There are many new pre construction condo projects in the market and buyers are a little confused which are to be recommended for investment . The Best location projects have higher per square ft rates.

This is such a tough question to answer because I don't think there a blanket answer for "BEST PROJECT". First of all, even within one project - depending on WHEN you buy, or WHO you buy with, you can be paying significantlymore than your neighbour. Same project but different returns.

Our guidelines are very simple but effective. The "best project" should be a mix of:

a) A strong developer with a good reputation
b) Excellent value (this takes into consideration pricing, rentability, when you buy in the launch cycle etc.)
c) A good location (a "good" location is one that is supported by infrastructure or plans are in place to have infrastructure in the future)

The best projects check all three boxes (off the top of my head: YC Condos - excellent developer, location and great value).

I would also consider projects with only 2 of the 3 boxes checked - example:

[x] Good Developer
[x] Good Value
[  ] Good Location

In this case - think of Daniels/Regent Park.  Daniels are an excellent developer who offered amazing value in a neighbourhood that many considered "bad" (Regent Park).  However, this turned out to be an amazing investment if you were able to see the vision of "New Regent Park".  A good developer CAN transform a bad location.

I would NOT consider a project that either has: A "BAD" developer (no matter how good the location or price is - there is no guarantee you'll get what you paid for) or "BAD VALUE" (no matter how good the developer or location is - it means you're overpaying from day 1).

Does ANY of that make any sense? :)

So, @KHALID AZIZ, what do you think is the best project? Or, are you looking for a specific one?

There is no right answer to this question...except do your research! like Roy said, research the developer and surrounding valuations to determine "Good Value". I would say look at the City itself and it's potential for growth and employment. Also, what are the rents in the area? What is the value of a single detached/town in the direct area...just some thoughts! oh and check out Link2 Condos + Lofts...a little shameless plug! :-)

Hi @KHALID AZIZ-

To answer your question: there are many good oportunities for investors in montreal, but everything is moving fast and changing ! my best advise for a sure value is of course LOCATION.


My favorite projects right now : downtown.

Lemetropol.com ( great condo space and design, close by CHUM hospital -l'UQAM university - Metro stations ... really instant access to everything ) that part of town is very strong.


Tomcondos.com ( luxurious skyscraper , easy access to Montreal's underground city, conveniently located in the heart of Montreal's business district )

You can read and watch video tours on my website : www.condopresse.com 
Contact me if your investers wish to know more.

It's true the further south you purchase the more the properties will increase in value.. but in Toronto, or Canada in general, only houses seem to increase at a rapid rate. You'll need to judge the developer and the location. If there are a lot of developments around the area, or potential developments, the property will probably devalue eventually..I'm living in a Concord Adex developed Tango (Park Place) building right now and have friends that have units in CityPlace and Tango Condominiums. Tango buildings have went up - this I can vouch for. The CityPlace locations by Spadina Ave in Downtown have went up year after year too.
You'll need to judge the lasting value of each property, or how long you plan to invest in it. After a while, only the locations with the best managed and best location will continue increasing.
