How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at Pace?

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

Pace at 159 Dundas St E operates alongside an active competitive set in the Downtown East micro-market, featuring Grid Condos at 181 Dundas St E (0.05 km away, built in 2018 with 90 active leases), Max Condos at 77 Mutual St (0.06 km away, built in 2021 with 51 active leases), Dundas Square Gardens at 251 Jarvis St (0.08 km away, built in 2020 with 113 active leases), and Ivy Condos at 65 Mutual St (0.12 km away, built in 2024 with 31 active leases). Built in 2016, the subject building represents an established mid-decade construction era, contrasting with newer post-2020 additions like Max Condos, Dundas Square Gardens, and Ivy Condos, as well as the 2018-completed Grid Condos. Across this four-building competitive cluster, the overall comp benchmarks average $2,365 per month at $4.25 per square foot across an average suite size of 566 square feet. Pace positions itself as a larger-format, competitively priced alternative within this cluster, offering an average lease size of 653 square feet while maintaining a lower average lease rate per square foot ($3.93 per square foot all-time) compared to the surrounding peer group. This structural age and scale advantage allows the subject building to deliver more interior space at a lower per-square-foot cost than its direct, tighter-footprint neighbours.

Max Condos (77 Mutual St) records an average lease rent of $2,403 per month at $4.33 per square foot across 567 square feet.

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

Pace establishes its value proposition by offering an average lease rate of $3.93 per square foot across an average footprint of 653 square feet, trading at a discount per square foot relative to the micro-market comp average of $4.25 per square foot and the broader submarket asking benchmark of $4.36 per square foot. Renters at the subject building trade newer completion dates for significantly larger living spaces—providing 653 square feet compared to Grid Condos' 563 square feet ($4.13 per square foot), Max Condos' 567 square feet ($4.33 per square foot), Dundas Square Gardens' 511 square feet ($4.28 per square foot), and Ivy Condos' 624 square feet ($4.24 per square foot). This configuration grants incoming tenants substantially more interior square footage without carrying the heavier square-foot cost burdens seen in newer, more compact competitor towers.

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

Pace provides a comprehensive lifestyle and amenity package that stands competitively against newer builds in the immediate Downtown East node. The building features signature amenities including a concierge and security service, a gym and fitness centre, a yoga studio, an outdoor pool, and a rooftop terrace with BBQ areas. When contrasted with nearby peers, the subject building matches or exceeds offerings such as Grid Condos' pet wash station and spin studio, Max Condos' business centre and games room, Dundas Square Gardens' shared laundry and hot tub facilities, and Ivy Condos' EV charging stations and bike repair shop. This robust amenity profile caters exceptionally well to downtown professionals and urban renters seeking resort-style outdoor space and fitness amenities combined with larger floor plans.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

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

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.
