Not enough, the latest project from Nick Ainis, a self-described \u201cserial entrepreneur,\u201d suggests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ainis is most known as a homebuilder and developer. The head of Fusioncorp Developments has had a hand in several developments across the Greater Toronto Area over the past decade. But his latest project is a far cry from his usual brick-and-mortar endeavours. In April, he published <i>Building Toronto\u2019s Skyline: Toronto Condominiums Through the Decades<\/i>, a book he co-authored with Charlie M. Wordsworth. The self-published paperback offers up a concise overview of the condominium, from its earliest beginnings to the present day. The book spawned from his passion for history as well as a desire to build his own brand. \u201cI thought studying the decades of condos would be a really interesting concept because I love history, and nobody\u2019s really done it before,\u201d he tells Wahi. \u201cI\u2019m in the industry. I thought, \u2018Why not?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Peppered within the historical account of Toronto condos are a number of facts that may surprise readers and condo dwellers alike. Here are five fascinating condo facts that we\u2019ve selected from the text, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Building-Torontos-Skyline-Toronto-Condominiums\/dp\/B0C47Q5724\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">available for purchase online<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Condos Have Ancient Roots \u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cApartments have a much longer history than most people realize,\u201d write Ainis and Wordsworth in Chapter 4: A Brief History of the Condo. Roman insulae, which were apartments or city blocks, date back to the second century A.D. These ancestors of the condo soared to heights of 10 storeys or more, and some insulae had upwards of 200 stairs so that residents could access the upper levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>2.North America\u2019s First Condo Was in Utah\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contemporary condos might be closely associated with cosmopolitan cities like New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Toronto, but the origin story of condos in North America begins in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1960. The inaugural condo project, spearheaded by attorney Keith Romney \u2014 who eventually <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deseret.com\/2012\/11\/16\/20444466\/about-utah-father-of-modern-condominiums-will-never-live-in-one#:~:text=Retired%20Utah%20attorney%20Keith%20Romney%20is%20considered%20the%20Father%20of%20Modern%20Condominiums.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">earned the title of Father of Modern Condominiums<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 kickstarted\u00a0 a new era of development on the continent. According to Ainis and Wordsworth, all 50 U.S. states had laws regulating condos by 1969. Modern condos had reached North America by way of Puerto Rico and Europe. (Not everyone agrees on the origins of the continent&#8217;s first condos as, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fosters.com\/story\/business\/columns\/2019\/10\/17\/history-of-condominiums\/2506133007\/#:~:text=Hawaii%20was%20the%20first%20state%20to%20do%20so%2C%20as%20near%20as%20I%20can%20tell%2C%20also%20in%201958%2C%20followed%20in%201960%20by%20Utah%2C%20and%20now%20each%20state%20has%20such%20a%20law.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some cite Hawaii<\/a> as the trailblazing source of the housing type.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
