"In addition to the rooftop facilities, there will be the Bayside Sports Entertainment Centre atop the fourth-floor podium, featuring an outdoor pool, running track, squash courts, craft room, library and private dining room.
"If you add up all the amenity space there is 75,000 square feet of total space indoors and outdoors," Feldman says. "This is almost two acres."
Prices will start at $198,900 and go to just over $1 million for the penthouses. Parking will be included and maintenance fees will be 36 cents a square foot, plus the separately metred hydro.
"The reason we can keep the maintenance fees so reasonable with all the amenity space at California Condos is that the costs will be amortized over our other Mystic Pointe communities – iLofts, TIDES and California Condos," Feldman explains.
I understand that amortized on the basis of multiple building reduces the investment per building..... That said, the management and maintenance of these "community" resources seem to always create strife for the condo owners in the individual towers.
