They will manipulate the numbers by holding back. That's why those who think precon is going to tank have their hands in the sand. The beauty about precon is if you don't see the returns you want, just don't build. Already started building? Delay or cancel the project.

And if it’s too cheap, it probably gets cancelled. I look at every new precon launch and the cheapest I’ve seen this year was 800s in Oakville, and the latter part of the year Oakville projects were even in the 900s. I am having trouble thinking of anything in the 700s.

Pinnacle is a good builder, they have never cancelled a project.

I think warden and Sheppard has potential, especially if they extend the Sheppard line one day. It's also right by DVP/401.

It's affordable, 738 a sq ft for a new build is a decent price.

No rent control, like all precon now.

They had smaller units in the first two towers so prices started in the mid 300s.

Also I find units in Scarborough tend to have better cash flow, I might even break even on this unit from day 1.

Scarborough has also appreciated more in the last 5 years with many buildings being 100% higher which most downtown might be up 70%, I think this could continue as people get priced out of other areas.

I actually am still kicking myself for not buying more in 2014. I was looking at some 2 bed condo towns on the ground floor for like $130k and now they are $400k... in 6 years.

sircheersa wrote: ↑ I think so based on buzzbuzz. They had two tall towers they sold our first and now they are selling the podium which is all larger units, even the 1 beds are quite large.

I wanted the other pinnacle project at 1 Yonge until I saw the price list.
