalled now. Tubs are in too. So things are moving along well. Would be nice to meed our neighbors at the Mattamy U!

[BevC]

The last time I emailed Jessica she indicated it may be the end of March but I haven't heard anymore about it.

[jrb]

Hi,

I was checking on the mls site. There is a "hespler end" townhouse for sale in phase 4........asking price $269,990 (148 SILVERTHORNE DR CAMBRIDGE, Ontario).....Sounds like a lot....but who knows.........

There is a southgate end in block next to me with no upgrades and they are asking $259,990....

It will be very interesting to see if these homes get sold.......

[fluiditee]

My husband and I took a walk with our two dogs through the neighbourhood a couple nights ago. True, we don't actually live there yet, but we figured we should get to know the area (and let our dogs get to know it) before actually moving in. It was such a peaceful atmosphere. I loved the fact that people actually say hi to each other, and that kids can run around without fear. I'm soooo excited for moving day!

... I haven't heard anything about Mattamy U yet. Anyone else?

[K.C.]

It was such a peaceful atmosphere. I loved the fact that people actually say hi to each other, and that kids can run around without fear. I'm soooo excited for moving day!

We moved here from Mississauga and it's like a whole other world over here. I became best friends with my neighbor who I met at Mattamy U. We're constantly doing things together.

The houses being so close to the street took some getting used to ... actually it really freaked me out at first ... but it does help you to get to know your neighbors better.

[fluiditee]

The houses being so close to the street took some getting used to ... actually it really freaked me out at first ... but it does help you to get to know your neighbors better.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the houses being so close to the street. It's a little daunting, and feels kind of like they're closing in on you. I'm sure I'll adjust to that though. I like that we have a park across from our house... doesn't feel as closed in.

[KingandQueenof116]

We did the dog walk thing too, just last week! Too funny, I thought we were the only ones. I found it really relaxing as well, the trails are great and they are just across the street which is amazing! We are hoping to meet everyone at Mattamy U, left a message but haven't heard back yet.
I hope it isn't the end of March, it would kinda be short notice!! ;)

[May2010]

It's a bit disappointing that we've heard nothing about Mattamy U yet. Was expecting this before the house was already well on it's way to completion. Feels like another slip in customer service. But do look forward to meeting some neighbours if and when they do have it.

[Style]

Mattamy U isnt really that big of a deal.Most of the things you already know and its IMHO a waste of time! The Orientation when you meet your neighbours is the best,as well as the Flowerfest that you will get to attend later!

[K.C.]

Shouldn't they have already had their orientation? That's when you get your design binder right? Maybe I'm getting Mattamy U and orientation mixed up.

Ours was a bit disorganized ... too many people crammed into a small room on a hot summer night. Met lots of nice people though.

Pay attention when they're calling out the lot numbers so you can figure out who your neighbor is. Don't be shy ... when the orientation is over go and introduce yourself to your neighbor.

[Joanne]

I thought orientation and Mattamy U were the same thing. I'm pretty sure for me, there were on the same night.

[K.C.]

It was on two different nights for us. I remember it because my husband couldn't go to one of them so my son and I went.

One was at a hotel and the other was at the design center.

[Joanne]

yeah come to think of it ... I do remember the different locations of each event as you mentioned...oh well... maybe I'm just losing my mind!:o

[May2010]

Good to know Mattamy U isn't terribly helpful. And as it was supposed to occur before construction (#8 in the 'What to Expect During Your Exciting Journey' steps between #7. Design appointment and #9. Home start), I'm sure it's even less helpful at this point (2 months before close).
Haven't heard anything about an orientation either.
Mill Pond is sounding like a very friendly place so I'm sure it won't take long after moving to meet a few neighbours!

[KingandQueenof116]

I called and spoke to Jessica today, she said they were just organizing it now and were sending out the invites soon. Sounds like they are running behind on getting things going. Would be ok for me but for those closing sooner it would have been nice to have it already I'm sure.
