If you've actually gone to the Cosmo presentation center and seen the unit on display, it would be very difficult to disagree with me. Its a simple case of making the wrong decision on what floor plan to showcase. In any case, I still wouldn't buy in Cosmo for the hike in parking price, the terrible kitchen layouts and finishings (the dishwasher is about the size of a duffel bag) and the fact that people would be living a less than desirable area of downtown Vancouver. Also, if dollar per square footage is the only concern, then why not buy used? You could really make that 3-year argument for anything out there right now.

I wouldn't want you as a neighbour anyway. Cosmo by far is the best value out there in the market. Avg sq/ft is under $500 where are you going to find that in DT right now? I looked at Richards but when you compare there finishing, location and size to Cosmo + the parking stall - Cosmo still is a better value. Btw, 3 yrs is when Cosmo will be ready and you pay installments of 10%, 5%, 2.5% % 2.5% by the time you take possession it probably would have gone up 10%+. Oh they also throw in 1 yr of free strata fee which equals 3k good riddance… I wouldn’t want you as a neighbour anyway. Cosmo by far is the best value out there in the market.
