DeveloperCatkey (Toronto) Construction Ltd.

Forest Glen III at 1968 Main St W in Hamilton's Dundas submarket is a 116-suite residential building completed in 1972 by Catkey (Toronto) Construction Ltd., currently showing one active listing against an availability rate of 0.9 percent. The building closed two leases in the trailing 90-day window at an average of $2,663 per month and a realized rate of $2.43 per square foot, with an average time-to-lease of 12 days; no leases closed in the most recent 30-day period.

The single active unit asks $2,775 per month on 1,024 square feet, translating to $2.71 per square foot—higher than the $2.43 per square foot realized across the building's tracked 90-day leases, even though the active footprint is 72 square feet more compact than the historical lease average of 1,096 square feet. Against the Dundas submarket asking benchmark of $3.32 per square foot, Forest Glen III's active rate sits 18.4 percent below the area norm, a gap driven by the building's expansive suite sizing rather than a discount in absolute rent.

Marketing friction remains modest: the active listing has been on market for 21 days, well under the submarket average of 40 days, and the building records zero delisted, terminated, or expired listings. Across all tracked closed transactions, landlords captured an average premium of $13 per month (0.5 percent) above asking, signaling a landlord-favorable negotiation environment. Inventory depth is limited to a single 3-bedroom-plus unit, leaving no multi-unit choice for renters seeking alternatives within this building.

Active Market Insights & Questions

How has rental availability changed at Forest Glen III recently?

Forest Glen III carries one active listing as of August 31, 2026, asking $2,775 per month with both the average and median rent at that same figure. The unit spans 1,024 square feet at an asking rate of $2.71 per square foot, and the 100 percent layout share falls entirely in the 3-bedroom-plus tier. With only a single unit on the market, inventory is concentrated in a large multi-bedroom executive layout rather than compact entry-level suites.

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

The sole active listing at Forest Glen III is a 3-bedroom-plus unit representing 100 percent of available inventory. That single unit asks $2,775 per month on 1,024 square feet, yielding a rate of $2.71 per square foot. No one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or studio tiers are currently listed, so renters seeking smaller footprints must look to the broader Dundas submarket.

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

Forest Glen III's single active listing sets both the minimum and peak asking rent at $2,775 per month, producing a dollar spread of zero and a percentage spread of zero. The entry-level and peak suite are the same unit: a 3-bedroom-plus layout on 1,024 square feet at $2.71 per square foot. With no additional units on the market, there is no internal price gradient to negotiate across.

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

Forest Glen III does not have a quantified den premium or square-footage delta for its active listing, as the data sample is insufficient to isolate a reliable figure. Parking stall costs likewise cannot be reliably isolated from the current paired sample, and no verified monthly parking add-on can be quoted for this building.

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

Forest Glen III's active asking rent of $2,775 per month exceeds the Dundas submarket average asking rent of $2,352 per month, yet the building's rate of $2.71 per square foot sits 18.4 percent below the submarket asking benchmark of $3.32 per square foot. The nominal rent premium is explained by suite size: the active unit provides 1,024 square feet, which is 316 square feet larger than the submarket implied average of 708 square feet. Forest Glen III accounts for one out of 61 available listings in the Dundas submarket, representing roughly 1.6 percent of total active inventory.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory

Forest Glen III leases at $2,663 per month and $2.43 per square foot, positioning the building 18.3% above the Dundas submarket average lease rent of $2,251 but 24.1% below the submarket average rate of $3.20 per square foot. The nominal rent premium is driven entirely by suite size: Forest Glen III's 1,096-square-foot average footprint exceeds the submarket implied average of 708 square feet by 316 square feet, meaning tenants pay more in total dollars but less per unit of space than the local benchmark. Pricing discipline at Forest Glen III skews landlord-favorable, with both tracked leases closing at or above asking for an average premium of $13 per month (0.5%). The net negotiation spread of $13 translates to $156 per year in additional rental revenue, and 100% of the two recorded transactions settled at or above the listed price. This is a small sample of two deals and should be read as a directional indicator of landlord leverage rather than a broad market benchmark.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

