We have a 3BR with your name on it! Maybe even one of the townhomesAgainst all odds, apparently this is performing very well...
Really interesting to me. I figured this would be a disaster for Fitzrovia - other than being beside Yorkdale, the neighbourhood actually isn't that great.. rents are falling, and Fitzrovia positions itself as a premium rental product. I guess the cache of living next to Yorkdale is enough to drive rents, which I would not have guessed. I really like what Fitzrovia is doing so I'm happy it's apparently paying off.Against all odds, apparently this is performing very well...
Were you at ICSC?We have a 3BR with your name on it! Maybe even one of the townhomesIt's become an interesting beachhead for couples with ties to 905 (parents or work) with the other partner working in the City.
I heard the opposite - They're apparently still over 25% vacant with a bigger % of those being their 2 & 3 bed units.Against all odds, apparently this is performing very well...
Building B (middle red one) just opened and has over 200 units, but Building A (western red one) and Building C (grey one) are leasing well. Unfair to reference gross vacancy considering that.I heard the opposite - They're apparently still over 25% vacant with a bigger % of those being their 2 & 3 bed units.
If you think achieving 75% occupancy in the first year at this location, in this market is something to scoff at, I'm not sure what to yell ya, friendo.I heard the opposite - They're apparently still over 25% vacant with a bigger % of those being their 2 & 3 bed units.
A less than 6% absorption rate is below what would be a target, and 25% vacancy with primarily your highest rent units (which have the slowest uptick), is also not a good marker. You can qualify it if you want, but that is not "performing well".If you think achieving 75% occupancy in the first year at this location, in this market is something to scoff at, I'm not sure what to yell ya, friendo.
