SEATTLE
“I remember selling new condominiums more than a decade ago when consumers
couldn’t comprehend the impact of the South Lake Union Streetcar or the planned
growth of the area,” adds McAvoy. “Fast-forward to today and the northern migration of
downtown Seattle is in clear view, with billions of dollars of capital investment building
a city within a city—it’s all very exciting and soon, hundreds of NEXUS homebuyers will
own an interest in this growth while enjoying a convenient and walkable urban life-
style.”
Presales have become more popular in Seattle in recent years, allowing a prospective
buyer to secure a new home several years before occupancy—locking in preferred
pricing and personalizing the interiors. McAvoy says the remaining homes at NEXUS
will be particularly attractive to move-up buyers that are seeking the next generation
condominium, or downsizing empty-nesters exploring city living for convenient “lock
and leave” lifestyles.
“The remaining collection at NEXUS presents our largest home plans, including pent-
houses and Skylofts, with premier specifications and commanding views,” adds Billy
Mainguy, Vice President of Strategy for Burrard. “We feel reintroducing these homes
for presales now will stand out in the marketplace with inherent advantages—we offer
homebuyers enviable market timing, ample parking, and competitive pricing compared
to our peer group. We also want to provide new homebuyers with sufficient time to sell
a home, if necessary, and move into NEXUS later this year.”
