Luxury options for all kinds of buyers at Arbour Vale
By Lucas on Oct 26, 2016
During the summer, we were very excited about Pinewood Niagara Builders’ new luxury condo in St. Catharines, Arbour Vale. Today, we have more details to share with you!
One of the best things about Arbour Vale is that it’s a luxury option that won’t break the bank. In the St. Catharines area, you get a lot more for your money per square foot. If Pinewood Niagara Builders decided to build a condo of this quality in downtown Toronto, it would be unattainable for the majority of homebuyers.
Recently, the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) released its new home statistics for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), announcing that the average price for a new low-rise home neared $1 million in September 2016. A new detached home in the GTA averages nearly $1.2 million!
A decade ago, $1 million would get you a true luxury home in the GTA, but now the new home marketing industry has had to rethink how to use the word luxury. At Arbour Vale, you know you’re actually buying one of the most luxurious condo units in Niagara.
There are two collections at Arbour Vale; the Designer Collection and Garden Collection. The Designer Collection features condo suites in a mid-rise building, inspired by French architecture. The building features stunning masonry, a port-cochere, and wrought-iron detailing. The suites feature 9’ ceilings, soaker tubs, hand hewn ceiling beams, and other custom millwork.
The Garden Collection features bungalow townhome condos and two-storey townhome condos, also inspired by French architecture. A few of the impressive interior features and finishes include 9’ and 10’ ceilings, surround sound home theatre systems, marble or porcelain wall tile in the ensuites, and innovative optional features like a mirrored panelled accent wall.
Since Pinewood Niagara Builders can offer more for your dollar, not only are the condo suites extra elegant, they are also very spacious. The suites range from 1,191 to 2,439 square feet with one-, two-, and three-bedroom plans. With this wide range of options, Arbour Vale is an amazing opportunity for move-up buyers and downsizers looking for a high-end lifestyle.
One of the things preventing a lot of downsizers from moving into luxury buildings is the monthly condo maintenance fee, but Pinewood has managed to keep the fees very low! Condo fees are based on square footage, and at Arbour Vale, they have condo fees as low as $250. The smallest unit is 1,191 square feet, which means your fees are around $0.21 a square foot. To put that in perspective, in most downtown Toronto condos, you’ll pay over $0.50 per square foot a month.
Lower condo fees mean lower carrying costs, which is ideal for downsizers with their eyes on retirement. It’s also great for move-up buyers because it allows them to put more money into their home.
Located at Glen Morris Drive and Jacobson Avenue, Arbour Vale is surrounded by many family amenities, including schools, golf courses, restaurants, banks, shopping, and parks. There are elementary and secondary schools, as well as colleges, so raising a family at Arbour Vale is an option!
Of course, the one-bedroom suites are ideal for buyers in search of a vacation home close to Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake wine country, and Fallsview Casino. Niagara Falls is one of Canada’s most popular tourism destinations and the residential market is starting to heat up. Now is the time to invest!
