If you take a stroll through the City of Toronto, it’s impossible not to notice a plethora of cranes and construction sites. New developments are underway everywhere and many of them are condos! With incredible amenities, a variety of floor plans available and access to transit and all our city has to offer, condo living in a new development offers a lifestyle filled with ease, security and convenience. From urban professionals and young families to empty nesters and those who travel and are rarely home, the condo lifestyle appeals to many, it’s just a matter of finding a building and unit that are the right fit. With this in mind, we recently did a deep dive into three new developments that we believe are worth exploring, whether you’re looking for a condo to live in, or for investment purposes…

Want to learn more or have questions about another proposed development? Purchasing pre-construction is a different process than a traditional resale purchase and we always caution clients against dealing directly with a developer’s sales team. Having your own agent by your side ensures that your personal needs are met. With decades of experience as a team, we can ask all the necessary questions on your behalf to ensure your best interests are looked after.
