……………
Luxury
Score: 4.5/5
This project is pretty high-end.
I wouldn’t say high-end like Shangri-La or Four Seasons
but definitely higher than your usual projects.
Funky architectural designs are usually
more luxury than average, and this fits the description.
Checkout the brochure for details.

Layout
The building has an interesting shape.
Often times we are fascinated by interesting shapes,
But most experienced investors know that
square or rectangle shapes are the best!
No circles or triangles.
These weird shapes tend to make decorating the condo
Difficult unless you have extremely good
Design sense or hire an interior designer
Who will help you decorate.
Pros:
High-end (not your average economy condo)
Very nice design & materials overall
Cons:
Expensive for the area
Beside railroad (can be a deal breaker if you are sensitive to noise)
Let’s take a look at individual layouts.
I’ve gone through every single layout and did the analysis.
Below are my top 3 picks.

Cash flow
To give you an idea for what the cashflow will look like,
I’ll use the 709sqft unit example as that is what I would buy.
$xxx,000
Initial investment: 20% downpayment + closing cost 6% = $xxx,000
Mortgage amount: $xxx,000
Total Monthly expenses = $xxxx
Expected Monthly rent in 2022 = $xxxx ~ xxxx
Monthly position on first year = -$xx ~ -$xx
Keep in mind that this is the cheapest unit in the project.
Other larger units are not very investment type,
they are more ‘you move in and you fall in love’ type of
principal residence kind of units.

Summary
In summary,
I think there are a few units in the project worth investing.
As you may know about me,
it is really all about
‘buy low sell high’
The first part of that phrase is ‘buy low’.
Everything starts with ‘buy low’.
In this project there are some units that have
good potential to be ‘buy low’.
If you’re looking to buy as your home to move in,
the larger units with good layouts and large terrace
can be a very good place to live,
especially if you consider
how the neighbourhood is going to develop in the future!
Please review the information,
