2026 market snapshot: why new launches are rare
The GTA pre-construction market is in an unusual period. According to Urbanation, only about 10 new condo projects launched across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area in all of 2025, and a record 28 projects were cancelled. In the first quarter of 2026, no new condo projects launched at all, for the first time in about 30 years. Completions are expected to fall sharply toward the end of the decade as the current pipeline finishes.
For buyers, that means more choice among buildings already under construction or nearing completion, including suites that developers are still selling, sometimes with incentives. It also means checking a project’s financing, sales progress and builder track record carefully before signing. Sources: STOREYS (Urbanation data, Jan 2026); Real Estate Magazine (Apr 2026).

Estimate a completion date
Choose how far along a project is and how tall it will be. The estimate uses typical GTA construction timelines, so treat it as a rough guide, not a promise.
Many GTA projects move their first occupancy date one or more times. Your agreement’s Tarion dates are what count legally.
Deposit schedule calculator
A common GTA structure is 20% paid in instalments during the first year. Enter a price to see the amounts and approximate due dates if you signed today.
Every builder sets its own schedule; some ask for less, some spread payments over two years. The remaining balance is paid at final closing, usually with a mortgage.
How long does a pre-construction condo take?
- Launch & salesUnits are sold from plans. Builders usually need a large share sold, often around 70%, before they can secure construction financing. Often 6–18 months.
- Excavation & foundationsDigging, shoring and underground parking. Often 9–15 months.
- Going upThe tower rises floor by floor, commonly about a floor every 3–4 weeks once it is above ground.
- FinishingWindows, interiors, elevators and inspections after topping off. Often 6–12 months.
- Interim occupancyYou move in and pay a monthly occupancy fee while the building is being registered.
- Final closingAfter registration, title transfers and your mortgage starts, usually 3–12 months after occupancy.
Key dates in your agreement
New condo agreements in Ontario include a Tarion Statement of Critical Dates. It lists a tentative occupancy date, a firm occupancy date set later on, and an outside occupancy date, the latest date the builder can deliver. Builders can move dates within the rules and with notice. If occupancy is delayed beyond what is allowed, you may be entitled to delayed occupancy compensation, up to Tarion’s limit.
Interim occupancy and final closing
At interim occupancy you get the keys, but you don’t own the unit yet. You pay a monthly occupancy fee, usually made up of interest on the unpaid balance, estimated common expenses and estimated property taxes. It works like rent, and it doesn’t reduce what you owe. Once the building is registered, final closing takes place: title transfers to you, your mortgage funds, and land transfer tax and closing adjustments are paid.
Costs to budget for at final closing
- Land transfer tax (Ontario, plus Toronto’s municipal tax inside the city)
- Legal fees and title insurance
- Development charges and levies, if not capped in your agreement
- Utility meter and connection fees, and the Tarion enrolment fee, where charged
- Adjustments for property tax and common expenses
Protections and rules to know
- 10-day cooling-off period. In Ontario you can cancel a new condo purchase within 10 days of receiving the signed agreement and disclosure statement, and your deposit is returned. Have a lawyer review the agreement during this window.
- Deposit protection. Condo deposits are protected by law up to set limits, and many builders hold deposits in trust.
- HST. Prices usually include HST net of the new housing rebate if you or a relative will live in the unit. Investors often pay the full HST at closing and may apply for a rental rebate. Ask your lawyer which federal and Ontario rebates apply to you now.
- Assignments. Selling your contract before closing is possible in many projects, but builders set conditions and fees.
Pre-construction questions
How long does a pre-construction condo take to build in Toronto?
From the sales launch to the day you move in, many GTA condo projects take roughly four to six years, and larger towers can take longer. Construction usually starts only after enough units are sold and approvals are in place. Use the estimator on this page for a rough range, and always check the dates in your own agreement.
What is the difference between occupancy and final closing?
At interim occupancy you can move in, but the building is not yet registered, so you pay a monthly occupancy fee instead of a mortgage. Final closing happens after the condominium is registered, usually a few months to a year later. That is when title transfers, your mortgage starts and the remaining balance is paid.
Can I cancel a pre-construction condo purchase in Ontario?
Ontario gives buyers of new condominium units a 10-day cooling-off period after receiving the signed agreement and the disclosure statement. During that time you can cancel and get your deposit back. Have a real estate lawyer review the agreement within those 10 days.
What happens if my condo completion is delayed?
Your agreement includes a Tarion Statement of Critical Dates with the tentative, firm and outside occupancy dates. Builders can extend within set limits, and if occupancy is delayed beyond the allowed dates you may be entitled to delayed occupancy compensation from the builder, up to Tarion’s limit.
How much deposit do I need for a pre-construction condo?
In the GTA, deposits are commonly 15% to 20% of the purchase price, paid in instalments over the first one to two years. The exact schedule differs by builder and project, so check the agreement before signing.
