It’s been a few months since our last Yorkville Condo Performance update, but we’re back and excited to fill in our readers with what they missed!
As we had predicted in our June post, July 2010 did much better than the prior year. Sales were up 35% for the month, with the most popular layout being the 1 bed units at 14 sales and the 2 bed units close behind at 12!
August had slightly less sales this year with 32 units selling in the summer month! The one bed layout continued the trend in August, making it the post popular unit with another 14 sales occurring. Despite the small dip in sales numbers, a milestone was reached with the sale of a $12,000,000 condo at No 155 Cumberland!
Sales increased by 29% for September with 41 units being sold. The two Cresford built condos, Bloor Street Neighbourhood and CASA Condos, saw the most amount of sales with 11 and 6 sales respectably! It’s typical for new condos to have high sales shortly after they regisiter as most speculators and other investors sell them off to invest their profits in other projects. These two condos are also the newest additions to the Yorkville neighbourhood.
For the first time in 2010, not one bachelor unit sold in all of Yorkville! The one bedroom unit was once again the most popular layout followed closely by the one bed plus den and the two bed floorplans. The Prince Aurther Residences (at Avenue and Bloor) had the highest price sale for August. On average condos sold for 97% of asking with one lucky purchaser negotiating down the price to 88% of asking!
With summer officially over and the fall market arriving, we’re predicting another month of sales increasing vs the same period in 2009. With more inventory coming on, and historically low interests rates, purchasers have a lot of reasons to make the move up to Yorkville.

Chaz on Charles will be the newest condo to launch in the Yorkville neighbourhood! On Tuesday, the BloorCondos team attended the “brokers only” event for this new project. Having hardly heard of the condos developer, Jason Fane, we weren’t exactly sure what to expect. Thankfully there’s good news and there’s better news…
The good news – learning how Mr. Fane has over 40 years of international real estate experience with dozens of apartment and commercial buildings in Toronto and New York State. The better news – hearing about the fresh concepts him and David McComb of Edenshaw Homes have for the condo!
The big emphasis with Chaz Condos is creating a social neighbourhood. A lot of the amenities are there to help connect residents of the building. Take for example the “Chaz Club” (pictured above) located on the 36th and 37th floor! The club will be 2 storeys high with a Grand Room, Lounge and Bar offering panoramic views to the south of the City. For those with a more competitive side, there will be a state of the art computer gaming arena for residents to battle for gaming glory rights! A first in Toronto will be it’s 3-D screening room featuring the very latest in 3-D viewing technology.
Chaz will be joining the likes of CASA, X and X2 condos on Charles St. The location is just far enough on the outer boundary of Yorkville to not be paying the “high-end” price often seen in Yorkville yet still put you in walking distance of all that the luxurious community has to offer! It’s also steps from the Bloor/Yorkville subway station!
Contact us to buy into this exciting project during the VIP sales period. All worksheet must be received by August 9th 2010 and on a first come first serve basis!

As construction nears completion at Uptown, the soon-to-be residences have another reason to get excited! Recently the developer, Pemberton, had a “roof-topping” celebration to thank the trades for the work done thus far. The 48-storey Art Deco-inspired tower can be seen above rising up from Bloor and Balmuto. The completion of the roof is another step closer to finishing the projects construction!
A selection of luxurious suites remains on the upper floors, all with panoramic views from large balconies and/or terraces. Sophisticated living is available in suite sizes from 1,270 to 2,110 sq. ft. The remaining units are priced from $947,900 to $2,142,900!
Contact us if you’d like more information on purchasing at the Residences of Uptown!
This past weekend, Yorkville hosted it’s inaugural exotic car show in support of the SickKids Foundation! Tons of people turned out to see the many Ferrari’s and Porsche’s on display. For those that missed the event, check out some of the cars the BloorCondos team took photos of below:
