Modern building technologies allow for much larger windows than we saw in the condos of 20 years ago — and with views and natural light being such an attractive part of living in the sky, this is wonderful news for every suite owner. Developers work with the City of Toronto and surrounding municipalities to achieve the optimum height for their buildings, many of which include setbacks that minimize their street impact for pedestrians, and allow for things like rooftop gardens on podiums, or garden terraces for large suites. Open-concept main living areas, nine-foot and even higher ceilings, the elimination of hallways that eat up space, sliding barn doors that can open up rooms even more, beautiful linear kitchens that look like part of the furniture, movable islands — the list of design elements that make the most of every square foot is long and impressive. We have seen improvements and innovation in the heating and cooling of condominium buildings, such as Enwave Energy Corporation’s system that taps into the deep cold waters of Lake Ontario. read more
