Anybody knows how pre-sales are doing for this project?

I was curious, so I registered today even though the "starting from" price on the website is beyond what I can afford. The email I got back said that pricing is "by appointment only and for serious offers only" right now. They do say that prices and selection are "excellent," whatever that means.

Seems like a strange marketing strategy and poor customer service. Unless they hope to convince you in person that it's such an awesome investment..
I'd prefer transparency and convenience. If I want to buy a car or some even new underwear I don't want to be told to come on in and we'll discuss price, AND I have to make an appointment, AND only if I'm serious will they give me their time. F them, I'll buy my silk boxers elsewhere then.

When the market is this crazy and you are constantly changing pricing to keep in line with the market you probably don't want your price sheets floating around.

If it's a hot market wouldn't you want to sell as many units now just in case things cool off before completion? Why limit and restrict access to something you're trying to sell? Compared to say Reenie in Vancouver who goes all in to sell a building out in one day. So maybe Victoria isn't that hot. Why stretch out your marketing costs if you can reduce the time period you're marketing for? And what happens if a new giant homeless shelter gets approved for construction across the street next month? Just think you'd want to reduce risk vs. hoping to cash in a bit more later, which seems to be more of a coin flip than a wise business decision. Said the armchair developer with no skin in the game.
You could leave a lot of money on the table with this approach. Units at the Janion are selling 2x pre-sale pricing.

Well, they own the property across Johnson, so little danger there.

Plus I seriously doubt getting construction financing is difficult in this market so there's probably less of a need to get 30% pre-sales or whatever to secure financing. With the number of listings falling like a rock and prices rising like a helium filled balloon banks are probably falling over themselves to finance these projects.

Yeah! It's a massive undertaking, for sure. It's probably smart that 989 has been selling by-appointment and with only a few units moving at a slow pace. The volatile phase that is excavation needs to be handled with precision to avoid an unexpected run on a developer's financing.

The slower pace has also allowed for Legato to get well above ground before much excavation takes place adjacent to their development.

Latest email suggests the official public launch is March 25th. They also sent me a VIP price list (just a very basic price range per unit type, no specific prices), and the mythical "starting at 289k" condos are nowhere to be seen. Based on the price list, it looks like $700/sq foot for the smallest units and somewhere between 600-650$/sq foot for the larger units.

Two-tower 989 condo dev's public unveiling scheduled for March 25th
http://victoria.citi...for-march-25th/
The unveiling of Cox Development’s highly anticipated sales centre for its two-tower 989 condominium project has been scheduled for March 25th, Citified has learned.
Situated in the 900-block of Johnson Street immediately across the street from 989’s expansive construction site, the development’s first reveal to the general public, says developer Dan Cox, will present the pre-sale home buying experience through a different lens.
“We’ve taken every extra step to make the home buying experience at 989 more immersive and engaging than what local buyers may be accustomed to,” Cox said, speaking to the level of detail that went into the design and execution of the full-display sales centre, and its nod to the world of high-tech with the introduction of a virtual reality home buying experience.
