Questions About New Condos in Fashion District

If you move into your condo unit before the rest of the building is complete, this is what is known as the interim occupancy period, which lasts until the time when you are officially an owner (closing). The interim occupancy period can last up to six months, depending on the progress of construction. As the condominium is still undergoing construction, residents can occupy completed units at their discretion during this time. The homeowner is required to pay interim occupancy fees regardless of whether they move in during this period. Taxes, condominium fees, and interest charges on the remaining purchase price are included in the interim occupancy fee. Following the interim occupancy period, you will be informed of your final closing date. The final closing involves the transfer of ownership, and the building is then officially registered.

Buyers of pre-constructed properties may have to pay development charges. To pay for municipal infrastructure, development charges are imposed on new developments. Development charges are collected as part of the building permit process. The cost of the development will vary according to the city and municipality in which it is located. Development charges will also be determined by the type of property.
