DeveloperCatkey (Toronto) Construction Ltd.

Forest Glen I at 1964 Main St W in Hamilton's Dundas submarket is a 116-suite residential building completed in 1972 by Catkey (Toronto) Construction Ltd., currently showing two active listings for an availability rate of 1.7 percent. The building recorded one closed lease in the trailing 30 days at an average of $2,855 per month with a 71-day time on market, and two closed leases over the past 90 days averaging $2,603 per month with a 67-day average DOM.

The two active suites ask an average of $2,900 per month at $2.70 per square foot across 1,075 square feet on average, compared to the building's all-time realized lease average of $2,603 per month at $2.98 per square foot over 900 square feet. Current listings therefore carry a larger footprint than historical leases while trading at a lower per-square-foot rate, meaning the higher nominal rent reflects expansive suite sizing rather than a rate premium. Against the Dundas submarket asking benchmark of $3.32 per square foot, Forest Glen I's active inventory prices 18.7 percent below the broader market on a rate basis.

Marketing friction is moderate: the two active listings have averaged 22 days on market, well under the submarket benchmark of 40 days, yet the most recent closed lease required 71 days to convert, signaling some leasing deceleration at the transaction level. Across all tracked closed transactions, tenants negotiated an average discount of $148 per month, or 5.58 percent below asking, with 100 percent of leases closing under the listed price. Active inventory is limited to two three-bedroom-plus units, offering a small selection in a single layout tier with no one- or two-bedroom options currently available.

Active Market Insights & Questions

How has rental availability changed at Forest Glen I recently?

Forest Glen I has two active listings as of August 31, 2026, with asking rents ranging from $2,800 to $3,000 per month, an average of $2,900, and a median of $2,900. Both available suites average 1,075 square feet at $2.70 per square foot, and 100 percent of active inventory falls in the three-bedroom-plus tier. The current listing pool leans entirely toward larger multi-bedroom executive layouts rather than compact entry-level suites, reflecting a building whose historical lease base was dominated by two-bedroom units.

What floor plans and unit layouts are currently available at Forest Glen I?

The sole active layout at Forest Glen I is the three-bedroom-plus tier, accounting for both available units and 100 percent of active inventory. Each of the two listings averages $2,900 per month over 1,075 square feet at $2.70 per square foot, with no one-bedroom or two-bedroom suites currently on the market. Renters seeking smaller footprints will need to look to other buildings within the Dundas submarket, where 61 active listings are available across a broader range of bedroom configurations.

What is the average asking rent and $/SF by suite size at Forest Glen I?

Forest Glen I's active asking rents span from a minimum of $2,800 to a peak of $3,000 per month, a dollar spread of $200 or 7.1 percent. The median asking rent sits at $2,900 per month. The entry-level listing is a three-bedroom-plus suite of 1,050 square feet at $2.67 per square foot, while the peak listing is a three-bedroom-plus unit of 1,100 square feet at $2.73 per square foot, confirming that the modest spread is driven by a 50-square-foot difference in suite size rather than a layout-tier jump.

How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at Forest Glen I?

Forest Glen I does not have quantified den premiums or square-footage deltas for active listings, as no paired den versus non-den data is available in the current sample. Parking stall costs also cannot be reliably isolated from the available transaction data, and no verified monthly parking add-on figure can be quoted for either active or recently leased units. Prospective renters should request a direct parking quote from the property manager before signing a lease.

How do asking rents at Forest Glen I compare to local and municipal benchmarks?

Forest Glen I's active asking average of $2,900 per month at $2.70 per square foot compares to the Dundas submarket asking benchmark of $2,352 per month at $3.32 per square foot. The building's nominal rent runs $548 higher than the submarket average, but this variance is fully explained by suite size: Forest Glen I's active units average 1,075 square feet versus the submarket implied average of 708 square feet, a 367-square-foot advantage. On a per-square-foot basis, the building trades 18.7 percent below the submarket asking rate, and its two active listings represent 2 out of 61 total available units in the Dundas submarket.

