TrueCondos.com – The Best Source for Toronto Condos

Cityplace Offers 20% Off Units*

*I had to put an asterisk right in the title of this post because of course there are plenty of stipulations on this promotion from Concord Adex. It may sound too good to be true…but it’s not entirely.

It’s starting to feel like 2007 all over again as would-be buyers have been lined up at Concord’s sales office near Front and Spadina for a few days now to take advantage of this sales event happening this Saturday at 12 noon. It is in celebration of Concord’s 20th anniversary in Canada.

The conditions:

• 20% off is applied as a cash rebate at final closing (so you pay $300K for the unit and Concord promises to rebate  you $60K at final closing)
• Only applies to the first 20 purchasers in line on Saturday March 28th at noon (First unit purchased will receive the 20% cash-back, any subsequent units purchased by the same person will get 15% cash-back)
• Only applies to units at Parade Tower 1 for Cityplace, and for buildings A,B and D at Park Place (Concord’s other mega-development at Leslie and Sheppard)
• Subsequent purchasers who buy units on March 28 will receive a 15% cash rebate – not a bad consolation prize

The first 20 spots are already locked up by people who have been camping out at the sales centre, but if you are an investor or first time buyer looking to get a good deal, the 15% off could be a great opportunity. As long as you are not too picky about what suite you purchase, because most of the prime suites are long gone from Parade 1.

If you would like more information on this promotion from Concord feel free to contact me.

In an effort to promote the project, the developer is holding a Celebrity Look Alike Contest with the winner getting $75,000 off of the purchase of a suite at Fly Condos. Very interesting tactic and obviously aimed at building some buzz and creating some hype for the project, especially amongst the under-30 crowd who they are very clearly marketing their project to.

The downtown Toronto Condo market is red hot and developers are constantly trying to attract investors and first time buyers alike to choose their project over the many others available in the city. There are so many new condo projects launching every month all over the city of Toronto that developers are now getting very creative in their marketing and promotion schemes in advance of launching their sites. Fly Condos Celebrity Look Alike Contest is just one more example of this creative, non-traditional real estate marketing.

So if you reckon you look a little like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, why not enter the contest and find out? Presumbaly the winner of the contest will be the person most closely resembling their chosen celebrity as voted by visitors to the Fly Condos Contest website.

If you are thinking about purchasing a unit at Fly Condos but you don’t want to wait until the sales office opens to the public, or you just aren’t interested in waiting to see if you really do look like Brad Pitt, please contact me for VIP sales before the public.
