The condominium building called Aura to be built on the corner of Yonge and Gerrard in Toronto will be the first of hopefully many condominium buildings to have indoor water sprinklers.  Although the installation of water sprinklers will not prevent a fire it does help to contain a fire once it has started and gives the occupants a better chance at escaping.  Something many residents living in tall towers high in the sky can appreciate.

The Waterloo region has a housing market that is off to a good start for the 2008 year.  Many experts were worried that last years high record breaking sales would be able to top but the market is not slowing down yet.  The Kitchener-Waterloo real estate board recorded 381 homes sold in January versus 379 sold in January 2007.  Although it is only a fraction more it is still a good sign for the real estate market in the area.

Post Credit residents in Mississauga are worried that the development of a twenty two story condominium tower along Lakeshore Road will set the precedence for more condo towers to be built.  Residents are worried the tall tower will take away from the village like atmosphere of the community.  City officials are also concerned that a wall of concrete will happen if other developers follow suit and build along the lakeshore.  Many believe any development on this property should be lowrise upscale commercial or residential.
