California Condos Trying the “Fly” Formula

Aug 21 Edit: Special Broker’s Only VIP sales event happening today and tomorrow at California Condos. Up to $10,000 cash back and free assignment fee! Contact me for more info or if you would like to attend.

It’s no secret that the Fly Condos relaunch last month was a resounding success. Empire Communities lowered their prices and made some new floor plans to attract investors and first time buyers and the crowds came out in droves with their cheque books ready.

Now it’s California’s turn. Camfrost-Felcorp seems to be taking a page out of the Fly Condos playbook by lowering their prices, creating new floor plans, and starting a mass-marketing campaign billing California Condos as the lowest priced condo building in Toronto. Prices are starting at just $149,900.

On Friday at 10am they will be having an agents-only sale (for agents and their clients) and sales will be on a first come first served basis. Floor plans are not (as of time of posting this blog) available on the California Condos official website. Word is that the $149K units will be 455 square foot, north-facing, 1 bedrooms (not studios), and they will also have some other floor plans starting in the $150s. Moving right on up to a 975 square foot south-facing 2 bedroom starting from $369,900.

They have jumped on the web 2.0 / social media bandwagon and have started Twittering and they have a Facebook page as well. Good for them and I hope more developers get on this trend and increase the transparency in this consumer-facing industry.

The mainstream media is doing their part to drive the hype including the CBC and Global news who both recently featured stories on the new prices. The clips are available on their website.

Please contact me if you would like more information.

Check out this video that California just posted on their official site.

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.

Waterlink: Phase 2 of Pier 27 VIP Sales Event

Waterlink represents the next phase of the amazingly successful Pier 27 development at Yonge st and Queen’s Quay (where Yonge St meets the lake). Contact me now for your opportunity to purchase a suite at a VIP sales event before the public release.

Waterlink and Pier 27 are Cityzen projects. The great appeal of the project remains it’s exclusivity of complete and total lake front access. No other project will get you this close to the wate and this is possibly the last remaining piece of development land on the lake downtown.

Floor plans are available now. Prices are expected to be in the $700 per square foot range for interior units and in the $1000 per square foot range for the prime, south exposure, lake view units. Prices will begin at around $390 for a 1 bedroom.

My clients who purchase at the VIP sales event will be eligible for a 1% rebate at final closing. Contact me now for more information.

NXT 2: Last Chance for VIP Pricing

Last week was the NXT VIP sales event. No question the event was a huge success for Cresford (the developer). They sold probably close to 30% of the building in one night-imagine that! Contact me now if you would like more information on NXT2.

The building represents a phenomenal investment opportunity in what will be a gorgeous condominium complex. NXT and NXT2 will be two beautiful towers of glass and steel connected together a the base with a 2-storey podium filled with first-class amenities that will make living in NXT like living on a resort. Steps to High Park and the lake, minutes away from downtown and the airport make NXT a fantastic location with loads of potential.

1 bedroom units at Windemere by the Lake (the first phase of this development by Cresford) are currently selling in the $250K range (with parking). 1 bedrooms at NXT2 are starting at just $159K. Suffice to say that this is a potentially excellent investment opportunity.

Please contact me asap for floor plans and more detailed pricing as the VIP sales period is almost up and prices are set to rise very soon.
