Boutique Condos II at 126 Simcoe Street in Toronto's Entertainment District is a 304-suite residential tower completed in 2011 by Urban Capital Property Group, Malibu Investments Inc., and West Dev. As of August 31, 2026, the building carries a single active listing out of 153 available units across the submarket, yielding an availability rate of just 0.3 percent. Leasing velocity remains brisk: seven closed leases in the trailing 30 days at an average 13 days on market, and 23 in the trailing 90 days averaging 21 days on market, against a submarket benchmark of 20 days.

The one active suite asks $2,100 per month on 400 square feet, translating to $5.25 per square foot. That rate per square foot sits meaningfully above the building's realized lease averages of $4.28 per square foot over the last 30 days and $4.26 per square foot over 90 days, even though the nominal monthly rent is lower than the 30-day lease average of $2,814. The discrepancy is entirely a footprint story: the active listing is 400 square feet compared to a historical lease average of 652 square feet, making the current inventory substantially more compact than what tenants have been leasing. Against the submarket asking benchmark of $5.53 per square foot, the building's active rate is 5.1 percent below market.

Marketing friction is minimal on both the active and closed sides. The single active listing has sat for 14 days, well under the submarket average of 20 days, and the 30-day closed cohort averaged just 13 days, indicating no leasing deceleration. Across all 29 tracked historical leases, tenants secured an average concession of $15 per month, or 0.51 percent below asking, with 24.1 percent of deals closing under the listed price and an annualized savings of $180. Inventory depth is effectively zero beyond the single one-bedroom listing; renters seeking alternatives in this building should monitor the submarket's 153 active listings for comparable Entertainment District options.

Active Market Insights & Questions

How has rental availability changed at Boutique Condos II recently?

Boutique Condos II at 126 Simcoe Street carries exactly one active listing as of August 31, 2026, asking $2,100 per month with both the average and median rent at $2,100. The available suite spans 400 square feet at an asking rate of $5.25 per square foot. The entire active inventory is a single one-bedroom unit, meaning there is no multi-bedroom or executive-tier option currently on the market, and the compact 400-square-foot footprint positions this as an entry-level offering rather than a larger family layout.

What floor plans and unit layouts are currently available at Boutique Condos II?

The sole active layout at Boutique Condos II is a one-bedroom unit, representing 100 percent of the building's available inventory with a single listing. That one-bedroom asks $2,100 per month on 400 square feet, pricing out to $5.25 per square foot. No two-bedroom, three-bedroom, or studio units are currently listed, so renters looking for alternative bedroom configurations must turn to the broader Entertainment District submarket.

What is the average asking rent and $/SF by suite size at Boutique Condos II?

With only one active listing at Boutique Condos II, the minimum and maximum asking rents are both $2,100 per month, producing a dollar spread of zero and a percentage spread of zero. The median asking rent is likewise $2,100. The entry-level and peak suite are the same unit: a one-bedroom on 400 square feet at $5.25 per square foot, so there is no internal price gradient to compare within the building's current inventory.

How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at Boutique Condos II?

Active den premiums at Boutique Condos II cannot be quantified because the single available listing does not include a den configuration, leaving the dollar delta and marginal cost per square foot unmeasurable. Active parking premiums also cannot be reliably isolated from the current data due to an insufficient paired sample of listed units with and without parking. Historical lease data does confirm a verified parking add-on of $202 per month, but that figure reflects closed transactions rather than the current active listing.

How do asking rents at Boutique Condos II compare to local and municipal benchmarks?

Boutique Condos II's active asking rent of $2,100 per month sits well below the Entertainment District submarket average asking rent of $3,542, and its $5.25 per square foot rate is 5.1 percent below the submarket asking benchmark of $5.53 per square foot. The nominal rent gap is largely explained by suite size: the active listing at 400 square feet is far more compact than the submarket's typical asking inventory, so the lower monthly figure does not signal a discount on space efficiency. The building holds one out of 153 active listings in the submarket, representing roughly 0.7 percent of total available inventory.

Over the 90-day window, 23 leases closed at an average DOM of 21, and the full one-year record shows 29 total closings at a lifetime average DOM of 20. Leasing turnover accelerated sharply in the last month, with 30-day volume representing roughly 24% of the annual total while DOM compressed by 7 days versus the 90-day average.

What is the negotiation spread between asking rents and closed lease prices at Boutique Condos II?

Boutique Condos II tenants negotiated an average discount of $15 per month (0.51% below asking), translating to $180 in annual savings per lease across tracked transactions. 24.1% of all closed leases settled under the listed asking price, confirming measurable tenant leverage in this submarket. The remaining 75.9% of leases closed at or near asking, indicating landlords held firm on pricing for the majority of units while conceding modestly on a quarter of the volume.

What are typical executed lease prices across different layouts at Boutique Condos II?

The two highest-volume anchor layouts at Boutique Condos II are the 1-Bedroom and 2-Bedroom, each accounting for 34.5% of closed leases with average rents of $2,060 and $2,930 per month respectively, and average DOMs of 20 and 24 days. The 1-Bedroom tier (10 closed leases, robust sample) averages 500 square feet at $4.25 per square foot, with a median of $2,075 and a P25-P75 range of $2,012 to $2,100. The 2-Bedroom tier (10 closed leases, robust sample) averages 704 square feet at $4.20 per square foot, with a median of $2,950 and a P25-P75 range of $2,825 to $3,025. The 1-Bedroom + Den tier (6 closed leases, moderate sample) averages 649 square feet at $3.98 per square foot, with a median of $2,575 and a P25-P75 range of $2,512 to $2,638. The 3-Bedroom+ tier (3 closed leases) serves as a directional reference only given the small sample size, averaging 990 square feet at $4.31 per square foot with a median of $4,200 and a P25-P75 range of $4,125 to $4,350.

