Minto Midtown at Yonge and Eglinton

Quantum Condos
Going, back in the day to the beginning of the construction boom in Toronto, brings us to Minto Midtown at Yonge and Eglinton. Probably the very beginning of the construction boom in Toronto when these towers were originally proposed they were supposed to be over 200 meters tall. As you can guess, the community opposition was furious, and home owners and residents in the area battled the developer, for years, before a shovel was even put into the ground. Eventually though the developer concided and the tower was shorted to 165 meters or so, and when built, became along with 1 King West, the tallest towers built in Toronto in some time.





Toronto is Becoming a Compact and Sustainable City


Because of the Condo Boom, Toronto has become a more compact and intesively developed compact City. We have done this by the increased development of both condo and office space near subway lines, as has happened in North York Centre, Yonge and Eglinton, the Downtown Core and to a lesser extent, Consumers Road on the Sheppard Line and Scarborough, with Scarborough Town Centre.
