Pre-construction in Scarborough
Doorvia Guides · September 1, 2026
Larger sites and lower land costs mean bigger suites and mid-rise options across Scarborough.
Scarborough pre-construction spans mid-rise buildings, stacked townhomes and larger master-planned communities, particularly around Scarborough Centre, Kennedy and the Eglinton East corridor.
Land costs are lower than in the old city core, which usually translates into more square footage per dollar and more genuine two and three-bedroom plans. Family buyers and long-term investors are the natural market.
Diligence points: confirm the timing of transit projects rather than relying on marketing, ask how many phases the community will have and when later phases build beside you, and compare against completed buildings nearby before assuming appreciation.
