A planned condo development in downtown Toronto, initially approved for 39 storeys, might become even taller after its developer, Devron Developments, applied to add 11 more floors. The project, located at 101 Spadina Avenue, features a unique brick-clad design with arches, inspired by the surrounding architecture. Despite a slowdown in the condo market, Devron is confident in future demand and aims to increase the tower's height to 50 storeys, adding 77 more units and a rooftop terrace with panoramic city views. The development also includes public benefits like a new park, a pedestrian walkway, and an underground parking lot.
A large-scale condo development planned for a busy downtown Toronto intersection could rise even taller following an application from the project's developer to add several storeys to the plan.
Sales for 101 Spadina launched back in April, 2024, and the development is now reportedly 28 per cent sold. What was previously a 39-storey plan has now been upped to 50 storeys, outlined in an application seeking a zoning bylaw amendment tabled in early 2025. The building's exterior expression has been retained from previous plans, with a planning document explaining that the updated plan "continues to reference the scale and detailing of nearby heritage buildings, in the form of a contemporary, contextually-appropriate tall building."

Toronto Condo Sales Plunge to 1996 Lows as Investor Demand EvaporatesSales of new condo units in Toronto have plummeted to their lowest point since 1996, marking a historic shift in the city's real estate market. The decline, fueled by a pullback from individual investors who have long driven condo purchases, highlights the impact of falling rents and rising interest rates. Transactions of new condos in Toronto fell 64% in 2024, with only 10% of units launched for presale in the last quarter of the year finding buyers.
