775 King West by Minto

December 23rd, 2009

775 King West by Minto has been on the radar for a while, but it looks like 2010 will be the year this one takes off. Almost a year ago to the month, Minto closed the doors at the sales centre and put the project on hold. The general opinion on the project at the time was high prices per square foot, awkward floor plans…. and oh ya, they launched right in the thick of the big bad recession!

Since then Minto has been taking quite a few steps to improve the project. They’ve been getting a lot of public and Realtor opinion on what went wrong. It’s becoming a popular trend (and one I hope we see a lot more of in 2010) to have developers engage the public and incorporate their opinion into the developments they build.

According to their latest Tweet (as of August 30th 2009) “Great news! Minto is moving forward with plans to launch MintoKingWest as early as Feb 2010! New floor plans in the works right now.” This is the second King West project to launch in 2010, the other being DNA3! As always, if you’re looking to live downtown…I’d love to help!
