Toronto condo starts for the first six months of 2011 are 70% higher than the same period in 2010. Toronto accounts for a disproportionately high percentage of Ontario home starts, and one reason is the strength of the financial sector.

Due to the strength of the Canadian banking sector, Toronto did not have the losses of employment that would have caused a sharp increase in office vacancy rates.

The city also decided to promote residential towers mixed in with offices, retail and entertainment in the downtown core. As a result, empty-nesters are selling their suburban bungalows and buying condos. An influx of immigrants and investors from Asia is also spurring demand for condos.

Carrick analyzes the latest condo numbers in the context of other factors affecting construction in Toronto, including the resurgent automotive industry and the 2015 Pan Am games.
