How do asking prices on de-listed suites compare to executed leases and active listings at Universal City Two?

Universal City Two unrented units asked an average of $2,299 per month, which was $201 per month below realized lease averages nominally, driven by smaller unit sizes. The rate-per-square-foot gap sat at $3.08 per square foot for delisted inventory compared to a lifetime average of $3.53 per square foot for leased units, demonstrating that prospective tenants rejected high density pricing on unrented layouts.

What market friction causes rental listings to stall or de-list at Universal City Two?

Universal City Two unrented listings lingered on the market for an average of 84 days before being pulled, compared to an average of 26 days for successfully leased units.

Comparable Analysis & Questions

How do rental rates at Universal City Two compare to neighbouring buildings within Pickering?

Universal City Two registers an average lease rent that aligns closely with the overall comp average of $2,472 per month, drawing from direct competition with modern master-planned towers along Bayly Street and Celebration Drive. Universal City - I (1480 Bayly St) recorded an average lease rent of $2,452 per month at $3.22 per square foot across an average of 774 square feet. Universal City Tower 3 (1435 Celebration Dr) leased at an average of $2,209 per month at $3.31 per square foot across an average of 676 square feet. SF3 - San Francisco by the Bay 3 (1245-1255 Bayly St) achieved an average lease rent of $2,378 per month at $3.26 per square foot across an average of 744 square feet.

Does Universal City Two offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?

Universal City Two establishes its value proposition through modern spatial efficiency, trading at $3.53 per square foot for an average suite size of 654 square feet against a submarket benchmark of $3.33 per square foot. Renters evaluating the subject building versus older alternatives like the 1997-built Village at the Pines trade away expansive, unoptimized square footage (1,100 square feet at $2.59 per square foot) in exchange for modern layouts, contemporary mechanical systems, and lower utility burdens. Compared to immediate new-build peers such as Universal City Tower 3 (676 square feet at $3.31 per square foot) and Universal City - I (774 square feet at $3.22 per square foot), Universal City Two delivers a comparable contemporary product where tenants pay for tightly engineered floor plates that minimize wasted hallway space while maximizing usable living areas.

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

Universal City Two delivers an extensive, master-planned lifestyle and amenity package that matches or exceeds the offerings found across competing modern developments in the Pickering node. The subject property distinguishes itself through five signature amenities: an Outdoor Pool, a dedicated Yoga Studio, a comprehensive Gym & Fitness Centre, a Rooftop Terrace, and the expansive Universal City Piazza. When contrasted against nearby peers, the building holds its own against Universal City - I's shared pool and terrace setup, while offering a more complete community feel than SF3 - San Francisco by the Bay 3, which features a Hot Tub & Jacuzzi and Media & Theatre Room but lacks a central piazza. Furthermore, while Universal City Tower 3 incorporates a Pet Wash Station, Universal City Two counters with robust business and social infrastructure including a Tech Lounge, Business Centre, and Games & Billiards Room. This amenity profile particularly serves young professionals, couples, and commuters seeking turnkey urban conveniences without traveling into downtown Toronto.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

How FastScreen aggregates public listing records, tracks active inventory, and calculates rental market metrics for Universal City Two.

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.
