Nick & Trish Dorak have their own personal website where they've been nice to post information on the Phase 11 Mooreside Corner townhouse they purchased at Hawthorne Village. Under "See the progress" there's pictures/descriptions of the progress up to date of their new home being constructed (it's a big page though so will take awhile to load depending on your internet speed).

On the topic of our own Phase 12 purchase, our lawyer has reviewed the purchase agreement and so far has advised us to request changes to cap the closing costs, and also delete the forced early closing clause. We also wanted to change where it says we're forced to accept a mirror image/reverse layout if it's required (they can't tell us if it will be) but so far Mattamy won't budge on that :-( So we're just hoping our house won't be required to be a mirror image, we won't really know until closer to the design centre structural upgrade appointment which by then will be too late to backout of the purchase if we were so inclined. So we're just crossing our fingers on that one. Although other people who live in mirror image houses say you get used to it fairly quickly and the only reason it initially seems wierd to us is because we're so used to looking at the un-mirrored floor plans.

Once again, join the Hawthorne Village forums! There's more information there being posted about Hawthorne Village.
