Aqualina at Bayside Toronto

Bound by Sherbourne, Queens Quay, Parliament and Lake Ontario, Bayside is yet another brand new neighbourhood being developed in our city. On Wednesday, Tridel and Hines released details of the first condominium to be built in the area.

Aqualina at Bayside Toronto was designed by Miami-based Arquitectonica out of their New York office. It will provide the new waterfront neighbourhood with 363 suites and, like other buildings in the area close to the water, will retain a lower height of only 13 storeys. Unit sizes will range from one bedroom and 560 square feet, up to three bedrooms and 2,100 square feet. The building is designed to be a series of stacked cubes with angled balconies to take the best advantage of the views the lake will provide. While all buildings in Bayside Toronto will be LEED Gold Certified, Hines is striving to have Aqualina certified LEED Platinum.

At only 1.7 km to Union Station, the future Bayside Toronto is closer to downtown than most people realize, and at 13 acres, it's a sizeable parcel. Throughout its development, 1,900 residences will be constructed on its blocks. A number of landscaped public parks, a water's-edge promenade, through-streets and light-rail transit will be just some of the new features of this long neglected area of the city. Over its various phases, Bayside Toronto is expected represent an investment of a total of approximately $1.1 billion.

GTA Real Estate Newsletter - June 2013

Sales in May from the Toronto Real Estate Board, 10,182 homes sold, bringing the year total to 37,224. 43.15% of the annual sales occurred by May 31, so it appears that we will have over 86,000 sales by the end of 2013, making it a more active year than 2010 and 2012, (89,000 sales in 2011). The average selling price for May 2013 sales was $524,174, up by 5.4 per cent in comparison to $514,567 in May 2012, and the average sale price for the year rose to $521,418.

While demand for homes remains strong, there is a slight adjustment occurring, from a Sellers market to a Buyers market. A Sellers market exists when there are fewer homes available for sale than buyers. Prices rise steeply as buyers compete to buy a home. In a Buyers market there are several homes that they can buy and can negotiate at leisure to get the home that they like. However, well priced homes, within 5% of the market value will sell quickly and with multiple offers. (if a property is for sale longer than 18 days we know it is overpriced by at least 5%)

Prices are expected to continue to rise. With recent tightening of mortgage rules, rental properties will benefit as some individuals will continue to rent instead of buying. With low interest rates, it's a great time to buy an investment property or upgrade your personal residence.
