Considering these condos will not be built until late 2016, it’s easy to see why many first-time homebuyers would overlook the opportunity that exists at The Metalworks. We all admit it, we live in a “gratification now” kind of world. We want what we want when we want it, and that is usually sooner rather than later. But hold on, let’s not be too hasty shall we? Over the next few weeks, we will take a closer look at what the total offering is at The Metalworks, and why I think this is nothing short of first-time buyer heaven.

Most buyers have saved up for months, or even years, to gain the downpayment required to purchase their first home. After all of that hard work and diligence, they would like to see some results, some quick results. A new condo purchase can present some difficulties in their minds. Put that deposit down now and move in next year? I don’t know if I can wait that long!

I understand their dilemma, but have invested some serious thought into the opportunities presented to a first time buyer, and they are plentiful and prosperous. I need to at least get the information out there to the marketplace. Also, there are different types of first-time homebuyers that don’t all fit the ‘usual’. I will delve into these different types of potential first-time homebuyers in later blogs. For now, I would like to introduce how this hip new condo development should appeal to the younger crowd; the twenty-something year olds who typically make up the first-time homebuyer market. The smart first-time buyers will continue to read on …

For the purposes of an introductory article to the topic, let’s just focus on something obvious, the lifestyle provided to you at The Metalworks.

The Metalworks offers a very unique and sustainable lifestyle experience, where everything you need is either on your doorstep, or mere steps away. A kind of village of its own in the heart of Guelph, its own sub-district of Downtown Guelph. The location offers an opportunity at a lifestyle that you just won’t find anywhere else. Urban, trendy, and completely convenient.

The units are designed to entertain. A luxurious feel with quality finishes usually reserved for only the most privileged of purchasers, certainly not first time buyers. Where else are you going to find granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, 8’6 ceilings, soaker tub,  spacious balconies and starting in the low 200’s? Don’t look around too hard, I can tell you right now the answer is nowhere.

The on-site amenities are truly amazing. A state-of-the-art fitness centre, convenient pet spa, an entertainment room with a gourmet kitchen/bar, BBQ areas, designated bike storage, underground parking, and over 2.5 acres of open green space. Retail spaces that will be appealing to businesses like cafes, bakeries and brew pubs. Now who wouldn’t want to live amongst all of this! Truly lifestyle-based living and definitely worth waiting for.

And if you feel like venturing downtown, well, you really couldn’t live any closer.

Stay tuned for part 2!
