Our firm has acted for many developers and individuals on both the creation of new condominiums and conversion of existing buildings to condominiums. 

 

     Recently, our firm advised a developer on the creation of a multi-storey, four phase condominium development totalling over 80 units.  We have also worked with private owners to advise them through the process of converting apartments and resorts from a freehold interest to condominium ownership.  As part of this process, we provided guidance on the necessary municipal approvals such as zoning, official plan and building code requirements.

 

     Condominium law is a burgeoning part of our law practice which we feel will continue to expand due to the affordability of condominiums and the demographic shift of the baby boomers towards a lifestyle where they want less maintenance as compared to a typical home.

 

     The following is a list of some of the condominium projects that we have been involved in:

 

* Conversion of a resort with 6 cottages to condominium ownership

* Creation of a phased, resort condominium consisting of five phases where units are owned by 10 owners (fractional ownership)

* Creation of a new condominium for seniors at affordable housing prices

* Conversion of a 20 unit apartment building to condominium status

* Conversion of a large resort to condominium status such that each cottage could be sold as a unit of the condominium with shared use of the resort's facilities
