I did not. I just found out it's important to cap the development cost.

Yeah, we have over 300 while they have 78. Let's see.

The appointment is virtual so you can attend from anywhere. You can also opt out if you want the standard features by responding to the appointment email. My Building is 6

Do u know if there is additional charges for the selection of the non standard features?
 
Yes building 6 is block 6. There will be additional charges for non standard features for sure. After Electricals, there will be another appointment for decor, I intend using the 5k given by the builder for decor upgrades. Also, I saw another 5k to be used as credit against closing cost only.

I bought towards the end of 2018. The first 3 pages. 1 is for Decor and the 2nd one for closing cost credit
 
You made a good point Gguest, I didn't even think about the developing cost. The 'Haven Developments' that was mentioned, owners had to pay ' $70,000 and $170,000 in less than a week before they were able to close on their properties.
I definently feel our situation will be similar especially with the amount of time it's taking and how the cost of materials have gone up. My friend bought a condo after me and she has closing in January and had capped development which unfortunately I didn't know about.. lesson learned. Probably just going to buy a regular developed house next time and avoide preconstruction.

I'm still looking for the breakdown of any Haven closing cost.

The post below is a good read where some closed on a Condo in Toronto last year. I expect 4% to 8% closing max. Feels high but it's better to be prepared.

Just closed on a pre-construction condo, and my fees were... - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

Purchase Price: 639,900. Total additional money paid to take title of the property: 39,519, or approximately 6.2% of the purchase price. This

That was definitely a good read, learned new things. This is my first preconstruction unit so I have no idea how much the costs were. This link was definitely helpful in explaining how the fees work and what to expect, thanks for sharing.

Yes I agree, better to save up extra and have $ just in case and not need it than to need $ and not have it. I actually saved up a bit but than the builder changed the closing date so I ended up buying another propety 2 years ago and ending up putting all of my saving for Heart lake into that. I definitely don't regret the move as I can always sell it and put the money back into Heart lake unit and I got a little cash flow going on and now I kinda wanna keep both 😆.

I'm sure at the speed these guys are building I'll have plenty of time to save up.
 
I called a year or so ago and the guy on the phone told me to expect upwards of $20,000 for closing costs.. I’m expectIng at least double at this point.

-sighs-

They still haven’t even finalized the ‘unavoidable delay’ caused by the strikes a few months ago. What an incredible disappointment.

Note to anybody reading through this thread in the future: Vandyk is notorious for delaying projects, and all though we have had to deal with this Covid scamdemic, I assure you they would have delayed it to the max regardless. I was reading through some comments about another build they did in the early 2010s and they issued an unavoidable delay for a 2 day ice storm event.. lmao, what a crock
