Toronto’s (and maybe Canada’s) first development designed exclusively as “micro-condos,” Smart House makes living at an expensive location such as Queen and University affordable by delivering units that are small in size (as small as 276 square feet) but highly functional through smart design. Developed in partnership with Malibu Investments, Smart House looks critically at all the elements inside a condominium—from kitchens and bathrooms to storage—to make sure they are “right sized” and efficiently designed for smaller space.
Launched in October 2013, Smart House received an unprecedented amount of press for pushing the envelope in terms of units size and condo functionality. The market response to this new concept was exceptional, with over half of the units selling out immediately.
