Charlie West (Charles & Gaukel) | 31 fl | Complete
(08-11-2020, 07:11 PM)taylortbb Wrote: Charlie West is starting at $0.45/ft/month, which includes a total of $89k/year for concierge services. Doesn't seem like enough for 24/7 coverage, though I believe lots of the concierge services have additional fees, so maybe the company is expecting revenue other than the main contract.

In addition to the essentials, the fees include water (including hot water), central heating/cooling, and internet for every unit. So I expect the fees will go up, but it seems like reasonable value for money (that's a lot of the essential utility costs covered).

If it includes water/heat/ac and the Internetz, that's a great deal. I imagine when it comes to the webz, Rogers or Bell may have provided a really good deal. An offer they couldn't refuse. So even if it's 1000SF, which I assume they include the patio, $450 provides you all that. As it stands, I probably average close to $400 for all that per month in my semi. Mind you, we have 4 peeps here. Water is the killer. I wonder if they have some sort of reclamation of certain types of water to minimize water costs. Toilet water, for example, doesn't need to be potable. Neither does laundry water.

I mean, something like that, it might give a lot of people something to think about. My friend lives in a condo apartment and pays close to $500 for fees. Only includes water. He has electric heating. Probably doesn't help that it's a low rise (3 floors).
