I had lunch this week with a few developers at an exclusive VIP broker’s reception in Liberty Village. These ‘schmooze-fests’ are generally just for mutual ego stroking, but they are also a great way to find out what is happening in the downtown condo scene.

Glas Condominiums (25 Oxley Street) is now registered. Congrats to all unit owners and investors who bought in the building several years ago and now you officially own your units.

It’s been a very busy year for new condo launches. Here are my top-5 projects that I’ll be watching for investment over the last few months of 2010: Bisha. This one could be special, but it certainly won’t be cheap. I’m hearing pricing will start in the high $600s and go up from there. I’ve […]
X2 was one of fastest selling condos downtown in the past 12 months. Back when it launched in November ’09 there was much controversy over the fact that a large group of agents got shut out of getting any units because they were supposedly in the wrong line up (let’s just refer to it from […]
November 24th update: Prices at Post House Condos to go up December 1. Contact me to take advantage of these low prices and special incentives before it’s too late. While developers across the board are now starting to roll out incentives for buyers as they compete for sales, some offers are still only available to […]
