The Palatial Collection At Success Tower
Pinnacle International
Are there too many condos in Toronto? Real estate wiz Brian Persaud takes on this contentious issue
We're feeling like nobility just looking at these new renderings from The Royal Collection
We happen to think that nothing beats a suite tour. So you can imagine how thrilled we were when Pinnacle International offered us the opportunity to tour three of their amazing suites in the “Palatial Collection” at their waterfront development, Success Tower.
The Palatial Collection at Success Tower lives up to its luxurious name and now, we’ve got the photos to prove it. We’ll be publishing three stories this week, each covering a different suite in the Palatial Collection. Read more
We took a ride down to Pinnacle International‘s Pinnacle Centre to scope out its boast-worthy amenities and see the amazing models that the Palatial Collection at Success Tower had to offer.
Suffice to say it was a busy afternoon of photo-taking but we came away with plenty of material. The amenities at the Pinnacle Centre are up first but we’ll leave you waiting with bated breath for the photos from the Palatial Collection — expect them next week.
So who gets to use the amenities at Pinnacle Centre? The residents of 33 Bay and Success Tower of course. Read more
We already told you about the enviable village life within walking distance of The Summit House at Morgan Crossing by Larco Investments.
However, what we didn’t cover was their stunning interiors and since we all know it’s what’s inside that counts, we’re going to delve a little deeper.
We’ve got some sweet renderings of The Summit House, highlighting the awesome features and finishes. Read more
How can you tell when there’s a long weekend coming up? One of our favourite tell-tale signs is looking at all the development industry event happening the weekend right before.
Since very few developers hold events on long weekends (they need time off too), it always seems like there’s twice as many events the weekend before. Proof? Just look at how many events are happening this weekend.
From high profile condo opening like 109OZ in Toronto and SoBa Condos in Ottawa to the Bella Vita Townhomes opening in Surrey, there’s something for every type of house hunter under the sun. Read more
We got our hands on some fresh renderings of IT Lofts earlier this week and were very pleased to share them with the world. Now we’re here to remind you of the Worsley Urban Partners project’s opening event on Saturday (May 12).
It’s a special one because it’s the first opportunity potential purchasers will have to get in the sales centre to get the real deal on this Little Italy development. There have been no VIP opportunities so this is a genuine, bona fide first chance at seeing all the project details.
If you want to get in on the action, you need to book an appointment by calling the sales centre. Ring up 416 690 0101 to get on the list. Read more
There’s nothing sweeter than a suite release, especially when it’s at a high caliber project like Picasso on Richmond.
Sales have been moving along very smoothly at the Goldman Group and Monarch development. Check out our interview with Michael Budovitch of TradeUp Real Estate to get the low-down on that.
In light of the strong sales, a new suite collection, dubbed “Sky Suites”, was released. The new collection, which includes 12 new layouts, has reached hot cake-level sales pace. Read more
Before Watermark at Bearspaw, building your own home in Calgary’s countryside meant having to drill a water well, build a septic field, and other hassles related to country living. Macdonald Development‘s Watermark offers buyers a chance to enjoy country life with the comforts of the city.
With home sites ranging from a quarter of an acre to an acre in size, and fronts from 80 to 145 ft, Watermark boasts sites twice the size of estate lots in the city, with even greater value. Not only are the sites large, but they’re fully serviced for all utilities. Read more
Montrealers might be surprised to find out that economists are starting to mention their fair city in the same breath as “condo crazy” Toronto and “most expensive city in Canada” Vancouver.
But the new numbers released by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation earlier this week have market experts surprised by the year-over-year leap in condo starts. According to the CMHC, condo starts rose 84 per cent, year over year in the Greater Montreal Area.
The numbers were so strong that they affected the results of the first few months of 2012. During Q1-2012, condo starts rose 3 per cent when compared to the same period in 2011. Once you throw the April 2012 stats into the mix, you get a 27 per cent compared to the same period in 2011. Read more
Calgary is quickly gaining a reputation for some serious real estate cred, and Tribeca by Bucci Living is the latest development to knock our socks off with its quick sales and awesome location.
On its first day of sales, Tribeca sold half of its units. No doubt due to its fantastic location in the Mission neighbourhood and sweet design specs.
Tribeca is a four-storey low-rise wood frame building, with 82 modern homes with super high-end finishes.
Floorplans include one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, two-bedroom, two-bedroom plus den and three-bedroom condominiums, ranging in size from 537 square feet to 1,064 square feet. Read more
Midtown Toronto is one of those perennially in-demand areas that has been a highly sought after place to live for generations.
We love the area around Casa Loma and firmly believe it will remain an in demand neighbourhood for generations to come. Are we doting on it too much? Sorry, we just can’t resist!
Speaking of things worth doting on, South Hill on Madison, the new Midtown Toronto development by Burnac has quite a few enviable attributes that will have you doting like crazy. Read more
