U.S. Officials Say Iran’s New Supreme Leader Gravely Wounded Amid Escalating Conflict

Protesters hold posters of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son, Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, during a protest marking al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day), after Friday prayers at Fatih Mosque in Istanbul.

Condo market slump: GTA projects cancelled amid low demand


According to a report released today, The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is experiencing a slowdown in condominium sales, with builders shelving dozens of new condo projects due to low sales. The number of new condominiums started construction in the GTA has hit a 10-year low of 1,798 units, down 72% from the second quarter of 2022.


The report also suggests that rising interest rates and market uncertainty have contributed to the decline in sales. Urbanation’s Q3-2023 Condominium Market Survey reveals that the number of condos sold in the Toronto region failed to reach the 3,000 mark, with only 2,664 new condo units sold throughout the GTA during the third quarter of this year .


The report attributed the surge in cancellations to a combination of factors, including rising construction costs, supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, financing challenges, and changing consumer preferences. Urbanation's president, Shaun Hildebrand, said that the GTA condo market is undergoing a "major correction" and that developers are facing "unprecedented headwinds" in bringing their projects to completion.
