If I get the suburb/rural silence, I'll shoot myself between the ears, hahaha. We're looking into buying either a bigger condo (1300sqft+) or a row house in the core/Oliver/Grandin or Garneau, because we want a dog.
I find it that the units this size are so hard to come by that it is borderline ridiculous. And for me, that is one of the problems with Stantec, too. I can see families, especially those with both adults working Downtown, taking really good advantage of the amenities, including kids and pets, but the units are either too small or too overpriced.

Buy my condo. I'll give you the ol' Stevey G Certification of Skyrise Friendship Discount. And you can count that as a guarantee.

Haha I will be selling but I’m kinda just joking. My place is only a 2 bedroom at 900 sq feet and right downtown in the Dustbowl.

Probably prudent to hold onto it until the park is built.

Fair... My ideal is a 2/3 bedroom with 1000~1300 sq. ft., but a good floor plan with 900 would do the trick.

Even with those incentives $765+/sqft is still insane expensive for the average person looking to buy a condo.

Had a peak on realtor.ca and the cheapest condo is $359,000 for 469sqft & once your year is up on condo fees $567.78/month. yeeef

Fees of over a dollar per square foot? Can someone explain why?

My downtown condo, which is over 40 years old with a view of the river valley, is worth about $150,000 according to the COE's 2022 assessment (I could get way more than that if I sell it) plus $515/month in condo fees. I have no idea why SKY Residences is charging a more expensive condo fee when it's only a few years old.

I'd bet on amenities, and the lower number of people living there, compared to the size of the building, which increases the cost per unit, at the moment.

Unsure, but could include things such as:

-Utilities - often water/heat
-Access to a pretty amazing selection of amenities
-High quality common lounges, spaces

How do these amenities compare to the amenities of Legends? Those condo fees have me highly suspicious.
