Construction Update at 2 Gladstone

Mark Savel — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 13:00:13 +0000

One of the first preconstruction projects I started promoting on SavelBlogs was 2 Gladstone by Streetcar Developments. Sales started back in October of 2009 and to this day, I’m still getting emails from interested purchasers on it. It was one of the few projects to launch in 09 and with only 54 units, it didn’t take long for them to sell. Fast forward to 2011 and 2 Gladstone is back on the blog!

In early 2010 they demolished the existing buildings and by early spring the had dug a hole large enough to pour the foundation. From there it’s been nothing but up as they’ve already surpassed ground level and have started on the second floor! Estimated move-in is scheduled for October 2011 and with only 7 more floors to go, they might just build this one on time!

It’s hard to get a good indication on what the first level looks like as most of it is covered up, but once cladding starts I’ll be back to take some more photos… In the mean time, click on the thumbnails below to see the progress thus far.

While out on Queen West I spotted a few other sites “ripe for development” which is great news if you missed your chance to buy at 2 Gladstone. If Queen West is calling you…call me (or send me and email) and I’ll help you call it home!

A Few Units Left

On my last 2 Gladstone post, I wrote about the project selling out…and technically they did, but a few units are still available.

With all preconstruction condo deals, buyers are given 10 days to qualify for a mortgage and have their lawyer review the contract. If within that time something arises that hinders them from proceeding, the purchaser can back out and get their deposit back. The one bedroom units are still sold out, but a few two bedrooms are back on the market.

Since opening day last Saturday, prices have gone up by $10,000…BUT being one of the first Realtors to sell their has its privileges. They’re willing to honour opening day prices to my clients.

If you weren’t able to get in last week and are considering a 2 bedroom unit (from $329,000) send me an email…i’d love to help!” I have both price lists, floor plans and deposit structures.

Oh, and I still say congratulations to those who bought in last week…on paper, your unit has appreciated $10,000!

Did You Miss the Streetcar?

Streetcar Developments had it’s grand launch this weekend at its appropriately named “2 Gladstone” project! Sales started at 12:00pm sharply, and the crowd couldn’t wait to get in. Shortly before the doors opened, buyers were given their first opportunity to view the floor plans. There was a wide selection of layouts ranging from 527 sqf to 1,064 sqf and a variety outdoor/indoor living space… some units even came with 2 balconies. The staff was very organized and helpful at answering questions…they even gave us drink tickets for the Gladstone Hotel (which, by the way, served some amazing Green Tea) while copies of the contract where being processed!

It was also the first time the public saw an actual model of how the condo will look like (pictured above). In my opinion, it’s really fitting for the area and I can’t wait for the final product. It was also mentioned that Dufferin St. traffic will be diverted to the West of the condo allowing for less traffic down Gladstone Ave.

This is the point of the blog where I insert something like: ”units won’t last long so if you’d like to live here send me an email…i’d love to help!”!” BUUUUT on a second Sunday visit, this is what I saw:

so INSTEAD I say “Congratulations to everyone who was able to get in, I can’t wait to come back for a BBQ ;)

2 Gladstone..What i know

Mark Savel — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:48:35 +0000

Hey there 2 Gladstone lovers! I’ve been swamped this past week with tons of calls, questions and emails about details of the project. This got me thinking… there are probably a lot of readers with the same questions who for whatever reason haven’t called. For their convenience, I’m posting a short summary of what I know about the brand new launch this Saturday:

1. Sales will start on Saturday October 3rd at 12:00 sharp!
2. They’ve taken appointments in half hour windows with 10 people booked per appointment.
3. No prices, floor plans or marketing packages will released until then.
4. Only 54 urban spaces will be built!
5. Floor plans will range from 527 – 1064 square feet

I’ve reserved my spot well in advance, if you’d like to join me on Saturday, send me an email…i’d love to help! I love hearing from my readers, so if you have any questions above and beyond what I posted, do give me a call :)

2 Gladstone VIP Event

Circle your calendar…October 3^rd and 4^th are the official launch dates of 2 Gladstone, the newest loft to launch on Queen St West. I’ve already reserved one of the first spots for the 3rd, with the possibility of holding a few more. If you want the best floor plan in the development, then this event is for you.

The intimate loft will contain only 54 units and will raise 8 stories above Queen and Gladstone. It looks like a perfect fit with other area hotspots such as the Gladstone Hotel, Stones Place, Cadillac Lounge and The Drake Hotel. With TTC at your door steps and Price Chopper seconds away, 2 Gladstone is the ideal location for downtown living.

Prices, floor plans and deposit structures will all be unveiled at the launch, but from what I gather, prices will start at $229,000 for 549 square feet. That works out to roughly $420 per square foot. The exclusivity of only 54 units and being steps away from the much sought after Queen St West should make it a fast seller. Email or call if you’d like to join me at the event!
