VIP Sales on Now For RISE Condos

8. November 2011

Update: VIP Sales for RISE condos ends November 18th. Contact me to purchase at VIP pricing and with VIP incentives today!

VIP Sales for RISE condos by Reserve Properties are on now. Please contact me directly for floor plans and pricing and your chance to reserve a suite before the public release.

RISE is the newest condo to the Bathurst and St Clair intersection, following the success of 500 (completed) and 530 St Clair West (under construction) which are located kiddie-corner to where RISE will be. The area has always been ripe for condo development but only just now is it starting to reach it’s potential. All the key ingredients are there: 1) Transportation Hub (recently completed St Clair Streetcar and St Clair West subway stop), 2) Great Retail (Loblaws and LCBO right across the street), 3) Great restaurants (St Clair West is becoming a hotbed for hip new restos).

The building looks spectactular with the centrepiece being a massive rooftop terrace with infinity pool overlooking the entire city to the south. The ridge that St Clair sits on creates a perfect location for high rise living and units on the south side of the building will have dramatic views.

The developer is Reserve Properties. Reserve has made a huge splash into the Toronto condo market this year and Rise will actually be their 4th project launched to date, with the others being Bellefair and Lake House in the Beaches, Motif in West Queen West. They are quickly developing a reputation for developing seriously stylish buildings in very nice locations.

Contact me now for your chance to buy at VIP pricing for RISE.

Get Backstage Access to Backstage

Backstage Condos by Cityzen, Fernbrook Homes and Castle Point is set to rise 36 storeys at Yonge and The Esplanade, right across the street from the L Tower. Backstage is in a kind of ‘soft launch’ right now. For access to suites NOW, before the public opening planned for 2011, contact me.

There are several standout features of this project that make it a winner. The most obvious one being its prime location right at Yonge and The Esplanade. (Do not underestimate the power of location when choosing your first investment condo!) However, the two ‘killer’ features of the building are the PATH connection, and the 70′ rooftop infinity pool with lake views (not a typo-seventy feet long).

Being directly connected to the PATH in this location gives you underground access to several subway stations and hundreds of shops. If you have not been in the PATH in the financial district lately I encourage you to check it out. The retail and restaurants that you find there are trending more and more towards the ‘high end’. Imagine going to work every day in the winter and never bringing a coat!

The 70′ infinity pool looks like it will be incredible. I don’t know if there is a longer infinity pool existing or planned for any condo building downtown (someone let me know if there is). This kind of feature was unheard of in Toronto condos a few years ago, but developers like Cityzen are really starting to push the limits of what is to be expected in a mid-range condo.

It’s worth noting that the smallest suites in this building are 531 sq ft! What a contrast from most of these downtown towers that are packing their buildings with sub 500 sq ft units resulting in buildings where the majority of suites will be owned by investors. It may sound counter intuitive, but as an investor, sometimes you WANT to buy into a building where there are as few other investors as possible. Why? Less competition for rental units, and a better maintained and cared for building.

Standard suite finishes are well above average, and prices are starting below $600 per square foot (resale units at Cityzen’s completed “London” building are selling in the $575 PSF range today). Deposit structure is very cash-friendly, with only 15% over 365 days +5% at occupancy. For floor plans and pricing for Backstage, please contact me.
