Artworks – East Tower at 130 River Street in Toronto's Downtown East submarket is a 350-suite residential building completed in 2023 by Daniels Corporation. As of August 31, 2026, four units are actively listed for rent, representing a 1.1 percent availability rate. The building closed seven leases in the trailing 30 days at an average of $2,406 per month with a 25-day average time on market, and nineteen leases over the past 90 days averaging $2,508 per month with a 20-day average DOM.

Active asking rents average $2,220 per month at $4.60 per square foot across a mean suite size of 491 square feet, compared to realized 90-day lease rents of $2,508 per month at $4.03 per square foot over 656 square feet of average footprint. The current listings therefore carry a higher rate per square foot than historical closed leases while offering a notably more compact floor plan. Against the Downtown East submarket asking benchmark of $4.36 per square foot, Artworks – East Tower sits 5.5 percent above the neighborhood rate, even though its nominal monthly rent of $2,220 falls below the submarket average asking rent of $2,636.

Marketing friction at Artworks – East Tower warrants attention: active listings have sat an average of 45 days on market, nearly double the Downtown East submarket average of 24 days, despite zero delistings or expirations in the tracked period. Tenants negotiating across all 28 closed leases secured an average discount of $26 per month, or 0.9 percent below asking, with 32.1 percent of transactions closing under the initial list price. Inventory depth is thin; three one-bedroom units offer a small selection at the entry tier, while the single one-bedroom-plus-den listing represents a one-of-a-kind option with no comparable alternative currently available.

Three of the four units are one-bedrooms (75 percent of active inventory), while the remaining listing is a one-bedroom-plus-den at 650 square feet, meaning current availability skews toward compact entry-level layouts rather than multi-bedroom executive plans.

What floor plans and unit layouts are currently available at Artworks - East Tower?

The dominant active layout at Artworks – East Tower is the one-bedroom, with three units representing 75 percent of available inventory at an average asking rent of $2,127 per month, 438 square feet, and $4.85 per square foot. The single one-bedroom-plus-den listing accounts for the remaining 25 percent, asking $2,500 per month over 650 square feet at $3.85 per square foot. No two-bedroom or larger configurations are currently on the market.

What is the average asking rent and $/SF by suite size at Artworks - East Tower?

Artworks – East Tower's active asking rents span from a minimum of $1,840 per month to a peak of $2,700 per month, a dollar spread of $860 and a percentage spread of 46.7 percent. The median asking rent sits at $2,170 per month. The entry-level suite is a 364-square-foot one-bedroom priced at $5.05 per square foot, while the peak listing is a 550-square-foot one-bedroom asking $4.91 per square foot, showing that the highest rent does not correspond to the largest footprint in this small sample.

How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at Artworks - East Tower?

Artworks – East Tower's active den premium is quantified at $373 per month for an additional 212 square feet of space, translating to a marginal cost of $1.76 per square foot for the extra den area. Active parking premiums cannot be reliably isolated due to an insufficient paired sample of listed units with confirmed parking assignments, so no specific monthly parking figure can be quoted for current listings. Historical lease data does confirm a verified parking premium of $303 per month across closed transactions.

How do asking rents at Artworks - East Tower compare to local and municipal benchmarks?

Artworks – East Tower's average asking rent of $2,220 per month at $4.60 per square foot compares to the Downtown East submarket average asking rent of $2,636 per month at $4.36 per square foot. The building's nominal rent is lower than the submarket average because its active suites average 491 square feet versus the broader market's larger footprints, yet the per-square-foot rate runs 5.5 percent above the submarket asking benchmark. Artworks – East Tower accounts for four out of 192 available listings in the Downtown East submarket, a 2.1 percent share of total active inventory.

Leased Transaction Insights & Questions

How many suites were leased at Artworks - East Tower last month, and how fast did they rent?

