The Smart House sales centre is swarming with eager buyers interested in the micro condo concept.

Micro condo madness

You may well have heard of Urban Capital in association with their recent breakthrough in collaboration with Malibu Investments – Smart House, Toronto’s first micro condo (and recent winner of the BILD award for Best Small Suite Design), where minimal square footage maximizes ingenuity. As sales figures show, Torontonians loves the way this hyper-efficient micro condo makes its premium Queen and University location affordable.

Wex’s mind is immediately on the move. “Having worked on improved space planning and amenities, the ‘Smart Home’ so to speak. We’ll pay even more attention to energy efficiency. I’d like to take the product we’ve refined in highly competitive Toronto to new markets across the country, then maybe one day outside of Canada.” One thing is certain, Wex won’t relent in his intensely creative approach to business. Like all true revolutionaries, he’s a man of insatiable focus.

“As a mid-sized developer with two entrepreneurs at the helm, we can shift gears quickly. If a great site appears out of thin air we can jump on it. Makes life interesting! I have projects underway that should result in the development of more than 3,000 new units within five years,” Reeve specifies – ever the numbers guy. “Ten years out I predict 10,000 units.”

New markets, new architectural approaches, new interior features and layouts (taking the micro condo to new heights), and new environmental measures – that’s the Urban Capital vision. Meet two men intent on getting more and more out of their industry, ensuring we get the utmost out of our cities and homes.
