Why buy pre-construction

Below-market entry pricing

Pre-construction pricing is typically set below projected values at completion, with the earliest buyers getting first pick of floor plans and views.

A deposit structure, not a lump sum

Instead of a full down payment upfront, deposits are staged over the construction period — a series of smaller payments rather than one large sum.

Tarion warranty coverage

New homes in Ontario are protected by Tarion's new home warranty program, covering defects on major structural elements for years after closing.

Choose your finishes

Buy early enough and you can often select your unit's layout, finishes, and upgrades before the building is even built.

How pre-construction works

1

Reserve your unit

A refundable deposit holds your unit during the platinum or VIP access period, before the project opens to the general public.

2

10-day cooling-off period

Ontario law gives every pre-construction buyer 10 calendar days to review the agreement with a lawyer and rescind if needed, no questions asked.

3

Staged deposits during construction

The remaining deposit is paid in scheduled installments tied to construction milestones, not all at once.

4

Interim occupancy

You can often move in and start living there before the building is legally registered, paying occupancy fees in place of a mortgage.

5

Final closing

Once the building is registered, your mortgage begins and ownership officially transfers to you.

Common questions

Occupancy is when you move in and start paying monthly occupancy fees to the builder, before the building is legally registered. Closing happens once registration is complete — that's when your mortgage begins and you officially take ownership.

Yes, through an assignment sale — selling your right to purchase the unit to another buyer before your own closing. Builder consent and fees are usually required, and the process works differently than a resale.

It varies by project, but a common structure is around 15-20% of the purchase price spread across several payments over the first year or two, rather than due all at once.

Builders are required to provide outside occupancy dates and notify you of delays. Tarion sets limits on how long a builder can push back occupancy before you're entitled to compensation or the right to terminate.

Yes — Tarion insures pre-construction deposits on new homes in Ontario up to a set limit per unit, so your money isn't simply at risk if a project doesn't proceed.
