It's just marketing guys, as in you can own a condo in the 21ie arrondissement (ie Montreal). It's like if there was a Condo in Toronto marketed as 'The sixth borough'. (you never know...)

On a side note, it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow Paris in regards to arrondissement numbers. I profoundly despise our "Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles" or "Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension". Either stick with one or two words or give it a number. One day, they're going to realize that Montreal's boroughs are too small so they're going to merge them, so what's gonna happen then? A "Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension-Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie-Ahuntsic-Cartierville" Borough?
