the42 Condos in Waterloo

Have you see the42 Condos yet?

This mid rise condo development was just completed this year, and has a prominent Uptown Waterloo location at Bridgeport & Peppler.

Momentum Developments is getting a lot of love around Waterloo these days for the release of their new development, RED Condominiums, which debuted last night to a VIP crowd and proceeded to sell out half the building.

The residential condos were completed this summer, and the building was registered as a condo last month.  Once a condo building is registered, owners receive title (ownership) and can sell their units on the MLS if they wish.

the42 Condos Resale Prices

Since registration, two condos have sold at the42, and the prices bode very well for everyone who bought back in 2008 during pre-construction.

A 2 bedroom unit was just sold by a private owner, and it sold for $392 per square foot.

A second unit was sold, and it hit $400 a square foot.

the42 Condos have been a very good investment so far – the average price was under $300 per square foot when these were sold pre-construction.

PS – remember these great pics? They’re from a 2 bedroom + den at the42 owned by WonderfulWaterloo member Sampson

Feel like there is more natural light in this kitchen than most other?  You’re right.

The owner of this residence worked with the builder to customize the floorplan, moving the kitchen adjacent to the terrace and it’s wall of windows.  I think it looks terrific – and it’s unique.

Notice the low VOC bamboo floors, just one of the lower impact “green” options that Momentum Developments offered at the42.

How to Price a Kitchener Waterloo Apartment Building

Value of a Kitchener Waterloo Apartment Building


One of things I find myself talk to real estate investors about these days is how to value a Kitchener Waterloo Apartment Building.  Seems there are lots of people looking to acquire high quality apartment buildings, but there is small supply of these buildings for sale, especially when we start talking about more than 50 units.

Most owners are happy to hold their buildings now  – multi family real estate is a notoriously stable investment during good times and bad (and stable investments are held in higher regard during recessionary times), but buyers are eager to deploy their capital into a stable asset.

This spread between available supply and current demand makes it a great time to sell your Kitchener Waterloo apartment building; case in point, we have recently seen quality multi family investment properties come to market and receive multiple offers in the first few days.

How to Price a Kitchener Waterloo Apartment Building

If you were going to sell your Kitchener Waterloo Apartment Building, how would you price it?

Right now, there is a large difference in ‘per suite’ asking prices for comparable apartment buildings online, with several active multi-family listings being priced considerably higher than comparable recent sales.

(Note: there are some properties, like brand new buildings or luxury apartment buildings, that sell for outside the normal range. For example, see: Two Waterloo Region Apartment Buildings Sell For $45+ million)
