On the agenda for Monday’s Saanich council meeting, is ratification of the Development Permit Amendment.

The covenants and the Housing Agreement (to maintain 10 units as rental units for a minimum 10 yrs) are now registered.

It must surely be over 60% sold-out by now, no? It was at 60% some time back, I believe.

Perhaps the title of this thread should be updated to "Under Construction"?

The feds will be making an announcement regarding this project's eligibility for the newly launched federal shared equity program for first-time purchasers.

 

It doesn't appear to be project-specific, just promotion of the federal program.

 

Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, on behalf of the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development and the Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), will be there. So the actual minister responsible for CMHC won't be there.

They've started doing deficiency walk-throughs. I was there yesterday with clients, cool rooftop.

Wow. Very cool they did that! 

Hopefully they dont have water/leak issues.

Exactly the same thing is going to be done at The Wade, but far more planters. Each resident will have the choice of an herb or flower garden in their plot.

Yup. We know you're a fan of the Wade...

Watched this one a bit, as it checked some of our boxes but not all, and I was surprised to see them raise the price of the last one. Haven’t seen that before, maybe it’s more common than I think.

What’s there not to be a fan of? The hate-on for The Wade never made much sense.

The price went up well after it was completed. I’m not talking presale compared to finished product. It went up because it was the last one, which actually makes sense but not something I’d seen before. Will the last unit at the wade jump $20k after all the rest are done and sold? Maybe!

881 just went through its deficiencies so it’s just at the cusp of completion. Prices rise for completed product, typically.

Wade is sold-out.

Mr. Chard told me once if you are sold out on completion you've left money on the table; therefore, as a developer you want to increase your prices as you are building the project if inventory starts running low. That is exactly what they did at 881 Short. One of my clients was the second person to purchase at 881 and it was a lot less than what last unit sold for. 

 

Also, first time I've ever seen this in my career but they are letting buyers pick their parking spots based on when they purchased so my client was able to pick the second parking spot (wider spot, close to elevator, etc.).

So you’re saying it’s standard for the last unit go up in list price pre completion? Good to know. It was listed then I saw the price change, up 20k, then it sold.

Supply and demand. If you’re nearly sold out at completion, there’s demand for your product. The remaining inventory will be in demand and some people prefer to pay more but see/feel exactly what they’re getting and not have to budget several years for completion.
