2-BedroomBuilding Summary & Rental Market Overview
Rental market analytics and building profile as of August 31, 2026.
Massey Square at 1000 King St W in Toronto's West submarket is a fully occupied, 203-suite residential building developed by Plaza and completed in 2002. As of August 31, 2026, zero units are currently listed for rent, placing the building at a 0 percent availability rate. Leasing activity remains modest but consistent: one lease closed in the trailing 30 days with an average asking rent of $3,600 per month and an 11-day time on market, while two leases closed over the past 90 days averaging $3,075 per month with a 9-day average days on market.
With no active listings to benchmark, pricing intelligence draws on the building's realized lease history. The all-time average closed rent stands at $3,075 per month on an average suite footprint of 800 square feet, translating to a realized rate of $3.86 per square foot. That realized rate sits 10 percent below the Toronto West submarket asking benchmark of $4.72 per square foot, suggesting Massey Square's lease rates trade at a meaningful discount to what comparable units in the broader market are asking. The 30-day lease at $3,600 per month on a $3.79 per square foot basis reflects a slightly tighter unit than the building's historical average footprint.
Marketing friction at Massey Square is effectively absent: zero delisted, terminated, or expired listings are recorded, and the 9-day average closed days on market compares favourably against the submarket benchmark of 23 days. Negotiation data across all tracked leases shows a landlord-favorable dynamic, with landlords achieving an average premium of $25 per month, or 1 percent above the initial asking rent, generating roughly $300 in additional annual revenue per unit. For prospective renters, the practical implication is straightforward: with zero units available and no active inventory to browse, interested parties should monitor the building for new listings or direct their search toward the 50 active units currently available across the Toronto West submarket.

Leased Transaction Insights & Questions
How many suites were leased at Massey Square last month, and how fast did they rent?
Massey Square at 1000 King St W recorded an 11-day average DOM on its single 30-day lease closing, compared to a 9-day average over the trailing 90 days and a Toronto West submarket benchmark of 23 days. The building logged one closed lease in the past 30 days, two in the past 90 days, and two lifetime, indicating leasing activity is sparse but clearing well under the submarket median. Turnover has not accelerated; the 90-day window simply captures the same two transactions, so cadence remains flat rather than pausing or surging.
What is the negotiation spread between asking rents and closed lease prices at Massey Square?
Massey Square tenants paid an average premium of $25 per month (1.00% above asking) across its two tracked leases, generating $300 per year in additional landlord revenue. Both transactions closed at or above the listed asking price, meaning zero leases settled below asking and landlords held full pricing leverage in this micro-market. The 1% premium is modest but directionally landlord-favorable, confirming that demand at Massey Square met or exceeded initial listing expectations.
What are typical executed lease prices across different layouts at Massey Square?
Massey Square's two highest-volume anchor layouts are the 1-Bedroom and 2-Bedroom tiers, each representing 50% of tracked leases. The 1-Bedroom closed at $2,550 per month with a 7-day DOM across an average 650 square foot suite, pricing at $3.92 per square foot. This is an individual single transaction and does not represent a broad statistical benchmark. The 2-Bedroom closed at $3,600 per month with an 11-day DOM across an average 950 square foot suite, pricing at $3.79 per square foot. This is also an individual single transaction and should not be read as a market-wide rate card.
What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at Massey Square?
Massey Square's realized leased parking premium cannot be isolated because the paired data set is insufficient to separate parking from suite rent. Active-listing parking data is similarly unreliable due to outlier or sample-size constraints, so no defensible monthly parking figure can be quoted. Tenants should confirm whether parking is bundled into the suite rate or billed separately before signing a lease at this building.
How does the lease-to-listing ratio at Massey Square reflect current tenant demand?
Massey Square shows a rising nominal rent trajectory from July to August 2026, moving from $2,550 to $3,600 per month. In July 2026, one lease closed at $2,550 per month, $3.92 per square foot, and 7 days on market. In August 2026, one lease closed at $3,600 per month, $3.79 per square foot, and 11 days on market. The nominal rent jump reflects the shift to a larger 950-square-foot suite rather than a per-square-foot rate increase; the $/sq. ft. actually eased by 3.3% between the two months.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory
Massey Square's average realized rent of $3,075 per month sits 14% above the Toronto West submarket average of $2,696, while its $3.86 per square foot rate trades 10% below the submarket's $4.29 per square foot. This combination signals that Massey Square's suites are larger than the submarket norm, allowing a higher absolute rent without commanding a premium on a per-square-foot basis. The building is positioned as a value-oriented, larger-footprint option within a submarket where smaller units carry a steeper $/sq. ft. tag. Pricing discipline at Massey Square leans landlord-favorable: both tracked leases closed at or above asking, with an average 1% premium of $25 per month translating to $300 in annualized additional revenue per unit. Zero leases settled below the listed price, indicating that landlords did not need to concede on rent to close transactions. The 1% spread is modest in absolute terms but directionally confirms that asking prices at this building are calibrated to or slightly below what tenants are willing to pay in the Toronto West market.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads
Direct rental rate comparisons against residential properties in the immediate vicinity.
