Most Asked Before Booking a Showing
1.
Questions about construction, occupancy, showings, and move-in timing.
Marbella was completed in 2024 and is fully constructed, occupied, and operational. This is not a pre-construction project or a rendering.
Yes. Residents have been moving in since 2024. Marbella is a fully operational condominium community with people already living in the building today.
Yes, absolutely. All showings are by appointment. You'll see the common areas, a residence comparable to what you're considering, and the building as it actually operates day to day. It's the best way to understand how Marbella feels in real life.
John, the sales representative for Marbella, handles showings directly. Call or text to arrange a time.
Closing is typically 30 to 60 days from a firm offer, depending on the residence and your timing. If you need a faster closing, let us know – in some situations the timeline can be compressed.
2.
Amenities, accessibility, building quality, and what's nearby.
Marbella is located at 7549 Kalar Road, Niagara Falls, Ontario L2H 3W6. The building is close to the QEW, shopping, healthcare, schools, and the Niagara Falls core, while still sitting within an established residential neighbourhood. Getting around is easy – the QEW connects you to the wider Niagara region, and the nearby Niagara GO Station links to the Lakeshore West line, with trains through to Union Station in Toronto. The U.S. border, Buffalo-Niagara Airport, and the Falls themselves are all a short drive away.
For specific drive times, nearby amenities, or neighbourhood context, John, the sales representative for Marbella, is happy to walk you through it directly.
Yes – accessibility was part of how Marbella was built, not an afterthought. The building offers a barrier-free main entrance, elevator access to all residential floors, and accessible parking, so the shared spaces are designed to be navigated comfortably by everyone who lives here.
Because accessibility needs are personal – what works for one person isn’t what another needs – the best step is to tell us what matters to you when you book your showing. We’ll focus the tour on the residences and layouts that genuinely fit, so you’re not guessing. John, the sales representative for Marbella, is glad to talk it through beforehand, at whatever level of detail is helpful.
Marbella is built with a full precast concrete structure – concrete floors and demising walls between residences, rather than wood-frame or steel-stud construction. Concrete is one of the things that gives a building its solid feel underfoot and between units.
The best way to judge it is in person: during your showing, you'll experience how the building actually feels day to day.
Marbella’s amenities are complete and in use today – not planned or under construction. The building offers a landscaped central courtyard, underground parking, and a range of indoor and outdoor spaces for residents.

To see the amenity spaces in person, John, the sales representative for Marbella, can arrange a walkthrough as part of your showing.
3.
Condo fees, reserve fund, Tarion warranty, status certificates, and more.
Yes. Marbella is a registered condominium corporation in Ontario. Each residence is individually deeded and sold with the protections and responsibilities of Ontario condominium ownership.
The condominium declaration, description, and bylaws are available during due diligence.
Condo fees are consistent across all residences and cover wifi, building insurance, common-area maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, garbage removal, interior cleaning, and reserve fund contributions.
Suite utilities and property taxes are separate and individually metered where applicable. John can provide the current fee schedule for any specific residence.
Marbella's financial position is documented in the materials every buyer reviews during due diligence – audited financial statements, the reserve fund study, the operating budget, and the status certificate. These set out the reserve fund, the operating position, and any special assessments or planned capital work.
We make these available early rather than late. Your lawyer reviews them with you before your purchase becomes firm, so you're working from the same documents we are.
Every Marbella residence is covered by the Tarion new home warranty, which provides protection at one-year, two-year, and seven-year levels – covering workmanship and materials in the first year, broader defects through the second, and major structural defects for seven.
For the condominium corporation's specifics – fees, reserve fund, any special assessments, and insurance – you can order a status certificate through the corporation, which gives a current snapshot. Your offer can be made conditional on your lawyer's review of it during due diligence.
4.
Pricing, financing, closing process, costs, and your professional team.
One-bedroom residences start from the mid-$400s and two-bedroom residences from the mid-$500s. Final pricing on a specific residence depends on size, floor, exposure, and finishes – John, the sales representative for Marbella, can walk you through current availability and exact pricing.
Our pricing is intended to reflect the actual value of each residence – not inflated to create room for haggling, and not discounted to create artificial urgency.
Reasonable offers are considered during the due diligence process. If you have a specific residence and a specific number in mind, the conversation is worth having.
