Canary District Condos is here. Platinum VIP Sales are on now. If you are interested in purchasing a unit at Canary District, simply complete the form below to register for the Platinum VIP sales event.

As the first new condo in the heart of the West Don Lands neighbourhood, this project is already generating a lot of attention from Realtors, the media, and condo investors alike. Because the West Don Lands is a brand new neighbourhood, being built from scratch, most people don’t even know where it is! This post will help you understand where Canary District Condos is going to be located in relation to the downtown and in relation to the West Don Lands.

The first image above in this post shows the entire downtown east side, including the West Don Lands. Side note: many people find it confusing that the “West Don Lands” neighbourhood is actually on the east side of downtown, the name is derived from the Don River which empties into Lake Ontario here. The name is derived from the fact that the area is on the west side of the Don River.

This next image below is a zoom in of the West Don Lands which shows Canary District. What is not on this map is three new TTC streetcar stops which will be located along Cherry Street.

Next up is a picture of a scale model of the West Don Lands neighbourhood. In the foreground is the Don River Park. Right up the middle is Front Street which will act as the centre piece of the neighbourhood. It will be as wide as Spadina avenue, but will only have 2 lanes for traffic. The remaining expanse will be filled will extra wide pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and sitting areas, lush landscaping, and patios for the restaurants, cafes and shops.

Next is a photo of the actual site for Canary District as it looks today. It is amazing to think that this empty piece of land will play such an important part of Toronto’s future. The West Don Lands will be a model for urban renewal and brownfield redevelopment for cities all over the world!

Finally, here is a promotional video for Canary District put out by the developer and just released yesterday:

Coming Soon to the West Don Lands: Canary District Condos. Fill out the form below to receive floor plans and pricing and for your chance to buy a suite in this project before the public release.

The West Don Lands is an entirely new neighbourhood is under construction in downtown Toronto and its name is the West Don Lands. The centre piece of the neighbourhood is the 18-acre Don River Park which is nearly complete. It’s amazing to think that in just 3 years time, this HUGE parcel of land which was an industrial waste land just a couple years ago will be completed transformed into a thriving neighbourhood with condos, apartments, retail, schools, recreation facilities, new public transit lines, roads, bike lanes, restaurants and shops.

The reason why so many people are already excited about Canary District Condos is because this is the first opportunity to purchase something in the centre of the West Don Lands neighbourhood. River City and River City 2 are great projects and also located in the West Don Lands neighbourhood, however, Canary District arguably has a much better location as it will be right on the new section of Front Street, which will lead directly in the heart of the Don River Park.

Something extremely unique about Canary District is that the building will be completed in time for the 2015 Pan Am games and the units will first be used as housing for the athletes. Once the games are finished, the suites will be finished to the purchaser’s specifications and handed over. Exact details on this program are yet to be released but something similar was done in Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Finally, check out this great video from Waterfront Toronto which talks about the West Don Lands and preparation for the 2015 Pan Am games.

*I had to put an asterisk right in the title of this post because of course there are plenty of stipulations on this promotion from Concord Adex. It may sound too good to be true…but it’s not entirely.

It’s starting to feel like 2007 all over again as would-be buyers have been lined up at Concord’s sales office near Front and Spadina for a few days now to take advantage of this sales event happening this Saturday at 12 noon. It is in celebration of Concord’s 20th anniversary in Canada.

The conditions:

• 20% off is applied as a cash rebate at final closing (so you pay $300K for the unit and Concord promises to rebate  you $60K at final closing)
• Only applies to the first 20 purchasers in line on Saturday March 28th at noon (First unit purchased will receive the 20% cash-back, any subsequent units purchased by the same person will get 15% cash-back)
• Only applies to units at Parade Tower 1 for Cityplace, and for buildings A,B and D at Park Place (Concord’s other mega-development at Leslie and Sheppard)
• Subsequent purchasers who buy units on March 28 will receive a 15% cash rebate – not a bad consolation prize

The first 20 spots are already locked up by people who have been camping out at the sales centre, but if you are an investor or first time buyer looking to get a good deal, the 15% off could be a great opportunity. As long as you are not too picky about what suite you purchase, because most of the prime suites are long gone from Parade 1.

If you would like more information on this promotion from Concord feel free to contact me.

This unique residential enclave will be situated between Blue Jays Way and Spadina in downtown Toronto. The 24-storey building will be crafted from glass and metal panels, with a unique interplay of distinctive and dramatic glass balconies on its western façade.

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.
