Hemispheres I — Rental Market Data

Hemispheres I at 133 Torresdale Ave has three active rental listings as of August 31, 2026, spanning a price range of $2,899 to $3,500 per month with an average asking rent of $3,200 and a median of $3,200. The average suite size across these listings is 1,267 square feet at an average asking rate of $2.55 per square foot. The 2-Bedroom + Den layout dominates the active inventory at 66.7 percent of available units, indicating that current supply leans toward spacious two-bedroom-plus-den configurations rather than compact entry-level one-bedrooms or multi-bedroom executive plans.

The dominant active layout at Hemispheres I is the 2-Bedroom + Den, with two listings representing 66.7 percent of available inventory at an average asking rent of $3,050 per month across 1,150 square feet and a rate of $2.65 per square foot. The remaining 33.3 percent is a single 3-Bedroom+ listing asking $3,500 per month for 1,500 square feet at $2.33 per square foot. No one-bedroom or studio units are currently on the market, so renters seeking smaller footprints must look to other Willowdale buildings.

Hemispheres I's active asking rents range from a minimum of $2,899 per month to a peak of $3,500 per month, producing a dollar spread of $601 and a percentage spread of 20.7 percent. The median asking rent sits at $3,200 per month. The entry-level listing is a 2-Bedroom + Den at 1,100 square feet asking $2.64 per square foot, while the peak listing is a 3-Bedroom+ at 1,500 square feet asking $2.33 per square foot, meaning the larger suite carries a lower per-square-foot rate despite the higher nominal rent.

Hemispheres I's active den premium and associated square-footage delta cannot be quantified from the current paired sample, so no marginal cost per square foot for den space can be stated. Active parking stall premiums also cannot be reliably isolated due to an insufficient paired sample or anomalous outlier in the data; renters should request a direct parking quote from the leasing office rather than rely on a platform-derived figure.

Hemispheres I's average asking rent of $3,200 per month exceeds the Willowdale submarket average asking rent of $2,755 per month by $445, yet the building's average rate of $2.55 per square foot sits 38.1 percent below the submarket asking benchmark of $4.12 per square foot. This nominal-rent premium is fully explained by suite size: Hemispheres I's average active listing spans 1,267 square feet, well above the typical Willowdale unit, so the per-square-foot cost is materially more competitive. The building currently holds three of the 19 active listings tracked across the Willowdale submarket, representing approximately 15.8 percent of available inventory in the area.

Hemispheres I has no closed lease transactions in the trailing 180 days, so a realized-rent spread against the overall comp benchmark of $3,231 per month cannot be calculated; the closest reference point is the building's current average asking rent of $3,200 per month, which sits $31 below the comp average. Among active competitors, Hemispheres II at 131 Torresdale Ave (0.1 km, three closed leases) realized an average rent of $3,817 per month at $5.27 per square foot across 888 square feet of interior space. The Savoy at 10 Torresdale Ave (0.64 km, four closed leases) averaged $3,075 per month at $2.46 per square foot over 1,255 square feet. The Primrose II at 1121 Steeles Ave W (1.29 km, one closed lease) recorded an average rent of $2,800 per month at $2.55 per square foot across 1,100 square feet. Courtland B at 90 Fisherville Rd (1.24 km) recorded zero lease transactions over the trailing 180 days and therefore has no realized rent benchmark to compare against.

Hemispheres I's active asking rate of $2.55 per square foot sits well below the four-building comp average of $3.43 per square foot, while its average suite of 1,267 square feet exceeds the comp mean of 1,081 square feet by roughly 17 percent, meaning the subject trades at a discount on a per-square-foot basis against the submarket benchmark while delivering a larger interior footprint than most nearby alternatives. Against Hemispheres II, which realized $5.27 per square foot across a compact 888 square feet, the subject offers 379 additional square feet at a substantially lower rate per square foot, making the nominal monthly rent gap a function of the much smaller competitor footprint rather than a premium on the subject's asset value. The Savoy, at $2.46 per square foot over 1,255 square feet, presents a near-identical per-square-foot rate to the subject's asking but with 12 fewer square feet, so the value proposition is essentially a lateral trade-off with The Savoy carrying a slightly lower realized rent. The Primrose II at $2.55 per square foot across 1,100 square feet matches the subject's asking rate exactly but provides 167 fewer square feet, reinforcing that the subject's larger footprint is the primary differentiator in this pocket. Courtland B, with zero closed leases in the trailing 180 days, offers no realized pricing data and serves only as a structural reference for the 1978-era construction standard in the area.

Hemispheres I provides a ten-item lifestyle package—concierge and security, gym and fitness centre, outdoor pool, party and lounge room, meeting room, games and billiards room, sauna and steam room, tennis and pickleball court, garden and courtyard, and BBQ area—that positions it as a full-service residential building within its immediate peer set. The subject's outdoor pool is a distinguishing feature relative to The Savoy at 10 Torresdale Ave, which offers an indoor pool instead, and aligns with Hemispheres II's outdoor pool offering. However, the subject lacks the hot tub and jacuzzi found at both Hemispheres II and The Savoy, does not include the squash and racquetball court available at The Savoy and The Primrose II, and is missing the car wash bay and media and theatre room that Hemispheres II provides. In return, the subject's games and billiards room is absent from The Primrose II's amenity list, and its BBQ area is not offered at Courtland B or The Primrose II. The combination of an outdoor pool, dedicated pickleball and tennis court, sauna, and a full meeting and games suite makes Hemispheres I best suited to active, mid-career professionals and small families who prioritize outdoor recreation, fitness, and social gathering space over the indoor aquatic or racquet-sport offerings of its 1989-era neighbours.
