Frequently Asked Questions About Square One Condos (2026)
1. What is the difference in condo fees between older and brand-new Square One towers?
In complexes built between 2007 and 2014 (such as Absolute World or Daniels' One Park Tower), monthly maintenance fees often include heating, central air conditioning, and water, whereas post-2022 towers (such as M City or Exchange District) show a lower per-square-foot base fee ($0.65–$0.72/sq. ft.) because water, hydro, and BTU thermal sub-metering are billed separately.
