Bridge House at Brightwater

Brightwater is a partnership of four of Canada's most respected developers — Kilmer Group, Dream, DiamondCorp and Fram + Slokker — redeveloping Port Credit's former refinery lands into a complete waterfront community. Bridge House is one of its signature buildings.

Buying pre-construction in Ontario follows a familiar path. Interested buyers usually register early for a project, which can provide first access to floor plans, pricing and unit selection before a broader public release. Getting in early in a release can matter, since layouts and preferred exposures often move quickly.

Deposits on new condominiums are typically staged over time rather than paid all at once, with instalments tied to milestones set by the builder. In Ontario, new condominium purchases also come with a 10-day cooling-off period after signing, during which a buyer can review the agreement and disclosure materials with a lawyer and cancel if needed.

With condos, there is often a period of interim occupancy — when you can move in and pay an occupancy fee — before final closing, when title transfers and your mortgage begins. Specific deposit amounts, fees and dates for this project will be confirmed by the builder.
