A proliferation of condominiums is fundamentally changing the built, social, and economic fabric of Canada's cities. While developments may be found throughout the urban landscape of cities large and small, most of the contemporary research focuses on luxury towers in the urban cores of Toronto and Vancouver. The following study examines the complete inventory of all condominium units in Halifax, Nova Scotia, revealing spatial and temporal patterns in their development. Nearly 60% of Halifax's condominium units are found in the suburbs, with only 20% in the downtown. Condominium units built since 2010 command the highest prices, surpassing the median single detached house price in the city, while older units from the 1970s and 1980s remain largely affordable. Recent developments can be found in gentrifying neighbourhoods; however, they remain a minority as many more units are found in middle‐class suburbs and wealthy inner‐city neighbourhoods. Owing to their varied manifestations, the predominant associations of condominiums with a downtown, luxury housing format needs expanding to include locations throughout the metropolitan area, distinct building types, and wide range of prices.

市区豪华塔楼之外的景色：当代中型城市公寓发展的多样性

公寓的激增从根本上改变了加拿大城市的建成，社会和经济结构。尽管可以在大小城市的整个城市景观中找到发展，但大多数当代研究都集中在多伦多和温哥华市中心的豪华塔楼。以下研究检查了新斯科舍省哈利法克斯所有公寓单元的完整清单，揭示了其发展的时空格局。哈利法克斯的公寓单元中近60％位于郊区，而市区只有20％。自2010年以来建造的公寓单位的价格最高，超过了该市的独立式住宅中位价，而1970年代和1980年代的旧单位仍然可以负担得起。最近的发展可以在高档化的社区中找到。然而，他们仍然是少数，因为在中产阶级郊区和富裕的市中心社区中发现了更多的单位。由于公寓的表现形式各异，因此需要将公寓与市区豪华住房形式的主要关联扩展到涵盖整个大都市地区的位置，独特的建筑类型和广泛的价格范围。
