Peter Munk says he’s largely out of the real estate game, but he is GLOBAL ECONOMY putting his money in one surpris- ing spot – Toronto condos. The 85-year-old founder and DOWN UNDER’S DOWNTURN chairman of Barrick Gold Corp. – and former head of real estate gi- ant Trizec Properties, which was sold to Brookfield Properties Corp. in 2006 for more than $5-billion – is now spending some of his personal wealth on financ- ing condo projects in Canada’s most populous city. It’s a contrarian move. Policy makers in Ottawa, including Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, have suggested that they think too many condos are being built in Toronto’s core. Research firm Urbanation Inc. said Monday that 2,728 new con- dos were sold in the city during the first three months of this year, down 29 per cent from the prior quarter and 55 per cent from the first quarter of 2012. Some devel- opers have shelved project plans amid the sales downturn, and the number of new buildings that opened in the first quarter of this year was the lowest since the third quarter of 2009. The num- ber of unsold units in projects that are going ahead has climbed to 18,845, up 21 per cent from a year ago. But Mr. Munk, who believes in Toronto’s long-term future, is unfazed. “That’s the wonderful thing about the markets; if all of us had A strong currency, triple-A credit rating and a commodities-heavy economy – the same view, we couldn’t afford to buy anything,” Mr. Munk said Australia looks a lot like us. But as Tavia Grant reports, the country’s cooling growth in an interview. “It’s wonderful to and Tuesday’s surprise interest-rate cut doesn’t mean Canada will follow suit.
