Toronto's Unstoppable Condos

Festival Tower Condos Toronto


Toronto's Condominium market shows no signs of stopping, let alone slowing down.

These new Toronto Condos begin with a sign on a property:
  1. A great Condo sales office appears
  2. A fence is erected
  3. Digging starts along with the installation of big crane
  4. The new Condo appears at street level
  5. It zooms upwards
  6. Glass windows appear
  7. Topped off, the building cranes disappear
  8. Residents move in
  9. The Condo is finally registered
  10. Its over now only to start again quickly

According to Urbanation, a Market research firm, 16,000 new Condos are expected for the Toronto Census Area with 5.500 of these to be constructed in the downtown core.

Younger buyers, first-time buyers, empty nesters and second-time Condominium buyers are fuelling the Condo purchases.
With the positive state of the Canadian Economy investors are also driving the Condo market in Toronto to the the tune of 40-60 per cent in the downtown core.

The current average price for a new Toronto condo is between $500 to $600 per square foot.

The new waterfront neighbourhood of East Bayfront will provide not only new Condos but commercial and retail development.
Pictured above is the new Festival Tower Condos for sale or rent in the Toronto Entertainment District.
