Behold the grand metropolis that serves as Canada’s financial, residential, industrial, and commercial hub: the city of Toronto!

Toronto is a city of lights and sights

replete with more amenities than you can shake a shopping bag at, along with being home to what was formerly the world’s tallest free-standing structure, the C.N Tower. Next to the C.N Tower, you have the Rogers Centre (formerly known as the Skydome), which plays host to baseball games. Toronto is a shopper’s paradise, home to a massive number of shopping malls scattered all throughout the city, but none so popular as CF Toronto Eaton Centre, a huge mall located downtown at the intersection of Yonge Street and Queen Street (with Dundas Street at the north end of the mall) and Yorkdale Shopping Centre, another large mall up at the intersection of Dufferin Street and Wilson Avenue. Shoppers of pre-construction condos Toronto also can make use of the TTC transit bus system or the TTC subway system that run all throughout the city to get the best of both of these shopping centers (and more), so that they can return home with stuff bought at both of the malls, not just one of them, so to speak.

The History Of Toronto City

The city of Toronto has a very long and storied history to it, as does its surrounding environs. People have been settling the region for over 10,000 years, but in an event known as the “Toronto Purchase”, the Mississauga First Nations people ceded the region to the British, allowing them to build the town of York in 1793, establishing that it would be the capital city of Upper Canada. Eventually, York grew into a city, and was rechristened as the city of Toronto, slowly but surely evolving into the megacity you know today that encompasses multiple suburbs such as North York, West End, Old Toronto, Don Mills, and more. This city has been the site and the stepping-off point for multiple conflicts throughout the 1800s (most notably, Fort York (which sat near where the present-day C.N Tower sits) was destroyed in an attack by American soldiers during the War of 1812) up to the Confederation of Canada as its own country separate from the United States.

Steeped in history (which is present every day at places like the Royal Ontario Museum (R.O.M) located in downtown Toronto) and known as one of the most multicultural cities in the entire world, Toronto serves as a fantastic place for people to live. Between the shopping, the culture, the history, and the convenience of having virtually everything right at your fingertips, you could live in just about any residential structure in the city of Toronto (regardless of where) and likely be able to access downtown or uptown Toronto with almost no effort whatsoever. Toronto is also a green city, being home to multiple building developers that are taking green initiatives when building new condominiums and residential homes, along with plenty of green spaces and parks to inject plenty of nature into this shining jewel of a city.
