With Toronto’s condo boom reaching an all-time high, developers and architects are working hard to ensure that each project offers something new and exciting, and stands out amongst the hundreds of condos in the city. As more designs are developed, we’re seeing condos reaching new heights and new levels of luxury to give buyers the ‘wow’ factor. There are many factors to take into account when you are looking to buy a condo: location, unit size, and amenities for example, however it is also important to consider the building developer.