Financing structures depend on the buyer, the residence, and timing. Some flexibility may be available in specific situations, but these conversations are handled individually rather than through a standard package.
Each residence includes one assigned parking space and a storage locker – same-floor for most suites; some ground-floor suites’ lockers are located in the secure underground.
Kitchens feature German-engineered cabinetry and a fully integrated appliance package sized appropriately to the residence.
Residences up to 1,200 sq ft include:
Residences 1,200 sq ft and larger include:
Laundry is provided through an LG self-venting stacked washer and dryer system. Bathrooms feature Caesarstone countertops.
Window coverings are not included.
Each residence was completed within one of Marbella's established interior finish palettes. Finishes are assigned per residence rather than selected individually, meaning the palette is part of the home you tour and purchase. Your exact inclusions, finishes, and specifications are confirmed in writing during the offer process, and all finishes can be viewed during your showing.
The typical purchase flow is:
Your lawyer manages the legal side of the transaction, while John, the sales representative for Marbella, remains available throughout the process to coordinate and answer practical questions.
Typical Ontario condominium closing costs may include legal fees, land transfer tax, title insurance, Tarion enrolment fees where applicable, utility adjustments, and prepaid condominium fees.
Your lawyer will provide a full closing-cost estimate before your purchase becomes firm.
A lawyer is required for closing. Your lawyer reviews the condominium documents, manages title transfer, and completes the legal closing process.
Working with a realtor is optional. You're welcome to work with your own representative or engage directly with Marbella's sales team through Woolcott Real Estate, RE/MAX Escarpment Realty Inc., Brokerage.
Yes. Status certificates and condominium documents are typically made available during the offer and due diligence process. Your lawyer will review the materials with you before your purchase becomes firm.
Yes. As the owner, you arrange a condominium homeowner's policy covering your unit's contents and improvements – the corporation's master insurance covers the building and common elements, but not what's inside your residence. For higher-value items such as jewellery, art, or furniture, additional coverage is available from most insurers.
It's worth keeping a current inventory of your belongings and their replacement value. Your lawyer and insurer can confirm exactly what you need before closing.
5.
Rules, rentals, insurance, maintenance, and building management.
Marbella permits long-term rentals subject to the condominium declaration and rules. Short-term rental use may be restricted. If you're purchasing with an investment plan in mind, mention it during your showing so the applicable rules can be reviewed clearly.
Marbella residences can be resold through the standard Ontario MLS process. Owners retain full resale rights subject to the standard condominium procedures around status certificates and related closing documentation.
Marbella is a registered condominium corporation, governed by a board of directors under Ontario's Condominium Act. Like most newer condominiums, it is currently in the developer-control period, during which the corporation is managed by its principals with professional operational support.
As the community establishes and units sell, control of the board transitions to an owner-elected board through the process set out in the Act. Day-to-day property management is handled by a professional property management firm.
If anything changes materially, owners are informed directly.
6.
Eligibility, timelines, how the rebate works, and key considerations.
Marbella residences are expected to qualify under the legislation as currently written. Final eligibility is determined at closing, based on each buyer's circumstances and the program requirements in force at that time.
It depends on whether you're buying as an owner-occupier or an investor. Owner-occupiers may be able to assign the rebate to the builder at closing, so it reduces the amount payable then – if the program is in force when you close. Investors generally pay the HST at closing and apply for a rental rebate afterward, which requires proof the home has been rented (typically a one-year lease). Which path applies, and the amount, depend on your circumstances – your tax or legal advisor can confirm before you firm up.
There are two timelines. The enhanced rebate – the one that lifts the maximum toward $130,000 – applies to agreements of purchase and sale signed on or before March 31, 2027. A separate first-time-buyer stream runs to December 31, 2030. The gate is the signed agreement date, not the closing date. Because timing and eligibility turn on your circumstances, confirm the current deadlines with your advisor.
Investors may be eligible, but the path differs from owner-occupiers: investors generally pay HST at closing and apply for a rental rebate afterward, rather than receiving it as a reduction at closing. The rental rebate requires proof the home has been rented – typically a one-year lease. Eligibility and amount depend on the program's criteria and your circumstances. We'd recommend confirming with your own tax advisor.
Separate from Bill 114, Ontario has also proposed a broader rebate framework that may apply to additional purchasers if enacted. As of this writing, that proposal has not yet been passed into law.
