The idea of micro condominiums, condos that are under 500 [square feet] in size, is not new in densely populated cities such as New York or Tokyo, where sub-500-[square-feet] homes are not created to be hip and trendy, but, instead, are created out of necessity.

CONT

Dans ce secteur de la ville où a longtemps régné en maître l'immeuble multirésidentiel de faible densité de type «plex», l'industrie de la promotion immobilière a donné lieu à un changement majeur du paysage urbain. Elle a favorisé la construction de bâtiments verticaux (les tours) de plus forte densité dans lesquels sont aménagés des logements offrant un espace habitable de 500 pi² et moins que les promoteurs rencontrés désignent par l'expression «microcondo».