What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at Boutique Condos II?

Boutique Condos II carries a verified leased parking premium of $202 per month, confirmed across paired lease records. This figure reflects the realized market value tenants paid for a parking spot bundled with their suite lease. Active asking parking data is inconclusive due to an unreliable outlier or insufficient paired sample, so no comparison can be drawn between current asking rates and the verified $202 realized premium.

How does the lease-to-listing ratio at Boutique Condos II reflect current tenant demand?

Boutique Condos II shows a clear upward rent trajectory from May through July 2026 before a modest pullback in August. In May, 5 leases closed at an average of $2,340 per month ($4.11 per square foot) with a 14-day DOM. June saw volume spike to 9 closings at $2,533 per month ($3.90 per square foot), though DOM stretched to 30 days, suggesting a mix of smaller, faster-turning suites. July pushed the average to $2,994 per month ($4.46 per square foot) across 8 closings with a 20-day DOM, reflecting larger suites entering the market. August closed 7 leases at $2,814 per month ($4.28 per square foot) with DOM compressing to 13 days, indicating tighter inventory and faster absorption.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory

Boutique Condos II at 126 Simcoe St realized an average lease rent of $2,695 per month and a rate of $4.18 per square foot across 29 closed leases, positioning the building $61 per month (2.2%) below the Entertainment District submarket average of $2,756 and 7.5% below the submarket rate of $4.52 per square foot. This discount reflects the building's 652-square-foot average suite size and a pricing strategy that undercuts neighbouring properties on per-square-foot cost while remaining competitive on absolute rent for the dominant 1- and 2-bedroom layouts. Pricing discipline at Boutique Condos II skews toward tenant leverage, with 24.1% of leases closing below asking price. The average concession across those discounted transactions was $15 per month (0.51%), equating to $180 in annualized tenant savings per lease. Landlords absorbed this modest pushback on price rather than holding units unrented, as evidenced by the zero delisted inventory and a lifetime average DOM of just 20 days. The net effect is a market where tenants hold a small but consistent negotiating edge, while landlords maintain volume through rapid absorption rather than premium pricing.

Does Boutique Condos II offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?

Boutique Condos II leases at $4.18 per square foot across an average 652-square-foot suite, trading at a discount below every active competitor on a per-square-foot basis while offering less interior space than three of the four peers. Against University (0.07 km), the subject trades at a $0.02 per square foot (0.5%) discount and provides 31 fewer interior square feet, so the lower nominal rent of $104 is partly a function of the smaller footprint rather than a pure rate concession. Living Shangri-La Toronto (0.08 km) commands $7.17 per square foot over 990 square feet; the subject offers a $2.99 per square foot (41.7%) discount and 338 fewer interior square feet, meaning the $3,541 monthly gap is overwhelmingly a scale and product-tier difference. Studio (0.09 km) rents at $4.40 per square foot over 656 square feet; the subject trades at a $0.22 per square foot (5.0%) discount with just 4 fewer square feet, a near-identical footprint at a modestly lower rate. Boutique Condos I (0.09 km) sits at $4.19 per square foot over 626 square feet; the subject trades at a $0.01 per square foot (0.2%) discount yet provides 26 more interior square feet, delivering marginally more space for $145 more per month—a near-parity value exchange between the two sibling buildings.

How do building age, amenities, and developer reputation impact rent spreads?

Boutique Condos II fields a 14-item amenity suite that includes both an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, a business centre, and outdoor fire pits—a combination that distinguishes it from three of its four immediate competitors. University (140 Simcoe St) offers a putting green and jogging track but lacks any pool, business centre, or fire-pit facility. Living Shangri-La Toronto (180 University Ave) matches the indoor pool and adds a spa, EV charging, and a car wash bay, but omits the outdoor pool and outdoor fire pits found at the subject. Studio (199 Richmond St W) provides an outdoor pool and a dining room but has no indoor pool, no business centre, and no fire pits. Boutique Condos I (21 Nelson St) is the closest amenity match, sharing both pools and fire pits, yet adds private cabanas and an outdoor bar that the subject does not offer, while the subject includes a business centre and meeting room that Boutique Condos I also carries. The dual-pool, business-centre, and fire-pit package at Boutique Condos II best serves young professionals and small teams in the Entertainment District who want aquatic recreation, remote-work infrastructure, and casual outdoor gathering space without stepping into the ultra-premium price tier of Living Shangri-La Toronto.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

How FastScreen aggregates public listing records, tracks active inventory, and calculates rental market metrics for Boutique Condos II.

Snapshot Dates & Benchmark Cadence

  • Standardized Snapshot: Market metrics reflect a standardized monthly snapshot locked as of August 31, 2026.
  • 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

  • Exclusively Public Records: Statistics are derived exclusively from publicly available rental listings and completed lease records. Private direct-to-landlord arrangements, unadvertised tenant renewals, and off-market rental agreements are not captured.
  • Agreed Contract Amounts: Reported lease amounts reflect agreed contract rents and do not account for private move-in allowances or individual unit renovations that may influence pricing spreads.
