Concluding Statements From the Les Twarog Team: In closing we are confident that we can sell out the project within 4-6 weeks. You will be hiring a dedicated team of realtors that are knowledgeable with the market and the area Thank you for making available all the information that was supplied by Joey Sun and Sam Sit Evan though there is limited information on commercial strata sales in the area, there is virtually no supply and a fair amount of demand. We are of the opinion that the commercial units can achieve $650/foot. From Brent and Denean of the Arnold Real Estate Team: We thank you for the opportunity to discuss working with you for the sales and marketing of Yorkton Place. This proposal is a preliminary outline to create outstanding goal driven sales results. The Arnold Real Estate Team offers experience and a proven track record of successfully marketing and selling residential development projects with a constant and consistent emphasis on delivering results in the developer's best interest. We are very excited at the opportunity to work with you and look forward to discussing further on how our sales and marketing program can work for a successful sellout of this project.