Artworks – East Tower at 130 River St closed 7 leases in the trailing 30 days at an average 25 days on market, compared to a 20-day average over the prior 90 days and a 24-day Downtown East submarket benchmark. The 90-day window captured 19 closings, and the full trailing year logged 28 total leases, indicating leasing cadence accelerated into summer rather than pausing. Turnover is healthy for a 350-suite building with only 1.1% availability, and the 30-day DOM sits just one day above the submarket average, confirming Artworks – East Tower is clearing inventory at or near market pace.

What is the negotiation spread between asking rents and closed lease prices at Artworks - East Tower?

Artworks – East Tower tenants negotiated an average discount of $26 per month (0.9% below asking), translating to $312 in annual savings per lease across the tracked portfolio. Thirty-two point one percent of all 28 closed leases settled under the listed asking price, confirming measurable tenant leverage and landlord concession in this submarket. The net negotiation spread of -$26 per month is modest but consistent, signalling that while Artworks – East Tower holds firm on list pricing, motivated landlords will concede roughly one percent to close a file.

What are typical executed lease prices across different layouts at Artworks - East Tower?

The 1-Bedroom and 3-Bedroom+ layouts anchor Artworks – East Tower's leasing volume, with 14 one-bedroom leases averaging $2,065 per month at 27 DOM and five three-bedroom-plus leases averaging $3,605 per month at 32 DOM. The 2-Bedroom tier recorded four closings at an average of $2,888 per month (median $2,875, P25–P75 range $2,838 to $2,925), averaging 675 square feet at $4.30 per square foot and 27 DOM; this is a limited sample size and serves as a directional indicator only. Two 1-Bedroom + Den leases closed at an average of $2,575 per month across 600 square feet at $4.31 per square foot with just 11 DOM, also a small sample for directional reference. Two 2-Bedroom + Den units leased at $3,175 per month over 938 square feet at $3.38 per square foot and 25 DOM, again a small sample. A single Studio lease closed at $1,700 per month for 400 square feet at $4.25 per square foot with 9 DOM; this represents an individual single transaction, not a broad statistical benchmark.

What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at Artworks - East Tower?

Artworks – East Tower realized a verified leased parking premium of $303 per month, confirming that tenants are paying a meaningful add-on for a stall on top of suite rent. Active listing data does not support a reliable parking premium figure due to an anomalous outlier or insufficient paired sample, so the $303 verified lease value remains the only defensible benchmark. The bundling pattern suggests parking is priced as a discrete line item rather than folded into suite rent, giving prospective tenants a clear per-month comparison against street or garage alternatives in the Downtown East corridor.

How does the lease-to-listing ratio at Artworks - East Tower reflect current tenant demand?

Artworks – East Tower rents trended upward from spring through late summer 2026, with the average closed lease climbing from $2,183 in April to a peak of $2,913 in May before settling at $2,406 by August. April saw three closings at $2,183 per month and $3.99 per square foot with 18 DOM. May jumped to six deals at $2,913 per month but at a lower $3.84 per square foot, indicating the nominal increase reflects larger suite footprints rather than a density repricing. June moderated to four closings at $2,280 per month and $3.73 per square foot with 22 DOM. July accelerated to eight deals at $2,713 per month and $4.04 per square foot with just 14 DOM, the fastest absorption in the tracked period. August closed seven leases at $2,406 per month and $4.19 per square foot with 25 DOM; the nominal drop from July reflects compact suite footprints rather than property devaluation, as the per-square-foot rate actually rose.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory

Artworks – East Tower at 130 River St realizes an average lease rent of $2,560 per month, sitting $131 above the Downtown East submarket average of $2,429, while its $3.99 per square foot rate trails the submarket's $4.23 per square foot by 4.7%. This combination tells a clear story: Artworks – East Tower's suite mix skews toward larger footprints (656 square feet average) that command a rent premium in absolute dollars but deliver a more competitive per-square-foot value to tenants compared with the broader Downtown East inventory. On pricing discipline, 32.1% of the 28 tracked leases closed below asking, producing a net tenant discount of $26 per month (0.9%) and $312 in annualized savings per lease. The negotiation direction is firmly tenant-favorable, with landlords conceding roughly one percent to close files rather than holding units vacant. This modest but consistent concession pattern indicates Artworks – East Tower landlords are willing to flex on price when a unit has been on market beyond the 20-to-25-day comfort zone, giving prospective tenants a realistic negotiating window of one to two percent off list.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

Direct rental rate comparisons against residential properties in the immediate vicinity.

