Toronto was once known as a "city of cranes". "Lots of buildings are finishing now" and "there may be fewer new condos later" can both be true at the same time.
Buildings completing today reflect development decisions made several years ago. Construction starting today shapes how much new supply arrives in the years ahead.
156 condo units started construction in the City of Toronto in the first half of 2026
Units, not buildings, and the City of Toronto, not the whole GTA
What it does and doesn't mean
Lower starts affect future supply with a delay, but they do not guarantee higher prices. Demand, purchasing power and the broader economy still matter.