Massey Square at 1000 King St W sits in a dense cluster of four active competitors within 110 metres, all of which recorded closed lease transactions over the trailing 180 days. DNA II (1005 King St W, 0.05 km, completed 2006) logged 5 closed leases; King West Village Lofts (954 King St W, 0.08 km, completed 2000) recorded 2; DNA I (1 Shaw St, 0.08 km, completed 2006) closed 8; and DNA 3 (1030 King St W, 0.11 km, completed 2015) generated the heaviest volume at 33 closed leases. The peer set spans three construction eras—the early-2000s cohort (King West Village Lofts in 2000, Massey Square in 2002), the mid-2000s DNA I/II pair, and the 2015 DNA 3—giving renters a clear generational spread in unit design, floor plates, and common-area programming. Against the four-comp benchmark of $2,517 average rent, $4.24 per square foot, and 610 average square feet, Massey Square's realized lease profile of $3,075 per month at $3.86 per square foot across 800 square feet positions the building as a larger-footprint, lower-rate-per-space alternative. The subject's 800-square-foot average suite exceeds every nearby competitor by 82 to 283 square feet, which explains why the nominal monthly rent runs $558 above the comp average despite a $0.38 per square foot discount on the rate itself. At 24 years of age, Massey Square offers a mature, established residential product that trades on interior volume and straightforward maintenance over the newer wellness and outdoor programming found in the 2006 and 2015 DNA buildings.
Comparable Analysis & Questions
How do rental rates at Massey Square compare to neighbouring buildings within Toronto West?
Massey Square's average realized lease rent of $3,075 per month sits $558 (22.2%) above the four-comp benchmark of $2,517, driven entirely by the building's larger interior footprint rather than a higher rate per square foot. DNA II at 1005 King St W (0.05 km, 5 closed leases) averaged $2,480 per month at $4.11 per square foot across 606 square feet; King West Village Lofts at 954 King St W (0.08 km, 2 closed leases) averaged $2,725 at $3.97 per square foot over 718 square feet; DNA I at 1 Shaw St (0.08 km, 8 closed leases) averaged $2,481 at $4.15 per square foot across 600 square feet; and DNA 3 at 1030 King St W (0.11 km, 33 closed leases) averaged $2,383 at $4.71 per square foot over 517 square feet. Every competitor recorded active lease volume, so each figure represents a realized pricing benchmark rather than an asking-price reference.
Does Massey Square offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?
Massey Square leases at $3.86 per square foot across an average 800-square-foot suite, trading at a discount below every active nearby competitor on a per-square-foot basis while delivering materially more interior space. Against DNA II (0.05 km), the subject offers a $0.25 per square foot (6.1%) discount and 194 more square feet; against King West Village Lofts (0.08 km), a $0.11 per square foot (2.8%) discount and 82 more square feet; against DNA I (0.08 km), a $0.29 per square foot (7.0%) discount and 200 more square feet; and against DNA 3 (0.11 km), a $0.85 per square foot (18.0%) discount and 283 more square feet. The higher nominal rent at Massey Square—$350 to $692 above each competitor—is a direct function of the 82-to-283-square-foot footprint advantage, not a premium on asset valuation per unit of space. A renter choosing Massey Square over DNA 3, for example, pays $692 more per month but gains 283 additional square feet at a rate $0.85 per square foot lower, making the larger suite the economic driver of the rent differential.
How do building age, amenities, and developer reputation impact rent spreads?
Massey Square provides a five-item amenity package—Gym & Fitness Centre, Party & Lounge Room, Games & Billiards Room, Meeting Room, and Concierge & Security—that is leaner than every nearby competitor but still covers core fitness, social, and professional-use needs. DNA II (1005 King St W) and DNA I (1 Shaw St) each add Yoga Studio, Sauna & Steam Room, Rooftop Terrace, Garden & Courtyard, and BBQ Area beyond what Massey Square offers; DNA 3 (1030 King St W) layers on a Business Centre, Media & Theatre Room, Dining Room & Kitchen, Rain Room, and Rooftop Terrace; and King West Village Lofts (954 King St W) includes a Media & Theatre Room, BBQ Area, and Garden & Courtyard that Massey Square does not. The subject's package omits all aquatic/wellness programming (sauna, steam, yoga), outdoor living (rooftop, garden, BBQ), and dedicated media or dining spaces, positioning it as a no-frills, low-maintenance residential building that appeals to cost-conscious professionals and small households who prioritize a larger private suite and straightforward common-area access over resort-style lifestyle amenities.

- Benchmark Comparison Cadence: Month-over-month comparisons evaluate changes across standardized month-end reporting windows (August 2026 vs July 2026), ensuring consistent baseline periods and eliminating intra-month reporting volatility.
- Point-in-Time Daily History: Daily charts capture point-in-time active listings available on any given calendar day.
Public Data Aggregation & Thresholds
- Public Data Aggregation: FastScreen aggregates residential rental listing and completed lease transaction records from publicly available sources.
- Threshold Filtering: All listings are subject to a minimum monthly rental threshold of $1,000 to filter out standalone storage lockers, private parking spaces, and misclassified commercial entries from condominium statistics.
Calculation Formulations
- Average Asking Rent: Weighted average of active asking prices across available suites in the reporting period.
- Price Per Square Foot ($/SF): Calculated by dividing rent by square footage only for listings that provide unit dimensions (suites without stated square footage are excluded from $/SF calculations).
- Days on Market (DOM): Measures elapsed calendar days between the date a suite is first listed and either the benchmark snapshot date (for active listings) or the finalized date leased.
- Parking & Den Differentials: Average asking rent differences between suites with vs. without parking, and suites with vs. without a den.
Data Limitations & Scope
