Telus Garden

[westar99]

Thanks for your message of congratulations Warren12. I slept on my purchase last night, awoke and am still very pleased. I'm sticking with it and won't be turning this over as an assignment (sorry everyone). The finishing are quite good and the price per square foot was reasonable on the 2 BR I bought. The prices were not that much more than Marine Gateway per square foot and I've got downtown parking! That said, there is no T & T downstairs.

As far as new condo developments go, this is one I would feel most comfortable with. Congrats on the purchase!

I'm excited to see this development take shape.

I purchased 2 units. 1 brdm at 296k and 1 bdrm at 334k . Outstanding project.

Because it is a Telus project, the company decided to offer its employees the first opportunity to purchase. Magnum expects Telus employees to participate or purchase 25% of the units. Telus employees and other groups have now purchased pretty well all of the 1 bedrooms in the project. As the priority preview email stated, 2 bedroom units start at $680k. Most Telus employees wrote their contracts on Mar 18 and have 8 days to decide whether they will keep their units. So there is a possibility some units will come back. Initial returns have been lower than expected though and those returned are usually coveted units.

Don't see what's wrong with their tone. They did a good job organizing the croud.

All the 1bdrms are gone. Telus employees bought them all. Only 2bdrms from $679K still avail

Actually there were less than 20 units available before the start of this Sunday's Event. Remaining units were on higher levels and no 1 bedrooms were available.

1 Bedroom + flex 6-38 467 – 569 sq ft $279,900 – $500,000’s

If higher floors 1Bds were sold in $500,000's+Taxes, they went for $900+Can/sq.ft. Wow.

SO not worth it. Unless you like the view of the telus office employees outside your window or the next building in front of you.
Watch the values drop in a few years when it's built and owners realize they ain't getting a view.

[Kronfeld]

The upper units will have awesome views.This is a 53 fl building !
Second tallest in Vancouver. The new office building is only 30 fl and the older building on Seymour much less.

The lower level suites you're talking about with office views sold for under $600 sq ft . Fantastic value when the quality of the building is considered.
