Need to Move In Urgently? Condos that will TOP in 2021

Are you looking to move into a new home this year? Then perhaps you may be interested in buying a new condo that will be completed or reach its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in 2021. 

Although buying a TOP condo would mean missing the early bird discounts and paying more than if you had bought it at launch, there are many reasons why one would choose to buy a TOP condo. 

For one, unlike a resale condo, a TOP condo is brand new and comes with a fresh lease. It’s also in a move-in condition, so you don’t have to wait two to three years for it to be completed. Finally, since the condo has been completed, you get a better perspective of the actual unit and its surroundings. 

Sound like a plan? Read on for our list of condos obtaining TOP in 2021 below.
