What do the Statue of Liberty and Palace Place have in common?
The answer is in the skin.
Like most skyscrapers today and the great Statue itself, Palace Place had been built with curtain walls as part of its unrivalled construction.
While used in virtually all major skyscrapers around the world, curtain wall construction is a very rare method of construction for condominiums in Toronto due to its cost. Even the older Palace Pier, which looks like the newer Palace Place, does not have curtain wall construction. Instead, like most Toronto condos, Palace Pier relies on inferior window wall construction.
A curtain wall system is installed in front of the concrete floor slab using anchors, whereas in a window wall system the walls span the slab heights and install between the slabs. A curtain wall is self-supporting unlike a window wall that uses the concrete slabs for structural support.
Window walls are the common solution to new condominium construction because they are more cost effective, but have a much shorter lifespan.
Curtain wall construction was pioneered in part during the construction of the Statue of Liberty.
The Statue of Liberty, by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, had been one of the earliest examples of curtain wall construction thanks to Gustave Eiffel, a prominent French architect and structural engineer, whose interior structural design for the statue had called for this innovative, structurally sound method.
Statue of Liberty Internal Support Structure
This curtain wall method meant that the exterior of the structure was not load bearing. Instead, it was supported by an interior framework. Because of this then modern approach, the Statue of Liberty’s internal structural skeletal system had provided robust support for its 62,000 lbs of copper skin, a testament to its 138-year longevity.
A curtain wall system is designed to stand the test of time. It costs significantly more, but is also far more robust, providing excellent structural integrity. This type of system is highly resistant to moisture, wind, heat, and earthquakes.

Once a year, the Dalinda Team provides a critical service to Santa by meeting atop Palace Place to scout all the new condo roofs in Humber Bay Shores.
Merry Christmas from Luke Dalinda!
It was certainly a challenging year for the real estate market in 2023. Market uncertainty had created serious challenges for many. Even to date, there remains unsold inventory at Palace Place and throughout Humber Bay Shores.
Luke Dalinda is pleased to report that not only did he sell every single listing he had this year, many of which he had sold himself, but he had also set the biggest record prices that Palace Place has ever experienced.
How?
Simply listing on MLS is not enough.
It is the passion, unrivalled market information, and access to buyers from around the globe, accumulated over an almost 30-year career dedicated to Palace Place, that make the sale.
How is a realtor from another city or end of the province supposed to sell something in a foreign market where they have never sold before?Why would you use them?You do not find sales reps from Honda selling Mercedes, do you?
The results speak for themselves. In fact, check out this recent testimonial, and feel free to reach out anytime to talk. It will only get you a higher price.
Merry Christmas and Happy 2024!
“ Luke recently represented our family in the purchase and sale of three properties.
During the process of purchasing the properties, Luke displayed a relentless work ethic in securing the best possible price for us. Even when faced with challenging circumstances, Luke refused to give up and continued to negotiate on our behalf. His exceptional negotiation skills ultimately resulted in a deal that met all of our requirements and exceeded our expectations.
When it came to selling our property, Luke devised a brilliant marketing strategy that included high-end brochures and captivating photography. This innovative approach not only attracted a wide pool of potential buyers but also led to us achieving the highest price ever paid for a property similar to ours. The substantial increase of over $800K compared to previous sales is a testament to Luke’s expertise and dedication.
Luke’s commitment to delivering exceptional results, coupled with his strong negotiation skills and creative marketing strategies, make him an invaluable asset for anyone seeking assistance in the real estate field. We highly recommend him to any potential clients who require professional representation and a tireless advocate. ”

When you compare Palace Place to new condos today, you begin to appreciate the effort that had gone into its unrivalled construction.
Completed in 1993, at a record $200-million, Palace Place was built by Bramalea Limited, Canada’s largest builder at the time. Palace Place was built to set a standard and example for condominiums in Canada.
I have been saying it for years now.When it comes to condos, newer IS NOT better. Buying a condo that has been built recently is a risk. It is a risk because it was most likely rushed to completion, and it is a risk because the condo has just been handed over to the owners from the builder, so the financial stability and maintenance fees are a big question mark.
Then, when your Corporation elects its first Board of Directors, you pretty much have a group of owners who have never served on a condo board before led by a brand new manager still trying to figure out the mess left behind by the builder, which, in a nutshell, leads to bad decision-making and increased maintenance fees.
Then, your suite, as so many other buildings have experienced, could be flooded on a regular basis because the plumbing was not set up right. Watch how fast you become uninsured and your carefree condo dream becomes a nightmare.
This is why I strongly recommend that clients buy an older condo, because it is established and secure.
In older condominium construction, the walls and floor plates are thicker, and the suites are spaced out farther apart, so you are not hearing and “living” with your neighbours.
When new, inferior construction is charging significantly higher per square foot, buyers are learning of the incomparable advantages that only Palace Place can offer. Why buy the K-car when you can own the Mercedes-Benz?
Buyers want space, and, most importantly, buyers want quality. New construction fails to deliver these two key requirements. Palace Place offers unrivalled construction, spacious floor plans, 5-star amenities and services, and million dollar forever views that you cannot find in new buildings today!
