 Toronto’s Tallest Condos and Commercial Towers!
Toronto Condos (and commercial bldgs): here’s a great fun site I found who give us a clear graphical view of Toronto’s (and other metropolitans) tallest buildings.
Height of a tower, in our case, condo towers, can significantly affect the value of your investment. When looking into buying a condo in a tower, think of these issues:
1. How ihgh up do you want to live? if you’re afraid of heights, or want to be on a safe fire-department level, always stay on the 7th floor and below – b/c the fire ladder does not reach higher then seven floors – you didn’t know this, did ya.
2. How will your investment be affected? paying a premium for a higher floor does not necessarily mean automatic gains when you sell, or rent your place to a tenant. Consult a Realtor such as myself to get the whole picture of height vs. value issue.
3. Occupancy fees – the higher you are, the chances are that your occupancy fees will be lower. Why? b/c the builder moves residents in starting at the lowest floors, moving up. Your carrying costs for the place can be astronomical if you’re on a lower floor.
4. Final re-sale value – you’ve held to your investment for a few years and want to sell now. If your friend, who purchased an identical unit just sold, who you be able to get their price + the premium you paid per floor?