Leased Transaction Insights & Questions

How many suites were leased at Forest Glen I last month, and how fast did they rent?

Forest Glen I at 1964 Main St W closed one lease in the trailing 30 days with a 71-day DOM, compared to a 67-day average over the trailing 90 days and a submarket benchmark of 40 days. The building recorded two total closed leases over the past year, one in each of the last two months, indicating leasing turnover remains slow relative to the Dundas submarket pace. With only 116 suites and a 1.7% availability rate, the limited transaction cadence reflects a near-saturated inventory rather than a leasing acceleration.

What is the negotiation spread between asking rents and closed lease prices at Forest Glen I?

Forest Glen I tenants negotiated an average discount of $148 per month (5.58% below asking), saving $1,776 per year across tracked leases. 100% of closed transactions settled under the listed asking price, confirming consistent tenant leverage and landlord concession in this small sample. The net negotiation spread of -$148 per month signals that landlords at this building are willing to move on price to close deals rather than hold units vacant.

What are typical executed lease prices across different layouts at Forest Glen I?

Forest Glen I's two highest-volume anchor layouts are the 2-Bedroom and 3-Bedroom+ tiers, each representing one closed lease (50% share) in this limited sample. The 2-Bedroom tier closed at $2,350 per month on a 700-square-foot suite, equating to $3.36 per square foot with a 62-day DOM. This is an individual single transaction and does not represent a broad statistical benchmark. The 3-Bedroom+ tier closed at $2,855 per month on a 1,100-square-foot suite, equating to $2.60 per square foot with a 71-day DOM. This is also an individual single transaction and should not be read as a market-wide rate.

What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at Forest Glen I?

Forest Glen I does not have sufficient paired lease data to isolate a verified parking premium per month. Parking appears bundled into suite rents rather than listed as a separate line item in the two tracked transactions. Active asking listings also show unreliable or insufficient paired samples for parking, so no defensible parking dollar figure can be quoted for this building.

How does the lease-to-listing ratio at Forest Glen I reflect current tenant demand?

Forest Glen I shows a rising nominal rent trajectory from July to August 2026, climbing from $2,350 to $2,855 per month. In July 2026, one lease closed at $2,350 per month on a 700-square-foot suite ($3.36 per square foot) with a 62-day DOM. In August 2026, one lease closed at $2,855 per month on a 1,100-square-foot suite ($2.60 per square foot) with a 71-day DOM. The nominal rent increase reflects the shift to a larger suite footprint rather than a like-for-like rate hike; the per-square-foot rate actually declined from $3.36 to $2.60.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory

Forest Glen I's realized average rent of $2,603 per month sits $352 above the Dundas submarket lease average of $2,251, while its $2.98 per square foot rate trades $0.22 below the submarket's $3.20 per square foot benchmark. Active asking inventory at $2,900 per month on 1,075-square-foot suites is 367 square feet larger than the submarket implied average of 708 square feet, meaning the higher nominal rent is driven by expansive suite size rather than a density premium. The building's per-square-foot positioning at a 6.9% discount to submarket lease rates suggests tenants are paying for footprint, not density. Pricing discipline at Forest Glen I skews firmly toward tenant leverage. 100% of tracked leases closed below asking, with an average concession of $148 per month (5.58%) and an annualized tenant savings of $1,776 per year. This consistent discount pattern indicates landlords are prioritizing occupancy over holding price, a concession posture that likely reflects the building's 71-day 30-day DOM versus the submarket's 40-day norm. No premium or at-asking transactions were recorded in this sample.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

Direct rental rate comparisons against residential properties in the immediate vicinity.

