DBS Developments
3 active developments by DBS Developments across Toronto.
DBS Developments currently has three active projects listed on the platform, all in Toronto, Ontario. The listings include Towns at Metropark, Metro Park Apartments and Metro Park.
The home-type mix is small and specific: one condo project and one townhome project among the listings. That gives buyers a choice between a condominium apartment and a townhome within the builder's current Toronto offering.
Because the footprint is a single city, buyers can compare the projects directly on location, home type and layout. Pricing, unit counts and completion dates aren't summarized here, so check each project page for current details.
Metro Park Apartments

From $642,900

Buying a DBS Developments pre-construction home
How buying pre-construction works
Buyers typically register interest, receive early access to availability and pricing, then sign an agreement of purchase and sale and pay deposits in stages. Before final closing, many projects have an interim occupancy period where the buyer moves in and pays occupancy fees, with title transferring at closing.
In Ontario, new and pre-construction condos carry a 10-day cooling-off (rescission) period under the Condominium Act. It applies to condos, not freehold houses, so check how this applies to the townhome project, which may be sold differently. Have a lawyer review the agreement within that window.
For investors: what to evaluate
Pre-construction purchases typically let a buyer secure a unit with a staged deposit schedule and pay the balance at closing, often years later. That structure spreads out the cash required, but it also means the buyer carries market and timing risk until completion.
For DBS Developments' Toronto projects, consider the home type (condo or townhome), local rental demand, how much comparable supply is coming to market, and expected carrying costs such as maintenance fees and taxes. Read the full agreement and have a lawyer review it. Nothing here predicts appreciation or returns.
For first-time buyers
Pre-construction usually requires a deposit paid in stages, commonly over a period of months, rather than all at once. Exact amounts are set by the builder's agreement, so confirm the schedule for each project before committing.
Ontario first-time buyers may be able to use programs such as the federal First Home Savings Account or the Home Buyers' Plan, and may qualify for land transfer tax rebates in Ontario and Toronto. Eligibility rules change, so verify current terms. Registering early can give access to project information and first release of units, before wider marketing begins.
Common questions
Where is DBS Developments building?
On this platform, DBS Developments has three active projects, all in Toronto, Ontario.
What projects does DBS Developments have?
Current listings include Towns at Metropark, Metro Park Apartments and Metro Park.
What home types are available?
The listings include one condo project and one townhome project.
Is there a cooling-off period when buying a pre-construction condo in Ontario?
Yes. Ontario provides a 10-day cooling-off (rescission) period for new and pre-construction condos under the Condominium Act. It does not apply to freehold houses.
Does the cooling-off period apply to the townhomes?
It applies to condos, not freehold houses. Whether it covers a townhome depends on how the home is sold, so ask a real estate lawyer to confirm.
How much deposit is required?
Deposits are paid in stages and the amounts are set by each project's agreement. Check the individual project page and the agreement for the schedule.
Is DBS Developments a good option for investors?
That depends on the project, price, rental demand and your carrying costs. Evaluate each project on its own and don't rely on assumptions about future appreciation.
What is the difference between interim occupancy and closing?
Interim occupancy lets you move in before the building is registered, with monthly occupancy fees. Final closing is when title transfers and you pay the balance of the purchase price.
