Northvale

The ground under it was tendered in 1994. Both ends of that are public; nobody puts them together.

What the land cost and what a unit sells for are not two ends of one sum. Between them sit construction over a multi-year build, financing, the development charge, marketing and agent commissions, GST, and the cost of holding unsold units. None of those is published for a named project, so this site does not estimate a developer’s cost or margin and no figure here should be read as one.

The two ends of this page are not two ends of one sum. Between the tender and the first unit sold sit construction over a multi-year build, financing, the development charge, marketing and agent commissions, GST, and the cost of holding unsold stock. None of those is published for a named project, so nothing here estimates a developer’s cost or margin and no figure on this page should be read as one. Why that is refused.
