A Piece of Kingston
There are only 4 high-rise condo buildings in Downtown Kingston. Two of these buildings were built over 25 years ago and represent a different era of development. A third was originally designed as affordable housing and features basic level finishes and minimal amenities.
The upper echelon tower downtown is located at 5 Gore. Units rarely come up for sale and prices in this building have currently range from $1.2 to $1.8 Million.
These case studies illustrate that urban living is desirable to those with the means to afford it. What is missing from the market is more affordable condo residences that have modern finishes and building amenities that today’s urban resident desires. Crown Condos is poised to capture the market and capitalize on the pent-up demand in the Downtown Kingston market.

Rental Market
Understanding the housing trends in Kingston is imperative to understanding the potential of your real estate investment. Crown Condos will provide a premium product to an in-demand, under-served market.
The current supply of rental units is predominantly comprised of older three and four storey buildings. These buildings lack amenities and have high maintenance costs due to their age. Much of the rental stock is located in less desirable locations outside the downtown core. Crown Condominiums will be a unique opportunity to own a luxuriously finished on-trend suite, with every amenity imaginable both inside and out, all in a location second to none.

- Lowest Vacancy Rate Of Major Cities In Ontario
- Downtown Vacancy Rate of 1%