Forest Glen I at 1964 Main St W sits in a tight cluster of four nearby comparables along the Main Street West corridor in Hamilton's Dundas submarket. The closest active peer is 1950 Main West at 1950 Main St W, just 0.07 kilometres away and built in 1999, which recorded 4 closed leases over the trailing 180 days. Forest Glen II (1966 Main St W, 0.08 km) and Forest Glen III (1968 Main St W, 0.15 km), both completed in 1972 alongside the subject, logged 1 and 2 closed leases respectively. The fourth reference point, 57 Mericourt Road at 0.66 km with a 2026 completion date, closed 1 lease in the same window. All four competitors carry active transaction volume, giving a workable pricing benchmark across three structural generations: the 1972 Forest Glen trio, the late-1990s 1950 Main West, and the forthcoming 2026 Mericourt build. Across the four-comparable set, the overall average realized rent is $2,294 per month at $2.54 per square foot for an average suite of 906 square feet. Forest Glen I's realized lease data—$2,603 per month at $2.98 per square foot for 900 square feet—places the subject above the comp average on both rate and rent while matching the mid-range footprint. Against the Dundas submarket benchmark of $2,251 per month and $3.20 per square foot, the subject trades at a discount on the per-square-foot rate but commands a higher nominal rent, a spread driven by its 900-square-foot average suite exceeding the submarket implied average of 708 square feet. The building's 1972 construction gives it a mid-century structural profile that, paired with a full amenity suite including an indoor pool and tennis court, differentiates it from both the compact 1999-era 1950 Main West and the minimal-amenity 2026 Mericourt build.

Comparable Analysis & Questions

How do rental rates at Forest Glen I compare to neighbouring buildings within Dundas?

Forest Glen I's average realized lease rent of $2,603 per month sits $309 above the four-comparable benchmark of $2,294, with the spread driven by two lower-rent peers pulling the average down. 1950 Main West at 1950 Main St W (0.07 km, 4 closed leases) realized $1,863 per month at $2.75 per square foot for 679 square feet, placing the subject $740 higher in nominal rent. Forest Glen II at 1966 Main St W (0.08 km, 1 closed lease) closed at $2,850 per month, $247 above the subject. Forest Glen III at 1968 Main St W (0.15 km, 2 closed leases) realized $2,663 per month, $60 above the subject. 57 Mericourt Road (0.66 km, 1 closed lease) recorded $1,800 per month, with the subject commanding $803 more in monthly rent. All four comparables carry at least one closed lease transaction, so each provides a realized pricing reference rather than a zero-volume architectural placeholder.

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

Forest Glen I leases at $2.98 per square foot for an average 900-square-foot suite, positioning it above the comp-set average of $2.54 per square foot and 906 square feet while remaining below the Dundas submarket leased benchmark of $3.20 per square foot. Against 1950 Main West, the subject commands a $0.23 per square foot (8.4%) premium and provides 221 more interior square feet, meaning the $740 higher nominal rent reflects both a larger footprint and a higher rate. Forest Glen II presents the inverse trade-off: the subject trades at a $0.39 per square foot (15.1%) premium yet delivers 200 fewer square feet, so the $247 lower nominal rent is a function of the smaller interior footprint rather than weaker asset valuation. Forest Glen III shows a similar pattern—the subject commands a $0.55 per square foot (22.6%) premium while providing 196 fewer square feet, keeping the nominal rent only $60 below the comp. 57 Mericourt Road, the newest build, sees the subject at a $0.58 per square foot (24.2%) premium with 150 more square feet, driving an $803 higher monthly rent.

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

Forest Glen I offers a ten-amenity lifestyle package including an indoor pool, sauna and steam room, gym, tennis and pickleball court, concierge and security, and a BBQ area, placing it ahead of three of its four nearby competitors on recreational breadth. 1950 Main West provides only a party room, meeting room, and shared laundry—lacking any aquatic, fitness, or outdoor recreation facilities that the subject includes. Forest Glen II matches the subject on pool, sauna, gym, and social spaces but omits the tennis and pickleball court. Forest Glen III is the closest amenity peer, adding a library and reading room that the subject does not carry, while 57 Mericourt Road offers merely a shared laundry room and 24-hour access. The subject's aquatic-and-sports combination—indoor pool paired with an outdoor tennis and pickleball court—serves active, family-oriented renters in the Dundas corridor who want resort-style recreation without leaving the building, a package none of the other three nearby competitors replicates in full.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

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

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.
