How each reviewed development prices and positions itself, grouped by market.
Projects position value through modern design, ownership and lifestyle rather than presenting the product as cheap.
Nature, walkability, transit, private outdoor space and neighbourhood convenience are often more prominent than the word stacked.
Balconies, terraces, rooftop spaces and garden patios are important selling features for upper and lower units.
Quick closings, appliances and temporary condo-fee incentives are used to reduce purchase friction.
Many projects use Urban Towns or lifestyle-led project names instead of making stacked townhomes the headline.
