That said, now that they've found a buyer - I don't really follow the price per sf numbers. They don't actually seem to work out.

And holy-carp are apartment condos horribly priced on a per sf basis. A bungalow down the street can be had for $446 per sf and it's got a basement, land, detached garage, improveability.

Maybe if those same prices per sf were in the actual downtown core...

Anyway, just random thoughts I've had about these places for awhile.
Some people don't like basements, land, detached garages, etc. You pay a premium for condo living for sure and this one does have some location perks being right in Brentwood, being right next to the C-Train station, and being close to the University.

I have friends who purchased this condo but I have concerns about the future condition of these buildings or noise and activity, etc. as they will likely turn into a hub of student living from people renting them out to groups of students or to parents of lucky kids who get them a place by the University while they are attending.
