Comparable Analysis & Questions

How do rental rates at Chateau Royale compare to neighbouring buildings within Central Hamilton?

Chateau Royale achieves an average lease rent of $2,146 per month, positioning it above the broader multi-comp average of $1,632 per month while tracking closely with high-amenity peers like The Chelsea. Individual competitor benchmarks include The Chelsea at 24 Augusta Street, which reports an average lease rent of $2,503 per month at $2.96 per square foot across an average of 849 square feet; 156 James Street S, averaging $1,200 per month at $3.34 per square foot across 338 square feet; The Oscar on Bold at 27 Bold Street, averaging $1,575 per month at $2.17 per square foot across 727 square feet; and 119 Macnab Street, averaging $1,250 per month at $3.79 per square foot across 330 square feet.

Does Chateau Royale offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?

Chateau Royale delivers an appealing value proposition by offering an average leased rate of $2.65 per square foot across generous average suite sizes of 854 square feet, undercutting micro-market density benchmarks where smaller units often command higher per-square-foot rates. Renters at Chateau Royale trade away the ultra-compact layouts found in heritage conversions or micro-units—such as 156 James Street S at 338 square feet ($3.34 per square foot) and 119 Macnab Street at 330 square feet ($3.79 per square foot)—in favor of providing more interior square footage. At the same time, the building offers a more accessible price point per square foot than premium newer constructions like The Oscar on Bold, which averages $2.17 per square foot on smaller layouts, giving tenants expansive interior volume without a top-tier luxury surcharge.

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

Chateau Royale delivers a comprehensive lifestyle and amenity package that surpasses most surrounding alternatives, featuring a concierge and security service, a rooftop terrace, a party and lounge room, a gym and fitness centre, and a dedicated yoga studio. In contrast, nearby competitors offer more limited or specialized features: The Chelsea includes a rooftop terrace, fitness centre, concierge, and community-wide Wi-Fi; The Oscar on Bold provides a rooftop terrace, BBQ area, and concierge; 119 Macnab Street offers only a shared laundry room; and 156 James Street S features no listed building amenities. This robust amenity suite makes Chateau Royale well-suited for urban professionals and households seeking full-service building infrastructure combined with spacious floor plans.

How FastScreen aggregates public listing records, tracks active inventory, and calculates rental market metrics for Chateau Royale.

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.
