What Actually Increases the Value of a Condo?

Is it expensive finishes? Trendy furniture? A massive renovation budget?

Not necessarily.

In the latest episode of Lanterra Live, Lanterra Chairman Mark Mandelbaum sits down with interior stylist Sanaz Nouri to discuss the design decisions that truly elevate a condo, both aesthetically and financially.

From lighting and layout to kitchens and functionality, the conversation explores what buyers actually notice and where homeowners should invest their money for the greatest impact.

Topics include:

  • Where to spend vs. where to save
  • The design choices that improve resale value
  • How to make smaller spaces feel larger
  • Why first impressions matter
  • The biggest mistakes people make when designing a condo

One of the biggest takeaways? Great design is not about making everything stand out. It is about balance, flow, and creating a space people never want to leave.

Whether you are designing your forever home or thinking long-term as an investor, this episode offers practical insight into what truly adds value in today’s condo market.
