Was it the last one available? I was just approved by HDC for an band 5 studio and I would love one with a city view like the M layout, did you see other units? What was available?

I'm shaking I'm so thrilled.

EDIT: When you sign the lease, what payment did you need to bring? I would love to know if you do deposit at lease signing. I suppose if you got an M unit I probably won't, but I'm still keeping fingers crossed.

Are the move in dates still really strict?
What is the amenities price at Band 5?

What is the amenities price at Band 5?
Hey sent you a DM with some thoughts. Tbh the small studios are eh, the corner studio is the only studio that I was shown that I'd consider. I saw the P and R units. The R is bigger but feels sad. The R is very small but the two windows are awesome - but its still freaking small.

Band 5 amenities is $56/month.

Lease is one month + one month security. So two months cost. $1996*2

Move in dates - push for the latest possible.

Where does it say 1 bedroom on your letter? I keep getting letters (2) and emails (2) but I don't want to go for an interview (collect paperwork) for a studio. I don't see any information about the apartment options on the communications I've received.

I said these same while I was getting my paperwork prepared this weekend - why am I going through this for a studio? A lottery apartment would be my last apartment which I want to stay in for the next 35 years...I CANNOT stay in a studio for the next 35 years.

I feel the same way. I entered hoping for a one bedroom at 535 Carlton. I toured a studio and it was just a sad little studio. I don't know what I'll end up doing if the city approves me.

The woman showing said both were around 530 square feet. Most units I saw online were in fact much larger. It seems the affordable units are smaller as well, go figure.
Thanks.. yea I was shown 2 K units. The views were very nice, but idk how I feel about the amount of living space for $2k a month. I know it's a pretty damn good deal considering the location + luxury style building but I'm still iffy.
