Palace Pier — Rental Market Data
Building Summary & Rental Market Overview
Rental market analytics and building profile as of August 31, 2026.
Palace Pier at 2045 Lake Shore Blvd W in Etobicoke's Mimico neighbourhood is a 433-suite residential building completed in 1978, with no developer of record. As of August 31, 2026, one unit is actively listed for rent, representing a 0.2 percent availability rate across the tower. Leasing activity over the trailing 30 days shows zero closed transactions, while the 90-day window captured two leases at an average of $5,675 per month with a 16-day average time on market, and the full one-year cohort totals three closed deals.
The single active listing asks $5,500 per month on 890 square feet, translating to $6.18 per square foot. That rate sits well above the all-time realized lease average of $4.21 per square foot, even though the nominal monthly rent is slightly below the 90-day realized average of $5,675. The active suite's 890-square-foot footprint is notably more compact than the 1,658-square-foot average recorded across historical leases, meaning the higher per-square-foot rate reflects a smaller unit rather than a premium on size. Against the Mimico submarket asking benchmark of $4.45 per square foot, Palace Pier's active rate runs 38.9 percent above the neighbourhood norm.
Marketing friction appears limited: the active listing has been on market for five days, well under the submarket average of 24 days, and no delisted, terminated, or expired listings are recorded. Across all three tracked closed leases, tenants negotiated an average concession of $217 per month, or 3.33 percent below asking, with two-thirds of deals closing under the initial list price—a tenant-favorable dynamic worth factoring into any offer strategy. Inventory depth is extremely thin at a single 3-bedroom-plus unit, leaving no alternative layout tiers for renters seeking one- or two-bedroom options within this building.

Active Market Insights & Questions
How has rental availability changed at Palace Pier recently?
Palace Pier has one active listing as of August 31, 2026, priced at $5,500 per month, which serves as both the average and median asking rent. The available suite spans 890 square feet at an asking rate of $6.18 per square foot. This single unit is a 3-bedroom-plus layout representing 100 percent of current active inventory, placing the building squarely in the multi-bedroom executive tier rather than the compact entry-level segment that dominates broader Mimico listings.
What floor plans and unit layouts are currently available at Palace Pier?
The sole active layout at Palace Pier is a 3-bedroom-plus unit, accounting for 100 percent of available inventory with one listing. That unit asks $5,500 per month on 890 square feet, equating to $6.18 per square foot. No one-bedroom or two-bedroom tiers are currently listed, so renters seeking smaller configurations must look to other Mimico buildings.
What is the average asking rent and $/SF by suite size at Palace Pier?
Palace Pier's single active listing sets both the minimum and maximum asking rent at $5,500 per month, producing a dollar spread of zero and a percentage spread of zero. The entry-level and peak suite are the same 3-bedroom-plus unit at 890 square feet and $6.18 per square foot. With only one unit on the market, there is no internal price gradient to compare, and the median asking rent of $5,500 simply reflects that lone transaction.
How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at Palace Pier?
Palace Pier's active den premium and associated square-footage delta cannot be quantified from the current single-listing sample. Marginal cost per square foot for additional den space is therefore unreported. Parking stall costs also cannot be reliably isolated, as the paired data sample is insufficient to separate a genuine parking add-on from anomalous pricing outliers.
How do asking rents at Palace Pier compare to local and municipal benchmarks?
Palace Pier's active asking rent of $5,500 per month and $6.18 per square foot both exceed the Mimico submarket averages of $3,167 per month and $4.45 per square foot, respectively. The nominal rent gap is explained by suite size: the active unit's 890 square feet is 178 square feet larger than the submarket implied average of 712 square feet, so the higher total rent tracks with the expanded footprint rather than a pure rate premium. Even so, the per-square-foot asking rate runs 38.9 percent above the submarket benchmark. Palace Pier holds one out of 61 active listings in the Mimico submarket, representing roughly 1.6 percent of current neighbourhood inventory.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory
Palace Pier's all-time realized average rent of $5,117 per month sits 80% above the Mimico submarket average of $2,843, while the building's $4.21 per square foot realized rate trades just 5% above the submarket's $4.00 per square foot benchmark. The active listing at $6.18 per square foot for 890 square feet is 38.9% above the submarket asking rate of $4.45 per square foot, but the subject suite is 178 square feet larger than the submarket implied average of 712 square feet, meaning the higher nominal ask is driven by expansive layout size rather than a pure rate premium. On pricing discipline, two of three Palace Pier leases (66.7%) closed below the landlord's asking price, with tenants capturing an average $217 per month concession (3.33% discount) worth $2,604 in annualized savings. The net negotiation spread of -$217 confirms a tenant-favorable environment where landlords absorbed modest pushback on price to close deals within a 13-day average DOM window. This concession pattern, while based on a small sample of three transactions, indicates that asking prices at Palace Pier carry a small built-in buffer that tenants routinely negotiate away.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads
Direct rental rate comparisons against residential properties in the immediate vicinity.
