The Best Penthouse in Toronto

The Toronto Real Estate market has been booming over the past several years. With the boom times we have started to see a new class of product enter the consumer marketplace - ultra luxury condos.

Condo living is still a relatively new idea to Torontonians, and up until very recently, condos were seen as something for young buyers, first timers, or people on a tight budget who can’t afford to buy a freehold house. Not any more. Condo living is now seen as a lifestyle of choice and the downtown core has exploded with some very exciting new condos catering to the very wealthy.

This is why I am very excited to introduce a new series of feature posts entitled “The Best Penthouse in Toronto“. The goal is for this to be the definitive online guide to the most prestigious condominiums in Canada’s biggest and most cosmopolitan city: Toronto.

Over the next several days I will be profiling some of Toronto’s most expensive condominium residences. These condos are built from top to bottom with the desires of the discerning clientele in mind. This guide will help determine what is truly The Best Penthouse in Toronto!.

Check back to my site in the coming days as I reveal details for the penthouse suites at the following buildings downtown:

Where is the Toronto Condo Market Heading?

I attended a very informative and interesting seminar last night at the Market Wharf sales office. The event was put on by Context (the developer behind Market Wharf, Spire, Radio City) and was billed as a ‘Buying a Condo Seminar’. It was open to anyone who is on Context’s marketing email list. Normally I avoid events like these like the plague because they are blatant bait-and-switch sales events designed to lure uneducated consumers into buying a condo at a development they know nothing about. However, this one offered something different and I’m glad I attended.
