- this developer was very accommodating to me, add ons were done accordingly (of course you gotta pay).
- The price I paid INCLUDES: mezzanine (as far as I know the builder is only selling these with mezzanine, FYI easier for developer to get city of Calgary to sign off on cookie cutter mezzanine. If you diy it the engineering stamp, etc would cost more anyways)... it includes (per website too. But tbv yourself talking to developer, it includes 3 piece bath. Which is toilet, sink, and a stand up shower plastic stall in a 6x12’ accessibility bathroom. For the type A smaller units)... includes oversized forced air ceiling heater, and includes air exchanger, includes LiftMaster commerical grade jackshaft motor as other commercial bays are just hand pull chains), sprinklered. Drywall and taped mud and sanded where as other commercials would be rough rough mud if that. (Owner pay for primer and paint)
- it’s classified as commercial zoned of course but can’t really compared them operational wise to proper business bays. So buyer needs to know what they’re getting into and the description of the place if it’ll suit their needs.
- measuring only from a square footage. Got to use price per square foot (including mezz, since smaller bay). In cgy usually $200-250/sqft. Unless you spend $2 mil and up on a stand alone to get that down to $175/sqft
- development for Calgary has a 2,000 sqft clubhouse, and a dedicated wash bay-bay.
- don’t forget the materials being used compared to other garage condo developments. (Ie. springbank, Okotoks without saying names of those buildings). Are wood frame, plywood, tyvek wrap, then vinyl or stucco. The exterior walls of this is 8” concrete tilt up walls. (Commercial division between units, 2x6 steel studs, then insulated, then legal firewall 5/8” drywall each side).
- I did minimal upgrades such as plumbing, outlets, pod lights instead of flourscent bulbs, builder was fully hands on (charged me, but other real commercials would had been pay us, here are the keys, bathroom literally a pipe)
- vaults launches Kelowna site near the airport and already 70% presold (held/deposit)
- of course there’s going to be condo fees, as even with any other business retail (jugo juice strip malls), or warehouse bays, with rules and regulations. Unless buyer wants to spend 7-figures in Calgary, not much you can do.
