When it comes to living a lavish life of luxury in Ontario, Toronto is the pinnacle of opulence when it comes to real estate in the Canadian market. And when it comes to luxury real estate in one of Ontario’s busiest cities, it’s no surprise luxury condos and expensive penthouses top the list for the most sought-after properties in Toronto.<\/p>\n

But it isn’t the only market in Canada topping the charts. Vancouver also has some of the most expensive places to live, and the most beautiful. Choosing between Vancouver and Toronto can definitely be a challenge, so the question mainly comes down to: what type of aerial view do you like more?<\/p>\n

When it comes to stunning city views in Toronto, people immediately think of the CN Tower and the infamous Toronto skyline. An expensive penthouse condo in the heart of the downtown core is the best way for high-end big spenders to enjoy the city’s expensive property investments and capture some of the most stunning photos (for their Instagram, of course).<\/p>\n

The price of penthouse real estate in Toronto<\/b><\/h2>\n

To put things into perspective, the typical price of buying 1 bedroom condos is $679,182, whereas the price for one of Toronto’s most expensive penthouses is anywhere from $2 million to $15 million. Penthouses are more expensive than traditional housing options or regular condos since the square footage can be much more than other condos, and because, simply put, they’re luxurious!<\/p>\n

These luxurious penthouses also often come with walk-in closets, panoramic views, a wine cellar, the option of modern marble floors or traditional walnut hardwood flooring, and those classic floor-to-ceiling windows that define an expensive condo. These fanciful penthouses are also often in the hottest neighbourhoods in downtown Toronto and, as such, are some of the more expensive condos due to the location, square footage, and sheer size of the condo.<\/p>\n

Post-pandemic luxury penthouses<\/b><\/h2>\n

When it comes to looking for a more expensive penthouse in Toronto, it all comes down to the details. Most condos are offering virtual tours for their units with footage that showcases the individual features of each expensive condo. Property management websites are also offering photo slideshows in addition to video footage, for prospective property owners to get an idea of the place they’ll be buying without the need to attend in-person showings (due to COVID-19).<\/p>\n

These websites also report on the specific specs of the space including certain kitchen appliance models, the number of bathrooms and the number and size of bedrooms. The websites list the individual perks of purchasing their penthouse, which also make it easy to justify the price of living in a lavish, expensive condo in the downtown core of Toronto, especially with state-of-the-art amenities being included.<\/p>\n

With more real estate enthusiasts looking to the GTA for luxury property investments, it makes sense that buyers want to see the properties first-hand. The more the buyer is able to spend time in a penthouse and envision themselves living there, the more likely they’ll be to put their money where their mouth is and purchase one of the 10 most expensive condos that Toronto has to offer.<\/p>\n

Choosing your luxury condo<\/b><\/h2>\n

The price of a high-class penthouse can be daunting and cause more anxiety than excitement for some. But when it comes to buying in Toronto, buyers need to be realistic about the price of a property in the city in general. A penthouse isn’t a small investment that should be taken lightly. When it comes to purchasing a high-end penthouse, keep in mind which city views you’re looking for, which amenities you want to be near or have in your building, and how important the asking price of your penthouse is.<\/p>\n

Search through footage and any photo-based materials that come from property management companies as they’ll give you insight into the quality of your master suite. Ensure you have enough bathrooms and space for family and guests and think of what you plan on doing with your space in terms of interior design.<\/p>\n
