New Development in Vancouver: Jacobsen
Today was the REALTOR preview for the Jacobsen project that is going to be built on E. 2nd Ave just east of Main St. The real estate community was out in full force which either means that the developement is going to be a big hit or there was an open bar and free food. Well, there was an open bar and an espresso stand AND free food. You'd not get as big a crowd to give away free ....well you know ..... down the road at Main and Hastings.
Anyway, these are long and skinny condos in the modern loft style. Shiny white cabinets and Boosch appliances. Bedroom are inset in to the unit and open with large sliding panels (doors) to allow in light (in most of the one bedroom plans the bedroom had now window of its own. One thing that is new here is that there are some 3 bedroom plans available. As well some suites have huge outdoor space and those facing E 2nd and its street noise have nice views to the north shore mountains and the downtown skyline. Prices range from $229,000 + for studios, $275,000+ for one bedrooms, $377,000+ for one and dens, $529,000+ for two bedrooms and 2 and dens, and $685,000+ for the penthouses. All prices are non-negoitiable and exclusive of GST.
