- there's literally entire floors of 1m+ units in all those buildings, i do not believe that is the case for any other buildings.

Location - 90 George and 700 Sussex are great locations, no argument there.
Concierge - I'm not 100% sure about 700 Sussex, but 90 George's concierge would better be described as a doorman or security guard, concierges should do more than hold doors.
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.
