Giraffe Condos: International Design Comes to Toronto

Coming soon from TAS DesignBuild to Dundas St W and Bloor W, Giraffe Condos.

Register with me now for you chance to purchase before the public at a VIP sales event.

Giraffe will be a 29-storey tower with 275 units and a unique architectural style that has potential to put it on the international map. The building will be designed to meet LEED standards, and will have many ‘green’ features including an 8000 sq ft roof top garden where residents will be able to grow their own vegetables!

Giraffe is kind of a strange name for a condo but this one is supposed to be unique and independent much like the animal it is named after. Very funky design for sure and I have a hunch that Torontonians will embrace the project in a big way. I can only hope that this will also encourage other developers to take chances and get creative with the architecture in their condo towers. Glass wall towers can be great, but we also need variety.

Giraffe Condos VIP event coming soon! Contact me for more info.

ICE Condos by Lanterra Developments

**OCTOBER 2009 UPDATE: ICE TOWER 2 TO BE LAUNCHED THIS MONTH. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS.**

ICE condos VIP sales event is coming soon. Register with Andrew now for VIP access to this incredible project! Get in BEFORE the public.

FLOOR PLANS AND PRICING ARE AVAILABLE NOW.

Lanterra is the developer behind the Maple Leaf Square development, right across the street from where ICE will be and a favourite condo for fans of Toronto’s favourite sports team. Lanterra is actually building a total neighbourhood in this previously derelict tract of land that is now in the centre of all the downtown action. Steps from the ACC, Union Station and the TTC, the lakeshore, Roger’s Centre, Entertainment and financial districts.

ICE will be part of a larger community called YORK CENTRE and Lanterra is partnering with the well-known commercial/retail developer Cadillac Fairview. York Centre will consist of a 31 storey 800,000 sq. ft of office tower along with the two ICE residential towers and a 1 acre landscaped public space surrounded with retail outlets.

Units will range in size from 400 sq ft. bachelors to 1100 sq. ft 3 bedrooms. Prices will start from the low $200s.

Three reasons why this project is particulary interesting to investors and first time buyers:

1) Size of the project. Two towers, 55 and 65 storeys high will make ICE one of the largest condos in the downtown core.

2) No assignment fee. This means that if you purchase a unit at ICE and you decide to sell your unit prior to final registration of the building, you can do so for free. No assignment fee to pay to the builder. Normally assignments on pre-construction condos in Toronto are possible but they usually cost the seller around $2500-$5000 depending on the builder and depending on the project. This will be especially important to investors.

3) Building features. Stunningly unique architecture, Leed certification, the largest green roof ever built in Toronto, direct PATH and subway access.

This project is going to be HUGE and is already drawing plenty of attention both here in Toronto and around the world. Please contact me now for floor plans and pricing on this project or if you would like to purchase a suite before the public launch at VIP prices.