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

Forest Glen III at 1968 Main St W sits within a tight cluster of three active rental competitors along the same corridor, all within 200 metres. Forest Glen II (1966 Main St W, 0.07 km, built in 1972) recorded one closed lease over the trailing 180 days; Forest Glen I (1964 Main St W, 0.15 km, built in 1972) logged two closed leases; and 1950 Main West (1950 Main St W, 0.2 km, built in 1999) closed four lease transactions in the same window. Valley Park (1770 Main St W, 0.58 km, built in 2002) recorded zero closed leases over the past 180 days and therefore functions solely as an architectural and amenity reference rather than an active pricing benchmark. The three active peers span two structural generations: the Forest Glen I/II pair shares the subject's 1972 completion era, while 1950 Main West represents a late-1990s build with a materially smaller suite footprint. The overall comp benchmark across the three active competitors averages $2,439 per month in realized rent, $2.77 per square foot, and 893 square feet of interior space. Forest Glen III's realized lease metrics of $2,663 per month and 1,096 square feet place the subject well above the comp average on total footprint scale—roughly 200 square feet larger than the typical competitor suite—while its $2.43 per square foot rate sits a meaningful discount below both the comp average of $2.77 per square foot and the broader Dundas submarket leased rate of $3.20 per square foot. The building's 1972 construction era and expansive 3-bedroom-plus layout position it as a space-maximizing, value-oriented option for renters prioritizing interior volume over per-square-foot rate efficiency in this immediate pocket.

Comparable Analysis & Questions

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

Forest Glen III's average realized lease rent of $2,663 per month exceeds the overall comp benchmark of $2,439 per month by $224, driven primarily by the subject's substantially larger suite footprint rather than a rate premium. Against Forest Glen II at 1966 Main St W (0.07 km, one closed lease, $2,850 average rent, $2.59 per square foot, 1,100 square feet), the subject trades at a lower monthly rent of $187 less. Against Forest Glen I at 1964 Main St W (0.15 km, two closed leases, $2,603 average rent, $2.98 per square foot, 900 square feet), the subject commands a higher monthly rent of $60 more. Against 1950 Main West at 1950 Main St W (0.2 km, four closed leases, $1,863 average rent, $2.75 per square foot, 679 square feet), the subject commands a higher monthly rent of $800 more. Valley Park at 1770 Main St W (0.58 km) recorded zero closed leases over the trailing 180 days and therefore carries no realized rent benchmark for direct comparison.

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

Forest Glen III leases at $2.43 per square foot across an average 1,096-square-foot suite, trading at a per-square-foot discount below every active nearby competitor while delivering the largest interior footprint in the immediate peer set. Against Forest Glen I (1964 Main St W), the subject trades at a $0.55 per square foot (18.5%) discount below the comp's $2.98 per square foot rate, yet provides 196 more interior square feet; the $60 higher nominal rent is entirely a function of that expanded footprint, not an asset-valuation premium. Against 1950 Main West (1950 Main St W), the subject trades at a $0.32 per square foot (11.6%) discount below the comp's $2.75 per square foot rate while providing 417 more interior square feet, meaning the $800 higher monthly rent is driven by the subject's expansive 3-bedroom-plus layout rather than a rate advantage. Against Forest Glen II (1966 Main St W), the subject trades at a $0.16 per square foot (6.2%) discount below the comp's $2.59 per square foot rate and provides 4 fewer interior square feet, resulting in a $187 lower nominal rent that reflects both the slightly smaller footprint and the lower per-square-foot rate.

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

Forest Glen III offers an 11-feature lifestyle package including an indoor pool, sauna and steam room, gym and fitness centre, tennis and pickleball court, library and reading room, games and billiards room, party and lounge room, hobby room, shared laundry room, BBQ area, and concierge with security—placing it at the top of the local amenity tier. The subject's tennis and pickleball court and library and reading room are genuinely absent from Forest Glen II (1966 Main St W), which otherwise mirrors the subject's aquatic and wellness suite but omits those two recreational and quiet-space features. Forest Glen I (1964 Main St W) matches the subject on nearly every amenity except the library and reading room, making the two 1972-era buildings near-identical in lifestyle offering. By contrast, 1950 Main West (1950 Main St W) provides only a party and lounge room, meeting room, and shared laundry—lacking any aquatic, fitness, or recreational court facilities—and Valley Park (1770 Main St W), while offering a dining room, garden courtyard, and sauna, carries no pool, no tennis court, and no games room. The subject's full-service package of aquatic recreation, dedicated sports courts, and quiet study space best serves families and multi-occupant 3-bedroom-plus households seeking a self-contained residential community with on-site leisure without the per-square-foot rate premium of newer, smaller-footprint competitors.
