Buzz Talk with Don Forsgren [INTERVIEW]

Posted on | buzzhomeblog Posted in ALBERTA, BC, BUZZTALK, DEVELOPMENTS, ONTARIO | 1 Comment

In this edition of Buzz Talk we chat with Don Forsgren, the President of Intracorp. Don has been with the company since 1994, and took on the role of President in 2000.

Intracorp lives by the philosophy “Building the Extraordinary” and have certainly lived up their motto with awesome projects that capture the heart of their communities.

We chatted about his driven start in the business, Burnaby’s “Great Street”, the future of Vancouver’s real estate development scene, and the best place to get a killer latte in Vancouver. Turns out it’s our favourite place too!

BuzzBuzzHome: How did you start your career in real estate?

Don Forsgren: I was interested way back as a kid in building and creating things and think that drove me to be interested initially. I attended UBC and did the commerce degree in Real Estate.

Annex Town5 offers spacious new homes in midtown Toronto

Posted on | buzzhomeblog Posted in DEVELOPMENTS, ONTARIO | Leave a comment

We really like this new trend we’re seeing take shape where a developer will build a small number of large, multistory suites in or around the heart of the city. Of course, more space is inherently appealing, but we also think larger suites with 2 or 3 storeys are a great alternative to the traditional single detached home.

Annex Town5, a new project by Joy Developments, is a perfect example of this trend. The development has 5 units ranging in size from 1450 to 1500 square feet. Each unit has 3 storeys leaving us wondering what the heck we should call this type of development? Is it a loft house? A townhome? A loft condo? Read more
