Oh nice! I love the open concept and contemporary feel to the place. The interiror flooring and brick work go well together offering a modern look and incorporating the original brick masonry of the building.

[Spokes]

Wow, they really did a good job on the conversion! It looks fantastic.

Any word on if they sold the last 10 units they mentioned in the ad above. (http://www.wonderfulwaterloo.com//showthread.php/31-Spruce-Garden-Lofts-|-Completed-Sales?p=145#post145) Their website doesn't say anything so I'm wondering how much left they have to sell.

Hello there,

I would like to take this opportunity and let you know about our promotion that we have in place this coming weekend (July 10th, 11th) and the weekend after (July 17th, 18th). You will have a chance to come in and give as an offer(all offers considered) on any of our five remaining lofts. All offers will be taken care of on the spot, therefore if you decide to own one you will need your cheque book to realize the deposit. The deposit has been brought down to five thousand dollars only, instead of 10% that we had in place earlier. Great Opportunity Awaits, come in during our open house ours (1pm-4pm), and explore the possibilities. Promotional flyer attached, feel free to give me a call in case you have any questions.

Regards,

Dalibor Radulovic, Sales Representative
HomeLife Power Realty Inc., 109-55 Erb Street East. Waterloo ON | 519-781-7000

This is a nice building and is quite cheap now, although, most of the unsold units are ground level. I used to live around that area and couldn't see myself going back..Not a whole lot around.

[Section ThirtyOne]

Wow, they did a fantastic job with that conversion! Shame about the location, as you really can't walk to anything.

The square footage + price is sure tempting though... some pretty heavy discounting going on.

[Section ThirtyOne]

Took a drive by today, and was surprised to find the area this development was in. I really question what the developer was thinking with this project, as they are WAY ahead of the curve.

The building itself looks great, but a luxury development is completely out of place in this neighbourhood. I don't want to sound snobbish, but the houses around this development are pretty ramshackle in appearance.

[Section ThirtyOne]

Did anyone pop by on the weekend to check it out? I would have, but wasn't available to do so.

I wonder if their "name your own price" promo worked out or not...

Don`t feel bad. You are completely right. I was very excited about this project when I saw this thread for the first time. Drove by the area and it took away my enthusiasm pretty quickly. Such a shame. Project looks fantastic.

I might drive by the area again and see if i rushed to judgment.

Does everything have to be pre-gentrified for it to be appealing? These lofts are on a quiet, walkable street, within easy walking distance of downtown Galt. To me that doesn't sound bad at all.

While that may be appealing, the aesthetics of the surrounding neighbourhood play a big part in a homebuyer wanting to pay ~$300K for a loft. Someone's unit may be beautiful, but the view out their window is not.

Unfortunately with brownfield redevelopments, sometimes an aging working class housing stock surrounding the development can be an issue.

I think a similar scenario is happening with 45 Degrees - many people are reluctant to purchase a condo amidst a sea of student housing.

[Spokes]

And buying into an "up and coming" neighbourhood would be appealing for some, to hopefully see the area grow, and therefore the investment.

[garthdanlor]

While that may be appealing, the aesthetics of the surrounding neighbourhood play a big part in a homebuyer wanting to pay ~$300K for a loft. Someone's unit may be beautiful, but the view out their window is not.

But, really, perspective buyers have to take into account that this is a factory refurb (a handsome one at that) in an old mixed residential industrial area in a town with a largely working class past. The reality is that if you want to live in a building such as this then there is a good chance that you will be surrounded by other old industrial and residential units in a mixed state of repair. While I'm sure this will scare off some buyers, plenty of others would be happy to trade suburban sterility for this. Besides, I'm pretty sure the pricing of these units has already taken into account the "up and coming" nature of the neighbourhood and they stand to make a good return on their investment when further redevelopment takes place in the surrounding area.

[jay]

The area is years away from being decent... Actually it is quite sketchy and very cheap to live in. It was overpriced in my opinion, but the building is very nice.

I actually question how much downtown Galt will be up and coming, if anything they seem to be losing more than they are gaining.

[Section ThirtyOne]

As someone who is actively shopping for a well finished condo, it just KILLS me how the developer can't seem to give these things away for free. They are so well done and finished, but the location just sucks any life out of the project.

Guarantee they could sell these for twice the price anywhere near uptown, and there would be lineups to buy them!
