Price - price/sq. ft. shouldn't be a factor in evaluating the quality of a condo, quality/sq. ft. should be considered. Just because something has a $1M price tag, doesn't mean it's built to a $1M level.
# of $1M+ condos - this is a direct result of the size of the condos themselves. I could slap together 2 or 3 smaller condos at any downtown highrise and have a few $1M+ condos in my inventory, to me that has no barring on the quality of the condo.
I agree with the previous poster, Charlesfort is one of, if not, the best builder in the city, his higher quality comes with a much higher price - but you pay for what you get in their projects. I hesitate to include 700 Sussex in the category of upper echelon condos, since the location is the only feature that sets it apart from other condos, but even at that, its at one of the busiest vehicle traffic intersections in the city, and being only 7 levels, I can't imagine the traffic noise isn't a factor even on the higher levels.

there were multiple guys at concierge during my time there. one used to work at a hotel in the same capacity and provided the same level service. the next was awful and basically a security guard/doorman and when he finally got the boot the next one was quite good.. that being said, i moved out over 5 years ago and quite honestly i still miss the building.
you're discussing quality, i was replying to a question about league. it's as much to do about status and exclusivity as it is quality. my barrier to entry point speaks to this as well.
all the units are large not by means of slapping smaller units together. room dimensions are significantly bigger than your average condo. for example my 1br/1bath unit was over 900 sq feet. quite honestly i did not find noise much of an issue in either of my units but my partner will happily complain to you about the snowplows or that one night when helsinki (was that the name?) had their system on way way way too loud.
