Sunday night reads! So far, so (really) good.
Out of the Game - Rufus Wainwright
“They [Wainwright and partner Jörn Weisbrodt] have a daughter, Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen, born last February, whom they’re co-parenting with her mother, Leonard Cohen’s daughter Lorca.”
-From the upcoming (12.4.12) issue of The Grid, written by Sarah Liss.
Um, that’s the cutestfuckingthing that I’ve read all day. That kid is going to be an artistic anomaly.
Toronto boasts the most oversupplied condo market in the country, according to Sheryl King, an economist with Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Back in October, she calculated just how many units are set to hit the market. If builders in Toronto stopped developing entirely and merely completed projects that are already scheduled and underway, there would be enough units to supply the market for five years. “We have data going back to the early 1980s, and we’ve never seen that big of a building wave before,” King says. The rate at which the condos are being sold is running at about twice the pace of natural household formation, which indicates investors are scooping up a sizable portion of them. King estimates investors hold anywhere between 40% and 60% of pre-construction units. “Investors are not recognizing that there is this glut of inventory coming on the market,” she says.
