The Saw Whet — Rental Market Data

The Saw Whet has 10 active rental listings as of August 31, 2026, with asking rents ranging from $2,100 to $3,000 per month, an average of $2,445 and a median of $2,225. Suites average 667 square feet at an asking rate of $3.70 per square foot. The dominant layout is the one-bedroom-plus-den, accounting for 50 percent of active inventory, which positions the current availability toward compact entry-level and flexible single-occupant suites rather than multi-bedroom executive layouts.

The one-bedroom-plus-den layout leads The Saw Whet's active inventory with five units representing 50 percent of available listings, averaging $2,200 per month across 610 square feet at $3.66 per square foot. The two-bedroom tier follows with three units (30 percent share) averaging $2,783 per month over 750 square feet at $3.74 per square foot, while the standalone one-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den tiers each hold a single listing at $2,100 for 550 square feet and $3,000 for 816 square feet respectively.

The Saw Whet's active asking rents span from $2,100 to $3,000 per month, a dollar spread of $900 or 42.9 percent. The median asking rent sits at $2,225 per month, anchoring the mid-range of available inventory. The entry-level suite is a one-bedroom at 550 square feet priced at $3.82 per square foot, while the peak listing is a two-bedroom-plus-den at 816 square feet asking $3.68 per square foot, showing that the highest-priced unit actually carries a lower unit rate due to its larger footprint.

The Saw Whet's active den premium is $100 per month for an additional 60 square feet of space, translating to a marginal cost of $1.67 per square foot for the extra den area. Active parking premiums cannot be reliably isolated from current listings due to insufficient paired sample data, so no definitive monthly parking add-on can be quoted from the active inventory. Historical lease records do establish a verified parking benchmark of $196 per month, which provides a reasonable reference point for budgeting.

The Saw Whet's average asking rent of $2,445 per month and $3.70 per square foot both trail the Bronte submarket benchmarks of $3,042 per month and $3.76 per square foot. The building's rate per square foot is 1.6 percent below the submarket asking average, confirming a genuinely more competitive unit pricing rather than a size-driven illusion. The Saw Whet accounts for 10 of the 48 active listings in the Bronte submarket, representing roughly one-fifth of total available inventory in the area.

The Saw Whet's all-time average lease rent of $2,198 per month sits $264 below the four-comp average of $2,462, positioning it as the most affordable closed-lease benchmark in this Bronte set. The Balmoral at 2300 Upper Middle Rd W closed leases averaging $2,700 per month at $3.00 per square foot across 900-square-foot suites, representing a $502 (18.6%) premium over the subject. Nuvo 2 at 2333 Khalsa Gate recorded an average of $2,246 per month at $3.71 per square foot for 609-square-foot units, just $48 above the subject. Nuvo 1 at 2343 Khalsa Gate averaged $2,259 per month at $3.73 per square foot across 621-square-foot suites, a $61 spread. Glen Abbey Village at 1450 Glen Abbey Gate closed at $2,644 per month, $2.81 per square foot, and 944 square feet—the highest absolute rent in the set despite the lowest per-square-foot rate, driven entirely by its large legacy footprint.

The Saw Whet leases at an all-time average of $3.63 per square foot for 612-square-foot suites, placing it above the four-comp blended rate of $3.31 per square foot while offering meaningfully less interior space than the legacy stock. Against The Balmoral's 900-square-foot units at $3.00 per square foot, the subject commands a $0.63-per-square-foot (21%) premium but delivers 288 fewer square feet of living area. Versus Glen Abbey Village's 944-square-foot suites at $2.81 per square foot, the subject trades at a $0.82-per-square-foot (29.2%) premium while providing 332 fewer square feet. Against the Nuvo towers, the relationship inverts: the subject sits at a $0.08-per-square-foot discount below Nuvo 2's $3.71 rate and a $0.10-per-square-foot discount below Nuvo 1's $3.73 rate, with suite sizes nearly identical (612 vs. 609 and 621 square feet respectively). Renters choosing The Saw Whet over the Balmoral or Glen Abbey Village are trading away 288 to 332 square feet of interior space in exchange for a 2025 building with modern systems, while those comparing against the Nuvo towers gain a marginally lower per-square-foot cost for essentially the same footprint.

The Saw Whet's amenity package emphasizes professional productivity and wellness in ways that distinguish it from both the legacy and same-generation competitors in Bronte. Where The Balmoral offers a basic Meeting Room and Library & Reading Room, the subject provides a dedicated Business Centre alongside a Yoga Studio—two features entirely absent from the 2015 building. The Car Sharing Service at The Saw Whet has no direct equivalent at any of the four comparables, giving residents a turnkey mobility option that The Balmoral, both Nuvo towers, and Glen Abbey Village do not match. EV Charging Stations are available at the subject but missing from The Balmoral and Glen Abbey Village, two properties where residents must rely on off-site charging. The Nuvo towers counter with an Outdoor Pool, Hot Tub & Jacuzzi, Basketball Court, Tennis & Pickleball Court, and Golf Simulator—recreational amenities the subject does not replicate—but The Saw Whet's combination of a Business Centre, Car Sharing Service, Yoga Studio, and EV infrastructure is tailored to the professional commuter and remote-worker demographic who values a productive, wellness-oriented daily routine over resort-style recreation.
