7 h. ago No one is building condos in Toronto anymore as market hits 20

Almost every piece of data that has emerged about Toronto real estate in the last year-plus has served as a disheartening blow to anyone with a stake in the market, as the city's once-scorching sector has slowed to a crawl — and keeps waning further.The latest analysis, published by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) on Monday, reinforces that the country's new condo market specifically is in a state of deep turmoil, especially in locales like Toronto and Vancouver, where the housing type has long been a boon to investors.The national housing agency says that as of May, housing starts nationwide have fallen slightly from this time last year, mostly driven by "weak condominium market conditions" in both Toronto and Vancouver that have pulled the stats for these hubs down drastically below this national average.The west coast city broke ground on 10 per cent fewer homes over the co...

Toronto's first-ever suburban shopping plaza is destined for demolition after over seven decades at the Bathurst and Lawrence intersection.Conceptual plans to redevelop the Lawrence Plaza property at 534 Lawrence Ave W. first emerged earlier this year, and the push to demolish the plaza has since taken a big step forward with the submission of a formal planning application with the City of Toronto.Developer RioCan has entered into a joint venture with property owner the Milestone Group with hopes to transform the site — which has hosted a shopping centre since 1953 — into a new mixed-use community that would introduce significant residential density while preserving the site's importance as a retail centre.The project team announced in March that it has begun working on a "vision to reimagine Lawrence Plaza as a vibrant mixed-use community that celebrates its history and context."Locals got their first glimpse at preliminary concept plans for the redeve...
