The Downtown Condo Thread

[max_boost]

I sat down and made a check list of what I wanted in terms of amenities, surrounding areas, noise levels, entertainment, traffic etc. And back to Waterfront we go. Unfortunately the units I was looking at prior have all sold. It goes to show you snooze you lose lol there is still a 2nd and 3rd floor 2/2 933sq.ft for $550k in the new Outlook tower but that's smaller than what I want and only comes with 1 stall. Looks like my range is going to be in the 700's for a 2/2 ideally North facing so I can have front row seats to future floods.

Whatever you do I wouldn't buy anything less then 10 floors off the ground especially if your in a busy area. That is of course unless you want to hear every conversation outside when your windows open lol.

Anyone else having issues with the mls site? Getting no results for any type of search.

Nothing for me as well.

Anyone know info on LIFTT? http://www.liveliftt.com/home/

I think this will be popular with the Asian demographic; it's so close to Bubbles!

What about Concord? I think the location is probably a bit better for flood conditions and it is supposed to have a bunch of cool stuff for car guys (shop, car wash, lift, etc).

....errr, that said, I wouldn't ever buy into a Concord Pacific building

Worst recommendation ever.

That's because they believe in equality, you bourgeoise!

My buddy just bought into Guardian second tower for $350k, for a 570sqft (SW facing), 8th Floor with Parking.

I thought that was insane expensive for such a small condo thats a prebuild but he seems to think otherwise, am I out to lunch?

[flipstah]

I know a bunch of people who bought from Guardian I, also bought into Guardian II as a rental property.

Guaranteed, it wasn't $350k if he bought earlier. He paid the hype tax.

I totally think so too, especially in the past few months, I feel that this should have been around $300, especially since it isn't a high floor. I mean, if it was the 20th floor it would be close to $400k, give me a break!

Anyone have rates from a few months back for a small one bedroom?

I have to doublecheck which side the Stampede grounds face but a friend of mine got a higher floor, bigger sqft unit for $325k. Not sure if it came with parking or not (does the Guardian include parking regardless?)

Depends on the unit. Bachelor units don't come with parking included. I think the vast majority of the 1 beds do.

Also... if he bought in tower2 flipstah, he is feeding you bullshit. There are no units bigger than 572sf that sold for remotely close to $325K.

[LUCKYSTRIKE]

Yeah those do seem a bit high. I bought in Keynote 2 about a year ago, 630 sq ft on the 17th floor and paid 308k, not as posh as Guardian I don't think but does seem like your buddy got hosed a bit.

Really? Then he must also be hiding the hype tax haha.

Well if you really want to see retardation, check this out:

http://www.amycheong.ca/recip.html/b...tails-39236808

This was listed for $399,500 originally. Who the fuck pays over $700/sf for a one bedroom in Connaught. People are out of their minds.

[flipstah]

^ Now that's expensive.
