Regent Park Condos Enhance a Rising Downtown Neighbourhood!

Regent Park Re-invents Itself as a Sought-After Neighbourhood

The central east end of Toronto is revitalizing, a new development is being built in this downtown neighbourhood. The Regent Park condos is part of a creative initiative that started in 2005, called the Regent Park Revitalization Plan. This 69 acre neighbourhood is a mix of townhouses, rental and high and low-rise apartment buildings, and condominiums. Upon the project’s completion, it is expected to have 5400 condo units more in addition to the current over 2000 rental units.

Other than housing, there will also be cultural and sports facilities, parks and retail space. The Daniels Spectrum easily became the cultural heart of the neighbourhood with its seven arts and non-profit organizations. In just a short amount of time, the Regent Park had a massive transformation, and received the attention of many civic officials from around the world.

What to Look for in a Condo Agent?

What does it mean to be a “condo agent”? Based on the name itself, it is someone whose specialty is the purchase and sale of prebuild or existing condo units. Being one of the hottest real estate markets in the country, Toronto’s condo market continues to be very active and new offerings trigger a lot of buyer activity. You would need someone on your side who can move quickly on your behalf and negotiate that often busy market for you.

How to know what to look for in a condo agent? First, ask for at least 10 recent client references that are not cherry-picked. Second, test the agent’s communication skills by asking yourself the following questions. Does the agent get back to you quickly – using whatever communication avenue you prefer? Does the agent listen to you and have a clear idea of what you are looking for in a Regent Park condo? Is the agent clear about your time frame? If you are in a hurry to settle, the agent should be prepared to work within that tight time frame?
They are all good questions, and require careful consideration as you set about to purchase your Regent Park condominium.
