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

Sugar Wharf - East Tower delivers an extensive lifestyle and amenity profile that rivals top-tier master-planned developments in the Harbourfront node. Signature offerings at the subject building include an indoor pool, a dedicated spin studio, a basketball court, an indoor hammock lounge, and a comprehensive kids' play room, directly challenging competing facilities at nearby towers. For instance, Sugar Wharf - West Tower features a similar robust amenity package including a pet wash station, a business centre, and a basketball court, whereas Waterfront - Lighthouse Tower incorporates alternative recreational spaces such as tennis and pickleball courts alongside an outdoor pool. Pier 27 I leans into luxury wellness with a sauna, steam room, and hot tub, but lacks the contemporary sport and wellness mix found at the newer Menkes developments. This complete suite of amenities best serves young professionals, growing families, and fitness-oriented residents seeking comprehensive on-site recreation without leaving the building.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

How FastScreen aggregates public listing records, tracks active inventory, and calculates rental market metrics for Sugar Wharf - East Tower.

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.
