Homes By DeSantis Dives Into the Condo Market with AquaBlu
By Lucas on Jan 06, 2015
2014 was a big year for Homes By DeSantis. In fact, the last few years have been very exciting for the Hamilton-based builder. Starting off the new year, Homes By DeSantis has a lot in store for the Niagara Region, but before we jump into that, let’s take a look back at all that the builder has accomplished recently.
Model homes at Lyon's Creek
As of the end of 2014, Lyon’s Creek in the charming village of Chippawa near Niagara Falls, was about 90% complete with the amenity spaces finally taking shape. When Phase 2 launched, Homes By DeSantis sold about 80% of the units in under five months. In response to the great success of the community, the builder released a new collection of 30’ detached homes, which are priced as low as $289,900. The Lincoln Model Home is currently for sale; it’s a 1,530 square foot townhome priced at $359,900.
Another tremendously successful community by Homes By DeSantis is Lincoln Square in Beamsville. The community is 100% built and sold out. Last year, the Fiera Collection was released, featuring 2-storey urban townhomes. This collection sold out in less than one month!
At the beginning of last year, Homes By DeSantis launched On The Ridge, a new community on the Niagara escarpment. 400 people showed up for the first day release of just 29 townhomes, and they sold out in less than a week. There are now around 40 semi-detached homes available at On The Ridge, with prices starting at $349,900. Occupancy at On The Ridge is scheduled for this summer.

With Homes By DeSantis’ record of quickly selling communities, it is absolutely crucial that you get the first look at their new Grimsby condo, AquaBlu. This five-storey boutique condo will rise on Grimsby’s waterfront and feature 15 unique floorplans and four townhomes. AquaBlu is scheduled to open this spring, so now would be the time to register.
In addition to the residential suites, the AquaBlu development will also have a three-storey commercial section, which will be accessible off the QEW. This is a smart move by Homes By DeSantis because while they are bringing a new standard of luxury to Grimsby, they are also creating a space for new businesses to thrive.
It is especially exciting to see a predominantly low-rise builder working on a condo development. Granted, the condo is only five storeys, but it is still a different style of living. Grimsby has a small town atmosphere; now combine that fact with a lakeside location and a boutique condo. Without a doubt, Aquablu will be an interesting development to keep your eye on, especially if you desire the condo lifestyle without living in a dense city centre like downtown Toronto. We predict that AquaBlu will attract empty-nesters, young couples, and even first-time homebuyers.

Why will AquaBlu attract first-time homebuyers? There are many young adults growing up in Grimsby who happen to enjoy living there and want to stay, and with prices starting in the $180,000s at AquaBlu, it is a great option. There are also many young people who went away for school but have graduated and want to move home without actually moving home. Being lakeside and about a half hour away from Niagara on the Lake, AquaBlu may even be an option for someone looking for a secondary residence. The options are endless and we can’t wait to see how the public responds to AquaBlu.
