SoHo Champagne - Coming Next Month

For all of those patiently awaiting the launch of one of Ottawa's most sought-after condos - SoHo Champagne - the wait is almost over. In a little less than a month, on Saturday, June 4, 2011, Mastercraft Starwood will be releasing its 3rd luxury condominium project in Ottawa in Little Italy.

Located just one block west of Preston St., between Carling Ave. and Beech St., SoHo Champagne will offer its residents all of the neighbourhood amenities that one could desire - a lively night-life with near-by pubs and comedy clubs, delicious restaurants, walking distance to the Canal and Dow's Lake, established traffic arteries for easy access, and much more. To compliment the surrounding neighbourhood amenities, SoHo Champagne will offer its staple on-site amenities from saunas to hot tubs, from wine cellars to lounges, from private theatres to a professionally-ran gym, and everything in between.

If you’re tired of the “same old, same old” Ottawa condo and are ready to pamper yourself, SoHo Champagne will open your eyes to what a luxury condo can truly offer.
For a better understanding of what SoHo Luxury Condominiums offers, feel free to stop into the SoHo Lisgar presentation gallery (located at 300 Lisgar St. – between Bank St. and O’Connor St.) to see the difference between a regular condominium and a hotel-inspired condominium.

Hassle-Free Investment Condos

One of the biggest concerns I hear from client looking to become real estate investors is the managing aspect of the property itself - screening tenants, asking the proper questions, getting the proper paperwork and leases signed, setting the responsibilities of the tenant and owner, collecting rent, etc... It can be a daunting task for even the experienced investor.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to buy a pre-construction condo and once you have closed it not only came fully furnished, but an on-site property manager was available to help you rent it to qualified tenants? Well that's precisely what SoHo Lisgar is offering.

If you have been following SoHo Luxury Condominiums closely, you would know that a certain amount of suites were reserved for long-term executive rentals - run and managed by an experienced property manager. Well, we have decided to expand the duties of the property manager: for a small fee, this on-site manager will helpful manage your furnished suite at SoHo Lisgar. In order to qualify, you need to purchase the furniture package (starting from $20,000) with your suite purchase. this package includes everything from a bed and bed frame, to a living room carpet to side table lamps, and much, much more.

For those of you who have had reservations when considering real estate as a condo, this is a great opportunity to get your feet wet and alleviate some of the stress that can come with owing an improperly managed investment condo.

But be sure to act fast, there is only a limited number of suites that will qualify for this great furniture and property managed package.

Got Terrace?... SoHo Parkway Does

Hello again,

Time for another update on SoHo Condominiums in Ottawa.

For those of you who haven't been checking up on the progress at SoHo Parkway, construction is well under way and we are moving along according to schedule. But recently there has been a slight change in the building layout - the 3rd floor (which was previously reserved for long-term rentals) has been released for sale. To view the floor plans, please visit www.sohoparkway.com - the new floor plans are labeled A3, B3, etc…

What's so special about these floor plans? While the interiors still include the exquisite finishes that you have come to expect from SoHo Luxury Condos (concealed European appliances, Quartz countertops, Floor-to-Ceiling and Wall-to-Wall windows, etc…), most of the newly released plans feature a terrace with a gas-line for a barbeque and a hose bib.

What's the difference between a balcony and a terrace, you ask? The terraces at SoHo Parkway are at least 193 sq. ft. - almost double the size of the balconies AND you are able to have your own private barbeque - something that very few high-rises allow.

So if you're still on the lookout for that luxurious high-rise condo, with outstanding amenities available at your finger tips, but aren't yet ready to sacrifice a yard or exterior space - these floor plans are the answer you've been looking for. With prices starting at $269,900 these one-of-a-kind suites will not last long.

Whether you’re an investor, a first-time home buyer, or looking to down-size – SoHo Parkway has a plan to fit your life style. For more information on the availability and pricing, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for reading.

SoHo Lisgar - The Basic Details

Well, it's been awhile since my last blog - as some of you may know, I've been very busy with SoHo Parkway. With its huge success and record-breaking sales, it kept me quite busy. But now it's time to move on to our next site - SoHo Lisgar.

SoHo Lisgar is set to be launched to the public around April 2010 (no official launch date has been set yet) and will be located at 300 Lisgar St. (on Lisgar St., east of Bank St.). While no specifics have been confirmed for the building, you can expect the equivalent hotel-inspired specifications, features and amenties that are included in SoHo Parkway - professionally run gym, home threatre, hot tub, hotel-trained conceirge, etc... - if you are not familiar with SoHo Parkway, please visit www.sohoparkway.com for more details.

While none of the details about SoHo Lisgar have been released, here are some of the differences that you can expect:

- The Height: The height limits around 300 Lisgar are higher than on Parkdale, so you can expect SoHo Lisgar to be around 18-21 stories.
- The Size: Being on a larger lot, the building itself should be larger, thus containing more dwellings.
- The Design: All SoHo projects have a timeless design while still giving you the comforts of home, SoHo Lisgar will not be any different.

As SoHo Lisgar gets close to its April launch dates, more and more details about the building will be revealed, so please check back often for any updates.

For those of you who would like to be invited to the initial launch, please visit www.bennettpros.com and sign up for our Bennett VIP Club and you will not only be invited to the SoHo Lisgar launch, but any of our other new home project launches.
