-Point of View is bad, I've seen their finished products and they are very poor. Heard bad things about their service as well
-Battistella makes poor buildings IMO (exp. Chocolate).
-Intergulf makes good stuff, bad I've sold for them and it was a bad experience, so I'm a little anti-intergulf.
-I bought from Cove Properties and everything seems to be good so far. I don't have possession of that one yet, but their other finished buildings are built well.
-Anthem properties is one of my BC clients and they're building Waterfront which is great but expensive.
As far as condo fees and things like that, just take a good look at the budget and what's in it. What's included in the condo fee is far more important than the actual number. If you want lower condo fees, avoid buildings with swimming pools and choose a building that uses electricity for appliances/heating.
Buy a concrete construction unless you're trying to save $$. Woodframe is cheeper but you'll hear everything your neighbours do and the building will need more upkeep as time goes on.
If you do decide on one, and need help reviewing the disclosure documents send me a PM. I've read through hundreds of them. If there's specific developers you want an opinion on let me know too. If they've done anything in BC, I can give a pretty good review.
