Big City Housing for Young Professionals

Jul 15, 2015

Big City housing for young professionals Looking for opportunities to invest or do you want to buy affordable urban housing? There seems to be a new trend in Big City housing for young professionals. Check out this article from Canadian Real Estate Wealth.

 

The big new thing is small

 

A Canadian developer says it has seen increased interest in its micro-condos as first-time buyers and young professionals seek affordable housing options.

 

Reliance Properties has been building more of the small units in British Columbia, following the well-established trend for compact living in in New York and London.

 

The company’s president Jon Stovell told Metro News that millennials in particular get the benefit of a smaller living space balanced against the proximity to downtown.

 

“The main amenity is the city itself,” he said. “It’s a 300-square-foot condominium with a three-million-square-foot living room.”

 

Meanwhile, the Carrington Group recently launched its Vibe condos in Edmonton; despite concern over how well they would sell, the small units have proved a hit.
