When we started out with BloorCondos.com, our goal was to cover the changing look of the Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood.  With developments like Crystal Blu and Uptown racing to the top of the skyline, there’s always new content to cover!  For this post we took to the streets and looked waaay up to capture the two elegant condo developments as they near completion!

Contact us for more information on either Uptown or Crystal Blu!

As the Toronto sky line evolves, living 50+ floors above the City, is becoming more of the norm.  A few years back, being on the 35 th floor was like being on top of it all!  With the introduction of Aura Condos at 75 floors, Shangri-La Toronto at 66, and Number One Bloor at 65 we’re constantly pushing the boundaries to how high we can live.  It’s often hard to visually understand what being on the 50th floor actually looks like!

Earlier in the week we had the chance to take in the views from The Residences at The Ritz Carlton Toronto.  It was a breathtaking experince to see how beautiful the City looks from so high up!  Check out more photos below:

Although February was a short month…you wouldn’t be able to tell by condo sales in the Bloor-Yorkville area! For the second month in a row the number of sales outperformed the same time period a year before. In 2009 we had only 12 sales as opposed to the 20 in 2010, an increase of 66%!

2 bedroom units were once again the most popular layout resulting in 8 sales! With the exception of the 3 bedroom layout, every other type sold for at least full asking price (on average). Though the stats and figures are important, interpreting the market is key. Based on February’s numbers the point is simple…now is a perfect time to sell!
