Chris Nobes was driving to work in Brampton and saw the sign for Daniels FirstHome Sunny Meadow, The Daniels Corporation’s newest community of fully-built condominium walk-up and back-to-back townhomes designed specifically for first-time homebuyers. He had heard about the community from a friend and decided to register.“I had saved enough money to consider buying and I was happy to get an invitation to the Preview Event. Once I saw what Daniels was offering, I realized what a great opportunity it was.”

Situated at Sunny Meadow Boulevard and Sandalwood Parkway, Daniels FirstHome Sunny Meadow is close to where Nobes lives and only minutes to where he works as an IT coordinator in Mississauga. He already knows the area well and appreciates the community’s proximity to parks, schools, Professor’s Lake and quick access to Highway 410.The turnout for the Preview Event was phenomenal, especially as Daniels pre-builds its FirstHome Communities before going on sale.“I waited in line, and I have to say everyone was very nice, including the Daniels sales staff,” he says.Nobes and the other registrants were able to tour a model of each design before deciding, plus buyers can move in within 60, 90 and 120 days. “It helped 100 per cent to walk through the models and to know for sure the space will work for what I want.”Nobes fell in love with the one-bedroom model because of its open concept layout. “I got on the waiting list for it and when they called to say I could buy it, I answered ‘Let’s do this!’ ” he said.Nobes is looking forward to moving into his home this summer. “It gives me time to get my finances in order and look around at furniture.”He was also delighted with the care the Daniels team took in explaining everything about the home purchase to him. “They made it all clear, and without any pressure. They actually made buying easy.”Daniels enables first-time buyers to purchase with only 5 per cent down. Through its unique Gradual Deposit Payment Plan, purchasers are required to pay only $3,000 with the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, another $3,000 within 10 days of the purchase and then $1,000 every month until they reach 5 per cent of the purchase price or final closing. Daniels also works with financial institutions to cap the mortgage rate, making qualifying for a mortgage more accessible, and helping to keep overall monthly carrying costs low.Named the 2016 Ontario Highrise Builder of the Year at the Tarion Homeowners’ Choice Awards, The Daniels Corporation is one of Canada’s preeminent builder/developers, building more than 26,000 new homes across the GTA for over 34 years.
