Urban Capital started out with a 48-unit development called Camden Lofts back in 1996. That project, on dusty Camden Street in the Fashion District west of Toronto’s downtown, broke the mould of Toronto development. Urban living. Raw space. Cubic footage rather than square footage.
The Camden development was borne out of a belief that de-industrialized parts of our cities could come alive again as vibrant urban centres. That design-focused urban condominiums could compete with suburban homes. That there were people who wanted more.
Since those early days, Urban Capital has delivered over 4,500 urban condominiums, with another 2,600 now under construction and several thousand in the pipeline, totalling over $3.7 billion in development.
