Toronto faced compounding exposure as the trade conflict squeezed construction economics and condo starts declined, leaving new supply more sensitive to higher material costs.
A federal construction index showed fabricated metal costs ↑2.1% quarterly, adding pressure in Toronto as building projects remained tied to steel-intensive development.
Structural steel costs ↑1.8% quarterly, reinforcing supply-side risk for Toronto, where construction still relied on steel and rebar priced significantly higher overall.
