		<title>Housing market cooling down fast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Stefania Moretti,  QMI Agency
After leading its peers in the global real estate rebound of 2009, Canada’s housing market is now cooling faster than any other country&#8217;s, and a new batch of data shows no end in sight, experts say.
An ultra-low interest rate environment combined with favourable jobs and lending conditions saw price tags in Canada and Australia rise nearly 17% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2010, a new report by Scotia Economics shows.
Sweden, the U.K. and Switzerland all saw moves to the plus side. The U.S. and ...]]></description>

		<title>One Bloor will be a bold, futuristic building</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Tony Wong
If anything kept him awake at night, says David Gerofsky, it was an overwhelming sense of responsibility.
&#8220;This is a larger-than-life project, and there were a lot of expectations,&#8221; said Gerofsky, president of the Great Gulf Group of Companies.

Gerofsky is talking about One Bloor. The mixed-use project at the intersection with Yonge St. has been the site of controversy since the original developer, Bazis International, became a poster child for the global economic meltdown last year.