Palace Pier at 2045 Lake Shore Blvd W sits in a tight cluster of four nearby residential buildings within 200 metres, spanning completion eras from 1978 to 2003. The primary active pricing peer is Palace Place at 1 Palace Pier Crt (0.06 km, built in 1993), which recorded four closed leases over the trailing 180 days. Nevis – Tower at 88 Palace Pier Crt (0.15 km, built in 2003) logged one closed lease, and The Player's Club at 2067 Lake Shore Blvd W (0.19 km, built in 2002) also closed one lease in the same window. Nevis – Villa at 80 Palace Pier Crt (0.14 km, built in 2003) recorded zero lease transactions over the trailing 180 days and therefore serves purely as an architectural and amenity reference rather than an active pricing benchmark. The three-transaction comp set averages $3,150 per month in realized rent, $5.36 per square foot, and 696 square feet of interior space. Palace Pier's all-time average lease of $5,117 per month and 1,658 square feet places it well above the comp median on both nominal rent and footprint scale, while its $4.21 per square foot rate sits below the comp average of $5.36 per square foot. Against the broader Mimico submarket benchmark of $2,843 per month and $4.00 per square foot, the building's 1978 construction era and expansive suite sizes drive a premium in total monthly cost even as the per-square-foot rate remains competitive. The net effect is a value proposition anchored in space: renters pay more in absolute terms but receive substantially more interior area than the typical Mimico lease.
Comparable Analysis & Questions
How do rental rates at Palace Pier compare to neighbouring buildings within Mimico?
Palace Pier's all-time average realized lease rent of $5,117 per month exceeds the three-transaction comp benchmark of $3,150 per month by $1,967, with the primary active competitors being Palace Place and The Player's Club. Palace Place at 1 Palace Pier Crt (0.06 km) closed four leases averaging $3,800 per month at $3.36 per square foot across 1,138 square feet; Nevis – Tower at 88 Palace Pier Crt (0.15 km) closed one lease at $2,050 per month, $3.73 per square foot, and 550 square feet; and The Player's Club at 2067 Lake Shore Blvd W (0.19 km) closed one lease at $3,600 per month, $9.00 per square foot, and 400 square feet. Nevis – Villa at 80 Palace Pier Crt (0.14 km) recorded zero closed leases in the past 180 days and therefore has no realized rent benchmark to compare against.
Does Palace Pier offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?
Palace Pier's $4.21 per square foot lease rate and 1,658-square-foot average suite size position it as a space-rich, mid-rate option within the immediate Mimico pocket, where the comp average runs $5.36 per square foot and 696 square feet. Against Palace Place, the subject commands a $0.85 per square foot (25.3%) premium while providing 520 more interior square feet, meaning the higher nominal rent of $1,317 per month is driven by the larger footprint rather than a per-unit valuation gap. Versus Nevis – Tower, the subject commands a $0.48 per square foot (12.9%) premium and delivers 1,108 more square feet, so the $3,067-per-month rent differential reflects the building's expansive layout. The sharpest trade-off appears with The Player's Club: the subject trades at a $4.79 per square foot (53.2%) discount below that competitor's $9.00 per square foot rate, yet still realizes $1,517 more per month in nominal rent because the subject provides 1,258 more interior square feet—confirming that the rent gap is a function of suite scale, not asset valuation.
How do building age, amenities, and developer reputation impact rent spreads?
Palace Pier offers one of the most extensive lifestyle packages in the immediate cluster, with 24 named amenities spanning aquatic, fitness, sports, remote-work, and family categories that exceed every nearby peer. The building's indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, basketball court, tennis and pickleball court, squash and racquetball court, golf simulator, kids' play room, in-house restaurant, and in-house convenience store are features absent from Nevis – Tower, The Player's Club, and Nevis – Villa, while Palace Place matches on pool and racquet sports but adds valet parking and a driving range that Palace Pier lacks. The subject's combination of full-court sports, aquatic wellness, dedicated remote-work meeting rooms, and on-site dining and retail most directly serves families and multi-generational households seeking a self-contained residential campus without leaving the building.

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