Meriam – Webster defines luxury as: “a condition of abundance or great ease and comfort.” While we don’t disagree with this definition, we feel the word “baller” might have been more concise. Luxury condos are extravagant, with generous layouts and opulent finishes. And because it can be hard locating the best luxury condos for sale in a city as large as Toronto, we’ve compiled a list of the top 25 based on square footage and price.

But anyone who lives at The Europa will forever associate the name with one of the most luxurious condos in the west end of Toronto. Granite countertops, hardwood floors, and stainless steel appliances are found in every suite. And unlike many of the box-like condos on the market today, these suites can have asymmetrical layouts.

- Why a Luxury condo? The St. Regis Residences has more to offer than just a regal name — though it certainly sounds regal — but what makes it so desirable is up for debate: is it the ample amenities? Amazing location?

- Why a Luxury condo? The Museum House derives its name from its position above the ROM; it might seem odd to name a property “House” when it stands 18 storeys tall, but with only 27 units in all, it’s absolutely a boutique residence. Condos in this building have staggeringly large floor plans — beginning at 1600 square feet — and incredible finishes. Private elevator access and valet parking are but a few of the extras that come with these suites, but if 7 figure prices tags are at all off-putting, then you can forget about that private elevator ride.

The location is both tucked away and yet near to the action; Summerhill Station is mere minutes from the lobby doors. Desirable amenities include a concierge, and all suites have oversized balconies.

We’re sure that’s never happened before… by now most people assume that condos in Yorkville are luxurious, but even luxury condos are jealous of 36 Hazelton.

But it’s the convenient location in Yorkville, minutes from the Mink Mile, that makes The Florian the epitome of luxury.

- About: One Bedford has 32 storeys and houses 254 units. The building was completed in 2011 by Lanterra Developments. 1 Bedford Road is located in the The Annex neighbourhood, in the Downtown area, Toronto.

These minimalist condos are beautiful blank canvases that just so happen to come with top of the line appliances and stunning views of downtown Toronto. With excellent amenities and Yorkville location, it’s no wonder that these luxury condos are in demand.

The majority of suites in this Yorkville condo are much more affordable, though no less lavish. Marble countertops, rich hardwood floors, fireplaces, and enticing amenities are just some of the features that make these luxury suites so appealing.
