Burquitlam was a ghetto and still is.
It just went from property managed lowrises to money parkers and speculators fine dining on the backs of migrants / gangbangers who now fill all these 'LuXUrY BUilDs'.
Hell, in my condo, the only time I hear English is when I'm talking to myself. Mostly Mexican labour who are probably building the new towers that are going all around (I base this on their construction attire
). I don't see as many Asians anymore which is sad because this building doesn't have a 4th floor. It was MADE FOR THEM!
I lived here for 6 years and never would I pay these prices. A unit on my floor just sold for $1000 / sq ft. Keep in mind this building is 9 years old now and was the first building to go up in the area. Imagine 9 solid years of ground pouncing all around you as new towers go up and you would still pay $1000 / sq ft.
I can't post videos but there's entire blocks of vacant houses nearby that have yet to be transformed. Researching the build names, they all hit delay after delay so it just looks like movie sets from a post-apoc film. The sites are so vacant, the banners and propsal renders have either torn off or fallen over
I would get chastised for calling out these 'stir-crazy builds' 9 years ago and now people are catching on? First Galileo and now me
BTW Uptown presale started at $258k which is what they are objectively worth now. WHY THE FUCK would I want to pay over twice that with all the added fun features of increased strata, taxes and insurance pricing?
Rent & Invest. Get something better as prices fall.
