Fly Condos launched about 7 months ago and sales were decent at first but then quickly dropped off as the market changed in October/November quite dramatically.
Like many developers, Empire is not just sitting around waiting for buyers to walk through the door. They are getting aggressive with pricing and incentives. Recently they launched an advertising campaign announcing suites from $159,900. This number has gotten them a lot of attention as investors and first time buyers alike are salivating at the prospect of buying a condo at Front and Spadina for under $200K.
They have redesigned the building and split up many larger suites into smaller suites. Originally the price per square foot was averaging around mid $500s. Now, prices will be averaging about $465 per square foot. This is represents a significant drop in prices and Empire is banking on investors and first time buyers by making 60% of remaining suites priced under $300K.
This just might be the perfect opportunity for buyers who have been sitting on the sidelines to enter the market.
Check back here later this week as by then I should have all the new prices and floor plans for an upcoming broker’s VIP sales event. Register with me if you want to be first to get the info.

Hi Andrew, I’m curious to see what your opinion is on Fly Condos?
I’m interested in purchasing a condo and would like to know if you think Fly has good value not just after the price drop but in the future?
Also, how do you believe the condo market in Toronto is doing? Is it a good time to buy now or wait a few months and see if the market stabilizes?
Thanks,
Matt

More news: Empire is offering the following incentive for all purchasers at the broker’s sales event:
Your choice of the following:
1) 1 year 2% buy-down of your mortgage (i.e. you get a 2.2%, 35 year mortgage for the first year after building registration) AND the builder pays your first year of maintenance fees
OR
2) A lump sum reduction off the list price equivalent to the value of the first option, or that same amount put towards upgrades.
This incentive works out to roughly $4000-$12000 per unit, depending obviously on the purchase price of the unit.
Also, all agreements will be eligible for an assignment clause. The assignment fee is $4000 (payable only if the unit is sold via assignment prior to registration)
