If you want to get a condo built fast, have a celebrity buy into it.
It looks like
Mark Wahlberg's
purchase of a
unit at
36 Hazelton has increased the rate of sales of the rest of the units by enough that ground is being broken this spring, ahead of its
most recent schedule.
Thirteen of the five-storey building's units have now been sold, leaving five remaining opportunities to be the
Entourage producer's neighbour. The condos range in size from 1,073 square feet to the penthouse, which
Wahlberg looked at but decided against, that will be 4,693 square feet.
The building, an expansion of the disused St. Basil’s Separate School, is being built by
Alterra and Zinc. It was designed by
Quadrangle, with
Holbrook and Associates as the landscaper.
