$/sq. ft. = $558
1 bedrooms - there seems to only be 2 styles, one is 609 sq. ft. (starting from $261,400) and the other 680 (starting at $266,600).
$/sq. ft. = $429 and $392
1 + Dens - there also seems to be only 2 styles, one 694 sq. ft. (starting from $304,800), and the other 683 (starting from $274,600).
$/sq. ft. = $439 and 402
2 bedrooms - there are 4 layouts, the smallest is 818 sq. ft. (starting from $338,800) and the biggest is 1065 sq. ft. (starting from $414,500).
$/sq. ft. = $414 and $389
2 bdrm + den - again, 2 different layouts; 1151 sq. ft. (starting from $471,000) and 1120 sq. ft. (starting from $447,100).
$/sq. ft. = $409 and $399
There are penthouses too, but price/square foot isn't a fair way of comparing them.
So all in all, a VERY competitive price/sq. ft. and their spec wasn't bad either. Better than what Hom offered, not quite as good at Soho, but considering the price - it's a very good value.
As for location, I would argue that this location is superior to Icon. Whether the parking garage entrance is on Carling or Preston, either street is going to be a severe pain in the you-know-what to enter/exit. Domicile's project isn't on Preston, but it's a short walk and there are more stores/shops being opened on Rochester and Beech.

Good analysis. You can't really think that this is a better location than Icon though? Icon is right on Preston, closer to the O Train stop and the southside has a guaranteed unimpeded view of the lake.
I mean what is a better location 200 Rideau etc towers or 700 Sussex or 90 George? After all 200 Rideau is still close to the market and the parking garage is more accessible.
