DuPont Loft Residences — Rental Market Data

DuPont Loft Residences lists two active units as of August 31, 2026, with asking rents ranging from $1,550 to $1,700 per month and an average and median of $1,625. The average asking suite measures 475 square feet at a blended rate of $3.48 per square foot. Both active listings are single-transaction tiers: one studio at 400 square feet and one one-bedroom at 550 square feet, meaning inventory is split evenly between compact entry-level and single-bedroom layouts rather than skewing toward multi-bedroom executive units.

The dominant active layout at DuPont Loft Residences is the one-bedroom, with one listing representing 50 percent of available inventory at an average asking rent of $1,700 per month across 550 square feet and a rate of $3.09 per square foot. The studio tier mirrors that share with one unit at $1,550 per month, 400 square feet, and $3.88 per square foot. Both tiers are single-listing samples, so neither offers a comparative spread within the building.

DuPont Loft Residences shows a minimum entry rent of $1,550 per month and a peak asking rent of $1,700 per month, producing a $150 spread or 9.7 percent range across its two active units. The median asking rent sits at $1,625 per month. The entry-level suite is a 400-square-foot studio priced at $3.88 per square foot, while the peak listing is a 550-square-foot one-bedroom at $3.09 per square foot, illustrating how the larger footprint dilutes the per-area rate despite the higher absolute rent.

DuPont Loft Residences does not have quantified den premium data, as no active listings include a separate den configuration to isolate marginal cost per square foot. Parking stall premiums also cannot be reliably isolated from the current sample; the paired data is either anomalous or too thin to produce a defensible monthly figure, so no parking add-on cost is quoted for active listings.

DuPont Loft Residences asks an average of $1,625 per month at $3.48 per square foot, compared to the Dovercourt submarket asking benchmark of $2,609 per month and $3.89 per square foot. The 10.5 percent discount on a per-square-foot basis is the primary driver of the lower nominal rent, as current active suites average 475 square feet versus the submarket's larger typical footprint. The building represents two out of 17 available listings in the Dovercourt submarket, or roughly 12 percent of total active inventory in the area.

DuPont Loft Residences realized an average lease rent of $1,729 per month across seven closed transactions in the trailing year, which is $567 below the four-comp benchmark of $2,296 and well under the Dovercourt submarket average of $2,456. Chelsea Lofts at 1375 Dupont Street (0.05 km) closed 1 lease at an average of $2,375 per month ($3.65 per square foot, 650 square feet); Fuse at 1410 Dupont Street (0.1 km) closed 10 leases averaging $2,263 per month ($3.65 per square foot, 620 square feet); UpsidedownCondos – I at 816 Lansdowne Avenue (0.1 km) closed 6 leases at $2,384 per month ($3.59 per square foot, 665 square feet); and Fuse 2 at 1420 Dupont Street (0.14 km) closed 12 leases at $2,160 per month ($3.78 per square foot, 572 square feet). Every competitor posted a higher realized rent than the subject, with the spread ranging from $431 (Fuse 2) to $655 (UpsidedownCondos – I), confirming that the subject's 2000-era pricing sits at the lower end of this immediate cluster.

DuPont Loft Residences leases at $2.87 per square foot with an average suite of 607 square feet, placing it at a discount below every active competitor in this Dupont Street micro-market and roughly $0.80 per square foot under the four-comp average of $3.67. Against Chelsea Lofts (0.05 km), the subject trades at a $0.78 per square foot discount while providing 43 fewer interior square feet, so the lower nominal rent of $646 per month reflects both a smaller footprint and a genuinely cheaper rate per unit of space. Fuse (0.1 km) shows the same pattern: the subject offers a $0.78 per square foot discount and 13 fewer square feet, with the $534 monthly savings driven by both the tighter layout and the lower per-foot pricing. UpsidedownCondos – I (0.1 km) widens the gap to a $0.72 per square foot discount and 58 fewer square feet, producing the largest nominal spread at $655 per month. Fuse 2 (0.14 km) presents the most favorable trade-off for the subject: despite a $0.91 per square foot discount, the subject actually delivers 35 more interior square feet than Fuse 2's 572-square-foot average, meaning a renter pays $431 less per month while gaining additional living area—a clear value advantage that no other comp in this set replicates.

DuPont Loft Residences offers a practical, service-oriented amenity package—concierge and security, a gym and fitness centre, a games and billiards room, a media and theatre room, on-site retail, and a shared laundry room—that contrasts sharply with the lifestyle-heavy profiles of its four nearby competitors. Chelsea Lofts (1375 Dupont Street) adds a rooftop terrace, BBQ area, garden and courtyard, party and lounge room, and meeting room that the subject does not provide; Fuse (1410 Dupont Street) layers on a yoga studio, rooftop terrace, BBQ area, library and reading room, and party and lounge room beyond what the subject offers; UpsidedownCondos – I (816 Lansdowne Avenue) differentiates with a sauna and steam room, basketball court, yoga studio, his-and-hers changing rooms, and BBQ area; and Fuse 2 (1420 Dupont Street) stands out with an indoor pool, sauna and steam room, rooftop terrace, yoga studio, and library. The subject's on-site retail and shared laundry room are the two amenities genuinely absent from Chelsea Lofts, Fuse, and UpsidedownCondos – I, giving it a day-to-day convenience edge for renters who prioritize grocery access and in-building laundry over rooftop social spaces or aquatic facilities. This package best serves cost-conscious professionals and young households in the Dovercourt area who want a secure, low-maintenance base with essential fitness and recreation access without paying the premium that rooftop terraces, pools, and wellness suites command at the 2014-to-2017 generation buildings across the street.
