INTRODUCING THE CHARLES A natural choice in Charleswood If you've been waiting for a chance to own a brand- new condominium in Charleswood, that day has finally arrived. Construction is underway on the first phase of StreetSide Developments' four-storey apartment-style condo building, The Charles, which features one- and two-bedroom units ranging from 605 to 1,106 square feet. Meeting the needs of every budget, prices start at $191,900 and go up to $317,900, with the first possessions slated for late 2017. "THE CHARLES IS IDEAL FOR A MIX OF BUYERS. AS A LOCAL BUILDER, WE UNDERSTAND THAT CHARLESWOOD IS UNDERSERVED FOR FIRST-TIME BUYERS TO GET INTO THE MARKET, SO WE SAW THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY," SAYS BRENLEE COATES, MARKETING COORDINATOR FOR STREETSIDE DEVELOPMENTS. "It's also a convenient option for people who are looking to downsize. A lot of interest is coming from Charleswood residents who are wanting to stay in the area." Nestled in a niche at 545 Dale Blvd., The Charles reflects the neighbourhood's natural landscape with its own enclosed common green space, an outdoor oasis residents can enjoy at their leisure. StreetSide Developments P R O F I L E "We're certainly seeing the demand for common spaces like the green space at The Charles," Coates says. "We know people want green space in their lives and they want to get outside, so that's something unique to this project." Heated underground parking and private balconies included with all suites are also major draws. And on-site amenities include an exercise room and lounge room to socialize with neighbours or just relax with family and friends. Out and about, residents can easily stroll to the nearby grocery store, bank, pharmacy and restaurants. An outdoor pool, playground and yoga studio are also within walking distance, making it easy to maintain an active lifestyle. StreetSide is unveiling a display suite at The Charles for the Fall Parade of Homes, showcasing The Dale I floor plan. This 701-square-foot design features two bedrooms and one bathroom. "IT'S A VERY OPEN CONCEPT LAYOUT WITH A GALLEY- STYLE KITCHEN, WHICH HAS PROVEN TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO MAXIMIZE SPACE, WITH A NICE LONG ISLAND AND LOTS OF COUNTER SPACE TO PREPARE MEALS," COATES SAYS. "The Dale display will be a perfect showcase of just how much living space you can pack into 700 square feet. It's stacked with kitchen storage and functionality for dining and lounging purposes and we're very excited to offer the first opportunity to see it during the Fall Parade of Homes."