Artworks - East Tower at 130 River St sits in a tight cluster of four nearby comparables within 120 metres, spanning completion eras from 2007 to 2023. Tannery Lofts at 736 Dundas St E (0.07 km, built 2007) recorded one closed lease over the trailing 180 days; Artsy - Artworks West Tower at 35 Tubman Ave (0.07 km, built 2023) logged 14 closed leases; DuEast Boutique - East at 34 Tubman Ave (0.1 km, built 2021) closed 7 leases; and The Wyatt at 20 Tubman Ave (0.12 km, built 2019) recorded 17 closed leases. All four competitors show active transaction volume, with the two Tubman Avenue buildings (Artsy West and The Wyatt) generating the heaviest lease flow at a combined 31 closed transactions, while the 2007-era Tannery Lofts and the 2021 DuEast Boutique represent lower-volume reference points. The four-comp benchmark averages $2,397 per month in realized rent, $4.02 per square foot, and 603 square feet of interior space. Artworks - East Tower's all-time leased average of $2,560 per month and 656 square feet places it above the comp set on both total rent and footprint, while its $3.99 per square foot rate sits marginally below the $4.02 benchmark. The building's 2023 completion aligns it with Artsy West as the newest asset in this pocket, and its 350-suite scale gives it a volume advantage over the smaller neighbouring towers. Against the Downtown East submarket average of $2,429 per month and $4.23 per square foot, the subject trades at a modest rent premium but a rate-per-square-foot discount, reflecting its larger suite footprints as the primary driver of the higher nominal lease.

Does Artworks - East Tower offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?

Artworks - East Tower leases at $3.99 per square foot across an average 656 square feet, positioning it at a slight rate discount to the comp benchmark of $4.02 per square foot while delivering materially more interior space than three of four nearby alternatives. Against Tannery Lofts, the subject trades at a $0.19 per square foot (4.5%) discount while providing 106 more interior square feet, meaning the $260 higher monthly rent is driven entirely by the larger footprint rather than a higher rate. Versus Artsy - Artworks West Tower, the subject offers a $0.04 per square foot (1.0%) discount and 6 fewer square feet, resulting in a marginally lower $28 monthly rent. Against DuEast Boutique - East, the subject commands a $0.08 per square foot (2.0%) premium and 56 more square feet, so both the higher rate and the larger suite contribute to the $224 rent gap. The Wyatt presents a similar dynamic: the subject carries a $0.03 per square foot (0.8%) premium alongside 55 additional square feet, driving the $198 higher rent through both rate and size.

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

Artworks - East Tower offers a 12-feature amenity suite spanning fitness, social, business, and family programming, placing it in the upper tier of this immediate peer set. The building's outdoor Children's Playground and Garden & Courtyard are absent from Tannery Lofts (which provides only concierge and security), Artsy - Artworks West Tower, and The Wyatt, giving families a dedicated outdoor recreation space no direct competitor matches. DuEast Boutique - East counters with a Pet Wash Station, Art Studio, and Media & Theatre Room that the subject does not include, while The Wyatt adds a Rock Climbing Wall and Meeting Room not found at 130 River St. The subject's combination of an indoor Kids' Play Room, outdoor playground, dining room, business centre, and rooftop terrace best serves young professionals and small families seeking a full-service lifestyle building without the niche specialty features (climbing, pet grooming, art studio) that define its closest Tubman Avenue rivals.

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.
