The Wellington at Island Park - New Ottawa Condominium Development

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Wellington Village will be getting another cool condominium project added to its roster. The Wellington at Island Park will be a 6 floor mixed use condominium development with some smaller commercial spaces on the ground floor. Being built by Theberge Homes and designed by Barry J. Hobin & Associates, the building will certainly add some nice character to the area. Take a look below to see the first rendering of the building, and below the current corner of Wellington st. and Carleton st. where the building will be built.

From the website:

“Intimate in size, contemporary in design, revered in location, The Wellington at Island Park projects refinement, sophistication and creativity unequaled in boutique-inspired luxury condo living.

Sleek lines and harmonious proportions exude confidence in every facet of the Wellington’s bold and chic interior designs. Reminiscent of a boutique luxury hotel, the Wellington at Island Park offers upscale amenities, rich finishes and exceptional comforts that leave nothing to the imagination.

Located in Ottawa’s thriving Wellington Village, The Wellington at Island Park rests mere steps away from upscale shops, restaurants, boutiques and entertainment. Architecturally inspired and designed by award wining architect, Barry Hobin, The Wellington at Island Park defines a new standard for Ottawa’s elite urban condominium residences.”

Is An Ottawa Condo A Good Investment?

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

This morning a great article was published in the Globe and Mail that touches on a couple important subjects that every first time condo buyer should think about before purchasing your first condo.

The writer speaks about how condo buyers are allowing emotions to get the best and are not fully prepared for condo ownership. They see short commutes, no maintenance, and the lifestyle that developers are selling, before fully doing the math.

The buyers ‘ass’u'me’ that it is cheaper to live in a condo since you only pay one fee per month and wont have to pay for a furnace, roof or any of the other costs that can suddenly pop-up. But the writer explains that you might still have unexpected expenses that the reserve fund cannot cover and will have to reach out to the unit owners for additional funds. The writer gives some pretty extreme examples, but still very important.

Good little article that might take the wind out of your sail, but rightly so, you should be financially ready to own a home. The last thing I would want to do is help you sell because you cannot afford to live in your dream home.

Do you agree with me/the writer? Do you disagree? Tell me in the comments below or call me 613-286-9501 or email Matt@MattRichling.com.
