Dorset Towers — Rental Market Data

Dorset Towers lists two active units as of August 31, 2026, with asking rents ranging from $2,200 to $2,300 per month and an average and median of $2,250. Both suites measure 850 square feet at an asking rate of $2.65 per square foot, and the entire active inventory is composed of two-bedroom layouts representing 100 percent of available units. The current offering leans squarely toward mid-size family suites rather than compact entry-level studios or larger executive configurations.

The dominant and sole active layout at Dorset Towers is the two-bedroom, with two units representing 100 percent of available inventory. Each two-bedroom suite averages 850 square feet at $2,250 per month and $2.65 per square foot, with no one-bedroom or three-bedroom tiers currently listed. Renters seeking alternative bedroom counts must look to the broader Scarborough North submarket, which holds 22 active listings across multiple buildings.

Dorset Towers shows a minimum entry rent of $2,200 per month and a peak asking rent of $2,300 per month, producing a dollar spread of $100 and a percentage spread of 4.5 percent. The median asking rent sits at $2,250 per month. The entry-level suite is a two-bedroom at 850 square feet priced at $2.59 per square foot, while the peak suite is also a two-bedroom at 850 square feet carrying a slightly higher rate of $2.71 per square foot.

Dorset Towers does not have quantified den premium data, as no paired active listings with and without a den are available to isolate the marginal cost of extra den space. Parking stall premiums also cannot be reliably isolated from the current sample, and no verified monthly parking add-on figure can be quoted to prospective renters.

Dorset Towers asks an average of $2,250 per month at $2.65 per square foot, compared to the Scarborough North submarket asking benchmark of $2,610 per month and $2.96 per square foot. The building's 850-square-foot footprint is comparable to submarket norms, so the roughly $360 monthly rent gap reflects a genuinely lower rate per square foot rather than a size advantage, positioning Dorset Towers at a 10.5 percent discount to the submarket asking rate. The building accounts for two out of 22 active listings in the Scarborough North submarket, representing approximately 9.1 percent of total available inventory.

Dorset Towers' average realized lease rent of $2,000 per month sits $218 below the four-comp benchmark of $2,218, placing it at the lower end of this immediate Scarborough North pocket. 5 Glamorgan (5 Glamorgan Avenue, 0.11 km, two closed leases) averaged $2,075 per month at $2.78 per square foot across 775 square feet, making the subject $75 lower per month. The Copenhagen Condos (1112 Glamorgan Avenue, 0.18 km, one closed lease) realized $2,250 per month at $3.00 per square foot over 750 square feet, a $250 monthly gap above the subject. Kennedy Place (100 Dundalk Drive, 0.46 km, two closed leases) closed at $2,300 per month, $2.55 per square foot, and 900 square feet—$300 higher than Dorset Towers' realized rent. 1181 Ellesmere (1181 Ellesmere Road, 1.1 km, two closed leases) recorded $2,245 per month at $2.81 per square foot across 800 square feet, leaving the subject $245 lower on a monthly basis. All four competitors posted active lease transactions, so each provides a realized pricing reference rather than an asking-only data point.

Dorset Towers leases at $2.35 per square foot across 850 square feet of average interior space, a rate 19.4% below the four-comp average of $2.79 per square foot and 25.4% below the Scarborough North submarket leased benchmark of $3.15 per square foot, while delivering more interior area than three of the four nearby alternatives. Against 5 Glamorgan, the subject trades at a $0.43 per square foot (15.5%) discount and provides 75 more interior square feet, meaning the lower nominal rent reflects a larger footprint rather than a weaker asset valuation. The Copenhagen Condos carry a $0.65 per square foot (21.7%) premium over the subject, and Dorset Towers offers 100 additional square feet in return. Kennedy Place is the one comp where the subject provides 50 fewer interior square feet, yet still trades at a $0.20 per square foot (7.8%) discount, so the $300 monthly rent gap is driven by both a smaller footprint and a lower per-foot rate. 1181 Ellesmere commands a $0.46 per square foot (16.4%) premium while the subject delivers 50 more square feet, reinforcing that the nominal rent differential here is a space trade-off rather than a quality penalty.

Dorset Towers fields a seven-item amenity suite—concierge and security, gym and fitness centre, sauna and steam room, party and lounge room, meeting room, games and billiards room, and an outdoor children's playground—that is materially broader than its closest peers but still narrower than the most amenity-dense competitor in the set. The building's sauna and steam room, games and billiards room, and dedicated meeting room are absent from 5 Glamorgan (which instead offers a shared laundry room and on-site day care) and from 1181 Ellesmere (limited to concierge and shared laundry). The Copenhagen Condos match the subject on gym and meeting room but add a media and theatre room and rec room that Dorset Towers does not carry, while lacking the sauna, billiards room, and outdoor playground. Kennedy Place is the closest amenity rival, sharing the gym, sauna, party room, meeting room, and playground, but distinguishes itself with a tennis and pickleball court and a pet wash station that the subject does not offer. The primary renter demographic best served by Dorset Towers' package is the cost-conscious family or small household seeking a full-service lifestyle building—fitness, social gathering space, and child-friendly outdoor play—without paying the premium associated with new-construction finishes or sports-court facilities.
