Knowledge is power.
It's no longer as easy as it used to be due to people abusing it. I know in Montreal, there is a by-law making it very hard to convert a multiplex into condos; and the basic revamping and titles will cost you a minimum $25,000 per units, thus I doubt you would make a 187% profit margin from such a conversion. I think a more reasonable profit margin as a promoter would be at around 30% or so.
