Fabrik Condos is launching this week in the heart of the Fashion District. Contact me now for floor plans and pricing for the VIP sales event.

Fabrik represents really the first new launch in what promises to be a very busy 2012 for the new condo market. The developer on this project is Menkes, which is considered a blue chip developer in Toronto. They have been building for decades and they are behind some very well known projects like Gibson Square and Savvy up at Yonge and Sheppard, 770 Bay (Lumiere) and The Four Seasons downtown. Of course what they are really going to be known for when 2012 is all said and done is 1 York / 90 Harbour which promises to be one of the largest projects ever attempted in Toronto. Rest assured when you buy from Menkes you are working with one of the best.

Fabrik is going to be a nice boutique project right on Richmond, just west of Spadina. Popular resale buildings nearby include 477 Richmond (live-work lofts, formerly an office building), 438 Richmond (The Morgan by Great Gulf), 388 Richmond (District Lofts by Context). Nearby pre-construction projects that could be considered direct competitors would be Brant Park (Brad Lamb), 32 Camden (Sorbara), and Lofts 399 (Cresford). In general, prices in the resale market for this pocket west of Spadina are lower than those east of Spadina, so I’m hoping that prices at Fabrik will reflect this reality i.e. they will be priced lower than the likes of King-Charlotte, Tableau, Peter Street, The Bond etc.

Please contact me today for your chance to buy at Fabrik before the public opening! Continue reading for a marketing video on the project put out by the developer.

This condo is launching in 2012. Contact me for floor plans and pricing and your chance to buy before the public launch!

March 10, 2011 update: Floor plans and pricing now available. Suite reservations being accepted starting now. Contact me for details.

Coming soon from The Sorbara Group, 32 Camden. Another boutique condo project with only 87 units and standing just 10 storeys tall, this beautiful looking low-rise will make a great addition to the immensely popular King and Spadina neighbourhood. Contact me for your opportunity to buy before the public launch. Floor plans and pricing due out this week!

You may not have heard of The Sorbara Group, but they are actually very experienced developers in Toronto with 60 Bathurst, 60 Niagara, 400 Wellington, in their portfolio amongst others. They are also known for two of Toronto’s most well known conversions – Broadview Lofts (68 Broadview) and Brewery Lofts (90 Sumach). The firm is also involved in many other areas of real estate investment and land development all over the GTA.

I have high hopes that the prices in this project will be much more attractive than those of the nearby King-Charlotte building. Being on a side street on the west side of Spadina should make this one more affordable.

More details to come later this week! Stay tuned and contact me if you would like to be kept in the know for this project. More photos after the jump.

From the developer:

Home shouldn’t look like an office tower. With just eighty-seven suites, 32 Camden is  downtown living on an intimate scale.   No waiting for elevators.  No waiting for gym equipment.  No more waiting for the perfect place to live.  This is more than a quiet building, it’s an environment.  It’s a shared experience that transforms suite numbers  into neighbours, stimulates spontaneous conversations and fosters our social nature.

Coming soon to the entertainment district from Cresford, Lofts 399.

This project is on the site of the project previously marketed as “Mode Lofts”. Cresford canceled this project last year after selling some of the units over a dispute with the city over density that apparently could not be resolved.

The project is being resurrected as Lofts 399 and floor plans are now up on Cresford’s official site. The name is derived from the address which will be 399 Adelaide in the heart of the Fashion/Entertainment districts.

Sales have not started to the broker community or anyone officially yet, but if you are interested in Lofts 399, please contact me because I have an exclusive opportunity to sell units to my clients at substantial discounts from what prices will be when they launch to the broker community later this winter.

Keep checking back here for updates on this project.
