You’ve heard about the 333 Sherbrooke East before, the celebrity condo project was aiming to deliver the second phase last fall, and we have news of their grand opening.

According to the article from Canadian news wire, the luxury project completed the 62 condos of their second phase. A value of 35 million, the new structure features a suspended pool on the 10th floor, scheduled to open this summer. One of the units in the ground floor was converted into a wine cellar – for the resident’s exclusive use!.

With the condo project being completed, co-owners are to take occupancy starting from the first week of February. There are still 32 townhouses from phase 3 that remains to be finished and delivered- for the spring time. We’ll be reporting on that.

And before I forget …phases 1 and 2 are sold by 60%, so there’s still some lovely condos available in both buildings.

Additional info, opinions and other rants are encouraged on the comments!

Featured Condo: Les Cours Cosmopolis Laval

Deya Bautista — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:30:47 +0000

Where: 2100, avenue Terry Fox, Laval.
Size: 2 buildings, 6 floors each , 160 units in total.
How much: $229.500 starting price.
Architect: (we just don’t know)
Developer: Le Groupe Cholette
The Scoop: Supposedly, this is one of the most talked about Condo complex in Laval. Why? well… apart from the awesome interior design, the architectural style (glass, metal and concrete) is a mix of modern and elegant, without looking overly pompous. Choices of indoor or outdoor parking.

The Cosmodôme and Colossus cinema are within walking distance, along with a choice of restaurants (not sure how good they are) and let’s not forget the well-known supper club Moomba (Wednesday night, ladies special). Gym, supermarkets and all amenities also close by, so you never have to leave Laval ever again. But if you do, access to highway 15 is right down the street and upcoming metro station Montmorency.

Their website has some mention on rentals in the building(s), and a few very enticing images are displayed in the form of virtual tour.

Try to get a condo like that in Montreal, for less than 300k.

If the average price is 205k, what’s the most expensive apartment for sale at this moment? We searched online for properties over 3 million in the metropolitan area, and came up with 3 winners. But this one gets the cake:

It’s located in Old Montreal. The asking price is over 4 million

The luxury condo development called Sleb on the corner of St. Laurent and Ontario was originally started by Minco Construction. In 2003 by Luciano Minicucci. Dozens of home buyers invested at the pre-construction level of this project.

The project started in 2003 to be completed in 2005 and that same year Minco Construction sought bankruptcy protection from it’s creditors, since then no work has been completed in Sleb.
