Fighting back against a lack of consumer interest, a Canadian-based development company will be auctioning off a luxury condominium property in Tempe, Ariz.

“We just haven’t been seeing much movement in the marketplace,” says Cindy Robinson, marketing director for West-Star Communities, a division of WestStar Properties of Vancouver. “We’re optimistic that going the auction route will change that.”

Kennedy Wilson Auction Group of Beverly Hills will open bidding for 22 apartments at noon April 10. The auction will be held at the Fairmont Scottsdale at 7575 East Princess Dr. in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Kennedy Wilson president Rhett Winchell says starting bids will range from $85,000 to $205,000 US for one-, two-and three-bedroom residences.

A year ago, WestStone said prices for the suites ranged from $350,000 to $1.2 million. But in a more recent Kennedy Wilson news release about the auction, the residences were said to be “previously priced” from $238,000 to $725,000.

“Canadians love our properties and, as we expected, we are getting auction interest from Canadians,” says Robinson,

WestStone is the developer of Northshore, a 134-unit, five-storey apartment condominium complex set against the shoreline of Tempe Town Lake.

Northshore is a 134-unit gated community surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping. Each residence features dramatic nine-and 10-foot ceilings with panoramic picture windows.

Interiors are finished with deluxe ceramic tile and carpeting, designer lighting and a full-sized laundry room.

Kitchens come with energy-saving, stainless-steel appliances, granite slab countertops, maple cabinets with under-cabinet lighting, and a spacious pantry. Balconies have glass railings and a gas fireplace.

Common areas include a fully-equipped outside entertainment/ service bar as well as a community swimming pool, fitness centre and heated spa.

The building is horseshoe-shaped and focuses on the lake and a negative-edge pool in the courtyard with cabanas, water features and a private jacuzzi.

Luxury living is on sale at the project.

“We’ve found that auction satisfaction is a two-way street — buyers can save big-time with excellent deals on quality homes, while sellers can move millions of dollars worth of homes in a single day,” says Winchell.

CHECK IT OUT

Kennedy Wilson will host a How to Buy at Auction informational seminar at the Northshore Auction Information Office at 12 p.m. on Saturday, April 3 at 945 E. Playa Del Norte Dr. in Tempe, Ariz. It will allow potential bidders to become familiar with the auction process, review the auction’s terms and conditions, have questions answered and walk through the registration procedures. Registered bidders unable to attend the auction in person can still participate and bid online.

CIM Group’s Hancock Lofts Headed to Auction

Here’s your auction, WeHo. Fourteen of the 31 units at Hancock Lofts, that Koning Eizenberg-designed condo building on Santa Monica Blvd, will be available for auction on April 25th. Is anyone surprised that this building is headed to the auction? No, they are not. Run by auction company Kennedy Wilson, the auction will offer starting bids in the range of $395,000-$595,000. The remaining units will be available for sale, according to CIM principal John Given, and there’s no 50 percent “move-in” rule, so you could presumably buy your condo, pick up a salad at Tender Greens and move right in after you finally close. And they’ve created a whole new web site for the auction.
