🧱 What was approved?

💵 What Does This Mean for Buyers?

For buyers, major building renewals are often an opportunity. Once complete, these upgrades typically improve comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term property value—especially relevant for those planning to own long-term.

Key considerations:

  • The levy is approved and payment begins July 1, 2026
  • You'll need to budget for either lump-sum payment or installments
  • Many buyers view this as an opportunity to purchase before improvements are complete, potentially benefiting from upgrades without paying the full market premium afterward
  • The work addresses deferred maintenance proactively rather than reactively

Many buyers view major renewals as an opportunity to purchase before improvements are complete, potentially benefiting from the upgrades without paying the full market premium afterward.

📉 What This Means for Sellers

If you're selling at 1010 or 1020 View Street, transparency is essential. The approved levy will impact your sale price—buyers are factoring these costs into their offers.

Seller strategies:

  • Disclose the levy details upfront to avoid surprises during negotiations
  • Price strategy should account for the outstanding assessment while highlighting the building's proactive maintenance approach
  • Position the upcoming improvements as a value-add for long-term buyers
  • Timing relative to installment dates is worth discussing with your agent

While market values may soften in the short term, well-priced listings with transparent communication can still sell successfully.

✅ What You Should Do

    • Work with a REALTOR® who knows the building
    • Review the approved special levy schedule and engineering reports
    • Budget accordingly – either for lump-sum payment or the installment structure
    • For buyers: Factor the levy into your purchase price negotiations
    • For sellers: Price competitively and disclose proactively
