The Daniels FirstHome program has been a huge selling point for the builder and includes a limited time offer to purchase with a 10 per cent deposit. The community is well under construction, with some model homes available for viewing.
Livabl spoke with Tiffany Wood, the vice president of the The Daniels Realty Corporation, about the FirstHome program and FirstHome Keelesdale.
What is the Daniels FirstHome program?
Daniels FirstHome is a highly sought-after program that provides tools and incentives that are designed to help make the purchase of a new home easier. What all of our FirstHome communities share in common is that we start construction before we go on sale, we offer an incredible deposit program, and we give new home buyers certainty in closing costs by putting a cap on these costs.
I have often been asked when I am at FirstHome events if you have to be a first-time buyer to buy at a Daniels FirstHome community. The answer is absolutely not. We have many first-time buyers in our FirstHome communities, but we also have move-up buyers, downsizers, young professionals and growing families who take advantage of the unique opportunity that is Daniels FirstHome.
Even for those who are new to the home buying process or are looking for a refresher, our team has the tools to educate you on all the intricacies of the home buying process to ensure you feel confident about your purchase.
Why do you think you had such an overwhelming response to the first two phases of Keelesdale?
One of the great qualities about FirstHome Keelesdale is that it’s a master-planned community that goes beyond our typical FirstHome program, and I think a lot of people recognized that in our first two phases.
The location alone is a major selling feature. It’s a six minute walk to the soon-to-be completed Eglinton LRT. Add in our deposit program, a variety of condominium suites and townhomes to choose from plus the community features like being nestled in a ravine setting, a new nature themed public park, a children’s playground, a walking trail and outdoor landscaped spaces. FirstHome Keelesdale also includes a 4,500 square-foot, two-storey community amenity pavilion with a fitness centre, co-working space, party room and pet wash. There’s also an outdoor entertainment zone with BBQs, dining areas, lounge seating and community gardening plots and a prep studio. It’s no wonder why our first two phases sold out so quickly.
What makes FirstHome Keelesdale truly unique?
What makes the third and final release of condominium suites and townhomes so special is that you will be purchasing in an already established community as occupancy is already under way in the first phase. You’re able to see the value right from the start, which can be a concern for many people who are buying pre-construction.
With FirstHome Keelesdale 3 already under construction you can see the vision for this community becoming more of a reality each and every day. Outside of that, FirstHome Keelesdale 3 offers condominium suites and townhomes with one-, two- and three-bedroom designs and modern features and finishes – so there really is a lot of variety in home types and sizes for you to choose from. And with prices starting from the high $500,000s, it’s no wonder the third and final release of homes in this community has already garnered such strong interest.
What kind of buyer would be interested in FirstHome Keelesdale?
This community has already appealed to a broad demographic of purchasers – we have witnessed growing families, young professionals, move-up buyers, retirees and downsizers all find something to call their own at FirstHome Keelesdale.
As a connected community with a range of local amenities that cater to everyone, it’s easy for anyone to see their future home here. This final phase is no different than the previous phases which truly makes it an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
What makes FirstHome Keelesdale a well-connected neighbourhood?
“Well-connected” at Keelesdale is about being connected to the city and its surrounding areas. The location of FirstHome Keelesdale makes traveling easy with major highways and the TTC close by. But being well-connected isn’t singular to getting outside of your location, it’s also about the connection to the things already around you.
At FirstHome Keelesdale, you are moments from diverse retail, restaurants, the Yorkdale Shopping Centre, schools, green spaces, cycling and walking trails, the Castlefield Design District and more. It’s unique to find value like the kind at FirstHome Keelesdale in locations just like this.
