One of the best parts of launching the Greystone Village community is getting to know all the happy new purchasers who will soon call this place home. Meet Matt Cassidy – a professional actor and producer. He and his wife Sarah have a 5-year-old son and are expecting a new baby this spring. Matt and Sarah previously lived in Toronto for 15 years working in the entertainment industry and moved back to Sarah’s hometown of Ottawa to continue their careers in musical theatre. We talked to Matt about the great promise he saw in the Greystone Village community and why he and his family are excited to call it home.
How did you first hear about Greystone Village?
My wife Sarah first heard about Greystone Village from her parents who read about the development in the Ottawa Citizen.
Why did you decide to purchase a home in Greystone Village?
Sarah and I have always wanted to live downtown. It has always been about location for us. To get the best location, we were even considering renting. After speaking with members of the Greystone Village team, I knew that our investment was in good hands. David Kardish, Tobin Kardish, Dave Wallace and the rest of the team have a grand vision for Greystone Village. They are creating a community. As an artist, actor and producer, I realized that Sarah and I could be active members in a new community just being born. Greystone Village is respecting the historic buildings on site as well as the gorgeous trees. With all the construction happening along Main St. right now, I can see the seeds being planted for a vibrant community filled with arts, food, culture, music…the list goes on and on. Sarah and I are proud to be a part of Greystone Village as first-time homebuyers.
What type of home did you purchase and why?
We bought a Townhouse because it is the perfect size for our young family.
What were the biggest factors in your decision?
The grand vision of the community and its perfect location. I love the neighbourhood. There are established businesses and great potential for growth. The location is perfect. Right downtown, and so close to the river and the canal. It is a perfect opportunity to be in on the ground floor of an amazing community and the location is second to none when it comes to new builds in Ottawa. Location, location, location.
What are you most looking forward to about living this new community?
I am very interested in seeing how the historic buildings in Greystone Village are re-purposed. I truly believe that the team behind Greystone Village are creating a community that will be the envy of Ottawa in years to come.
