Downtown Toronto

Downtown Toronto contains the largest concentration of arts and cultural institutions in Canada. The ROM, AGO, TIFF Bell Lightbox, Roy Thomson Hall, Harbourfront Centre, and the St. Lawrence Market are all within a 15-minute walk of each other. The Financial District employs more people per acre than any comparable district in the country. King Street West between Spadina and Bathurst is one of the most vibrant restaurant and nightlife corridors in North America. The Distillery District, built in a preserved 19th-century Victorian industrial complex, draws visitors and residents in equal measure. The waterfront from Ontario Place to the Distillery is mid-transformation. The Island is a 15-minute ferry from the foot of Bay Street.

The condo market in downtown Toronto is soft. Inventory is elevated. Buyers have negotiating room they did not have 18 months ago. The detached and semi-detached market in pockets like Trinity Bellwoods, Little Portugal, and The Annex tells a different story. Supply is structurally constrained and demand from buyers who want the irreplaceable combination of walkability, transit, and character does not compress the way condo demand does. Mark knows which side of that average you should be on.
