Scala — Rental Market Data

Scala at 25 Adra Grado Way carries six active listings as of August 31, 2026, with asking rents ranging from $2,400 to $5,200 per month, an average of $3,208, and a median of $2,650. The average suite in current availability measures 873 square feet at an asking rate of $3.74 per square foot. Inventory is evenly divided between one-bedroom-plus-den and two-bedroom layouts, with no zero-bedroom or three-bedroom units currently on the market, placing the active mix squarely in the mid-range family and professional renter segment rather than ultra-compact entry-level stock.

The dominant active layout at Scala is the one-bedroom-plus-den, accounting for three of six listings and a 50 percent share of available inventory. One-bedroom-plus-den units average $2,467 per month across 629 square feet at $3.93 per square foot, while two-bedroom units also hold three listings at a 50 percent share, averaging $3,950 per month across 1,117 square feet at $3.56 per square foot. Both tiers offer a small selection of three units each, so renters in either category face limited but non-trivial choice.

Scala's six active listings span a $2,800 spread from a minimum entry rent of $2,400 to a peak asking rent of $5,200 per month, a 116.7 percent range. The median asking rent sits at $2,650 per month, anchoring the lower half of the distribution. The entry-level suite is a one-bedroom-plus-den measuring 650 square feet at $3.69 per square foot, while the peak listing is a two-bedroom unit of 1,500 square feet priced at $3.47 per square foot, reflecting a premium for expanded living space rather than a higher unit rate.

Active den premiums at Scala cannot be reliably quantified from current listings, as the paired sample is insufficient to isolate a consistent dollar delta or marginal cost per square foot for the den component. Parking stall costs likewise cannot be reliably isolated from active inventory due to an unreliable or insufficient paired sample. However, verified historical lease data establishes a parking benchmark of $317 per month, which serves as a reasonable reference point for budgeting purposes.

Scala's active asking rent of $3,208 per month exceeds the Don Valley North submarket average of $2,608, yet the building's rate of $3.74 per square foot sits 4.8 percent below the submarket asking benchmark of $3.93 per square foot. The higher nominal monthly outlay is driven by larger average suite sizing—873 square feet at Scala versus the submarket's implied smaller footprint—rather than a premium unit price. Scala's six active listings represent approximately 2.7 percent of the 225 total active listings across the Don Valley North submarket, positioning the building as a modest but meaningful share of neighborhood availability.

Scala's average closed-lease rent of $2,873 per month sits $241 above the four-comp average of $2,632, reflecting its newer construction and expanded amenity suite. Aria Condominiums II at 20 Bloorview Pl (0.55 km) closed leases averaging $2,824 per month at $3.38 per square foot across 876-square-foot suites, while Aria Condominiums I at 10 Bloorview Pl (0.56 km) recorded $2,892 per month at $3.30 per square foot over 908 square feet. Leslie Boutique Residences at 2756 Old Leslie St (0.74 km) posted the lowest average at $2,375 per month, $3.50 per square foot, and 683 square feet, and Discovery I – Park Place (B) at 29 Singer Crt (0.84 km) closed at $2,438 per month, $3.63 per square foot, and 702 square feet. Scala's rent premium over the two Aria buildings is narrow—roughly $50 to $120 per month—while its gap over Leslie and Discovery I widens to $435 to $498, a spread largely explained by the building's 2022 completion and resort-style amenity deck.

Scala leases at $3.87 per square foot on an average 779-square-foot suite, a rate that commands a premium over all four nearby comparables while offering slightly less interior space than the Aria pair but more than Leslie and Discovery I. Against Aria Condominiums II (876 sq ft at $3.38/sq ft) and Aria Condominiums I (908 sq ft at $3.30/sq ft), Scala provides 97 and 129 fewer square feet respectively, yet charges $0.49 and $0.57 more per square foot—a premium justified by its 2022 build date versus the 2011 Aria completions. Conversely, Scala offers 96 more square feet than Leslie Boutique Residences (683 sq ft at $3.50/sq ft) and 77 more than Discovery I – Park Place (B) (702 sq ft at $3.63/sq ft), while still pricing $0.37 and $0.24 higher per square foot. Renter trade-offs are clear: those prioritizing maximum interior area will find the Aria buildings more spacious, while those valuing a newer building with a broader amenity range will accept the modest size reduction at Scala for a more contemporary living experience.

Scala's 18-amenity package extends well beyond the recreational offerings at its nearest competitors, giving it a distinct lifestyle edge in the Don Valley North micro-market. Four signature features stand out: an outdoor pool (absent from Aria I, Aria II, and Leslie Boutique Residences), EV charging stations (unavailable at all four comparables), outdoor fire pits (offered by none of the nearby buildings), and a dedicated parcel room (also missing from every comp). A fifth differentiator is the full-service dining room and kitchen, which none of the four competitors provide. Discovery I – Park Place (B) does match Scala on the outdoor pool and yoga studio, but lacks the EV infrastructure, fire-pit social spaces, and parcel logistics that round out Scala's package. Together, these amenities best serve young professionals and small families who want resort-style recreation, modern convenience technology, and flexible social spaces without leaving their building.
