  You’ve stuffed every date with bacon flavored cream cheese, placed pink and silver balloons just outside your front door and yesterday you spent the day decorating the common terrace of your condo building with metallic pots filled with pink and white pansies.

We found that our condo was much ...

  The Residential Construction Council of Ontario (RESCON), the non-profit association that represents 200 of Ontario’s residential builders, and the University of Toronto’s Tall Research Group, have just released a new report which details condo development trends in Toronto over the last decade.
