New Condo Development Specialist
Coming soon to King West from Urbancorp: Connect Condos. It is still very early in the marketing process for this project and not very much information has been released, but Urbancorp is the builder behind Victory Condos and also Liberty Market Lofts. Their projects are often targeted to the lower-end of the market and they often have very competitive price points.
Register with me now for more information and your chance to purchase before the public at an upcoming VIP sales event.
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.
Festival Tower Condos at King and John, the world’s first Film Festival and Condo! Well, I believe the official marketing slogan is “One Part Condo. One Part Film Festival”. Sales began in this building a couple years back, and construction is well underway, however, in conjunction with the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) currently over-taking downtown Toronto, they are releasing the final group of suites in the building.
If you are interested in attending a special Agents only sales event for this final release of suites, coming up next week, or you would like to see pricing for the release please contact me.
Festival Tower is definitely going to be a high-end building with 381 suites spread out ove 46 storeys in the heart of the entertainment district and will also contain Bell Lightbox - the new home of TIFF. Prices are around the $800 per square foot range. The Developer is Daniels Corporation - one of the big boys in town and certainly capable of making a quality product that they are representing with these prices. Make no mistake, the resale values in this building will be driven by 2 factors: uniqueness and exclusivity.

Fly Condos - a new condo development by Empire Communities located at Spadina and Front St is trying something new. 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.

Coming soon from Plazacorp: King West Life. Contact me now for floor plans, pricing, and your chance to buy before the public at the upcoming VIP sales event.
You’ve probably heard about this development. It has been very widely advertised by Plazacorp (developer behind 900 Mt. Pleasant and The Regency Yorkville among countless others) on Facebook, Google, and in Print. Expectations are running high and so far the specs are looking good. Over 1100 units all told (to be introduced in 3 phases) makes King West Life one of the most ambitious projects downtown if not in the entire city.
Emphasis is on value for the money, terrace suites, and mega-amenities. Plazacorp’s advertising is suggesting that 2 bedroom/2 bath suites will start from $295K including a parking spot. Now if it sounds too good to be true it is because it probably is. Don’t believe everything you read from developer’s marketing materials. In fact, best rule of thumb is to believe nothing that you hear from a developer. Do your own research and always use a professional Realtor who specializes in new condo developments when considering purchasing a new condo from a developer. Protect your own interests, not the developers. Keep in mind that average price per square foot for new developments downtown is around the $500 mark right now so if you see a developer advertisting something dramatically below that, ask yourself why.
All that being said, Plazacorp is a ruputable developer in Toronto, definitely a big player, and Liberty Village is a great area to invest and as well as live. King West Life does look like it will be a winner! Invest smart, invest early. If you are considering purchasing a suite in this development, don’t wait for the public launch! Save yourself a few thousand dollars by contacting me ASAP!
Check out www.kingwestlife.com (developer’s promotional site) for some basics about the project and a couple sample floor plans.
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.
