Projects occupying in 2027 were purchased in 2022–2023. A mix of assignments from original buyers and remaining builder inventory make this a compelling year to target.
The 2027 closing cohort represents one of the most interesting buying windows in Ontario's current pre-construction market. Projects originally sold in 2022–2023 — during the rate transition period — are approaching occupancy, and a mix of assignment opportunities and remaining builder inventory is available. For buyers who want new construction within 12–18 months but missed the original launch, this is the window.
Deposits on 2027-closing projects are typically 70–100% paid by now, which means assignment sellers are reimbursing a larger deposit pool — often creating more motivated pricing than 2026 assignments where sellers may want a larger profit. The compressed deposit burden on the assignee also means less upfront capital required in some cases.
Enough time for full mortgage planning, legal review, and closing cost preparation — without the multi-year wait of a 2029–2030 purchase.
Buildings targeting 2027 occupancy are typically 50–80% complete. You can often see your building rising — or in some cases visit nearly-finished floors.
Assignment sellers and builders releasing remaining 2027 inventory are motivated. Buyers entering in 2026 for 2027 closing often secure pricing below the current new-launch equivalent.

Most high-rise condos closing in 2027 will have an interim occupancy period before the building formally registers. During this period, you move in and pay an occupancy fee (equivalent to interest on your deposit + maintenance + taxes) — but don't hold legal title yet. This period typically runs 3–9 months for a 2027 building.
For investors, the interim occupancy period has a rental restriction in most builder agreements — you typically cannot rent the unit during interim occupancy. Plan for this: if you intend to rent from day one, confirm the specific terms of your APS with your lawyer, and budget for the occupancy fee period as a carrying cost before rental income begins.
For end-users, interim occupancy is essentially a "soft move-in" — you're in your new home, living normally, while the administrative registration process completes. The primary practical difference is you cannot close your mortgage until final registration.
