(Courtesy Beedie) GUEST SUBMISSION: A decade ago, an industrial condo sale in the Greater Toronto Area was a rarity – just 17 changed hands across the entire region in 2016, worth a combined $28.5 million. Last year, 374 sold for a combined $937 million. Median price per square foot has climbed from $214 to $508 over that stretch, a compound annual gain of roughly 10 per cent.

There’s an undeniable allure to building a product in silence. Your LinkedIn header reads something like ‘Building something exciting’ or as it was in my case when we were building Zonado, a simple ‘Startup’.
