Guys I would appreciate your honest opinion on this: this morning I got the cheapest unit per sq ft in the building Berczy ($475 psf), the A3 unit on the 3rd floor (see floorplan attached). the unit has 650 sq ft interior plus a terrace of aprox 115 sq ft. In my opinion the unit has a great layout, however the low price as you can see in the floorplan is due to the unit has another unit's terrace in front and another one to the left so the unit won't have the best sunlight, it will be dark. Due to the position of the unit I think that maybe you will have some view of the CN tower, but very limited. A great building, one of the betters corners in downtown, the location is amazing, boutique building, very nice finishes, good price I think (475 per sq ft), very good layout, big terrace, but the big concern is that terrance in the front of the unit. I have 10 days to make my decision. what do you think?

I would have considered an A2 which I considered the best unit 1 bedroom unit design. the A3 as you say will be dark. If you are buying it to live in, ask yourself if you would be happy with a dark condo. If you are an investor, the price is right but it will not be a very desirable unit and if you wish to rent it, if there is an alternative, someone would be inclined not to take the dark condo. If you are looking to sell/flip, which I personally believe is risky, then I would think you would have to flip it to a non knowledgeable purchaser before completionbe cause I think it will be dark like you say and unless someone really wants the building or the location, or we are in the midst of a boom where there is limited choice, I think you may have difficulty selling.
That said, there is always a buyer but it may take time.
Great location for the building but not the unit. Just my thoughts.
