GENERAL INFORMATION

Tableau Condos is a new Condo Development by Urban Capital Property Group located at 117 Peter Street in the Entertainment District.  Tableau Condos is one of the first major developments as part of the Richmond Street redevelopment from the old "Club Land" as the city plans to eliminate 2/3 of the clubs in the district.

Tableau Condos is one of the top investor picks for 2010 given it's price per square foot, favourable deposit structure and previous success of the builder within the City (with projects such as Boutique, River City and Nicholas).  Tableau (French for Table) will be a mix of retail and commercial on the first 5 floors (Under the "TABLE") and Residental on the 6th floor up (Above the "TABLE").  A "Table" will be build around the current building, which will form the base for the residential tower.

PRICE ANALYSIS

Tableau compares very favourably to other new developments in the Entertainment District and has been a very popular project amongst investors.  In the first round of sales, Tableau sold 60% of the development in one shot – almost unheard of for a building of this size.  Tableau is located in between the very popular King West & Queen West areas, giving residents the best of both the Entertainment along King and the Fashion along Queen.  

In terms of pricing and deposit structure, Tableau compares very strongly compared to its competitors.  There are a number of new Condo Developments in and around the Entertainment District as the area is currently undergoing a revitalization – projects such as The Mercer, Studio and 12 Degrees are all developments within a 5 minute radius of Tableau.  At most developments, it is very difficult to find anything less than $600 per square foot, whereas Tableau starts at $550 per square foot making it a very popular choice.

Development Address ~Price/Sq.Ft. Occupancy Mt.Fees/Sq.Ft Parking Deposit
TABLEAU 117 PETER $550-$575 FALL 2014 $0.52 $35,000 15% + 5%
The Mercer 8 Mercer $575-$625 2015 $0.515 $45,000 15% + 5%
Studio Richmond & Duncan $575-$625 Fall 2013 $0.52 $35,000 15% + 10%
12 Degrees 25 Beverley $600-$650 May 2012 N/A $40,000 20% + 5%

When determining the the pricing for a new development, it is very important to compare to the resale market.  The resale market gives us valuable information on the current market in the neighbourhood and can also give us valuable information on how those condos have appreciated in the past few years.

Development Price/Sq.Ft. Approx Appreciation Rate
18 Beverley (Pheobe) $500-$550 9-11%
36 Blue Jays (SoHo Met) $500-$550 8-10%
21 Nelson (Boutique) $500-$550 9-11%
250-270 Wellington (Icon I & II) $500-$550 9-11%

We know that the Entertainment District has seen incredible returns over the last few years with appreciation rates hovering around the 10% per year mark.  The building on 21 Nelson (Boutique) is located very nearby, and was also developed by Urban Capital which gives us a very good comparable.

RENTAL MARKET

The Rental Market in the Entertainment District is still finding it's feet a little.  While some established neighbourhoods are beginning to see upwards of $3.00 per square foot for rent per month, the Entertainment District is still sitting around the $2.50 mark depending on the building.  

Type Rent
Studio $1150-$1250
1 Bedroom $1250-$1600
1+1 Bedroom $1600-$2000
2 Bedroom $2000+ (Note: Boutique  has some suites at $1600-$2000)

The numbers above are an average of the resale developments listed in the previous section and are there to give you an idea of the rental market as of today.

    You just reassured me that I did an ok purchase at Tableau. Its my first investment downtown.
    I have purchased in Mississauga and Etobicoke. I have been working for a highrise developer for ten years and feel I haven’t done enough investing in real estate and now trying to play catch-up. When i worked on Grenadier Landing on the lake I thougth I missed the boat since I missed the launch – missing the boat was not acting at all. Its never to late to buy just the timing in the project is everything. I agree.

      I’m glad we can help! It amazes me how many people do the research AFTER they purchase and not before! It always pays to use a real estate agent you trust :)

      Congratulations on your investment!
