Westside - Bside — Rental Market Data

Westside – Bside has three active listings as of August 31, 2026, with asking rents ranging from $1,800 to $2,800 per month, an average of $2,417, and a median of $2,650. The average suite in the current inventory measures 567 square feet at an asking rate of $4.29 per square foot. Two-bedroom layouts dominate at 66.7 percent of active inventory, while the single studio represents the remaining 33.3 percent, indicating the current mix skews toward larger multi-bedroom units rather than compact entry-level suites.

The dominant active layout at Westside – Bside is the two-bedroom, with two units representing 66.7 percent of available inventory at an average asking rent of $2,725 per month across 650 square feet and a rate of $4.19 per square foot. The studio tier holds one listing at 33.3 percent share, asking $1,800 per month for 400 square feet at $4.50 per square foot. No one-bedroom units are currently listed, creating a gap in the mid-tier bedroom segment for renters seeking that configuration.

Westside – Bside's active asking rents span from $1,800 to $2,800 per month, a dollar spread of $1,000 and a percentage spread of 55.6 percent, with a median asking rent of $2,650. The entry-level suite is a 400-square-foot studio at $4.50 per square foot, while the peak listing is a 650-square-foot two-bedroom at $4.31 per square foot. The wider dollar spread reflects the jump from compact studio sizing to full two-bedroom footprints rather than a premium within a single layout tier.

Den premium data for Westside – Bside cannot be quantified from the current active sample, as no paired den versus non-den listings exist in the three-unit inventory. Parking stall premiums also cannot be reliably isolated; the tracking window shows an insufficient or anomalous paired sample, so no specific monthly parking fee can be quoted with confidence. Renters should request current parking and den availability directly from the leasing office at 27 Bathurst Street.

Westside – Bside's active asking rate of $4.29 per square foot sits 10.8 percent below the Downtown West submarket asking benchmark of $4.81 per square foot, while the average asking rent of $2,417 per month trails the submarket average of $3,080 by roughly 21.5 percent. The nominal rent gap is driven primarily by suite sizing: the building's 567-square-foot average active footprint is meaningfully smaller than what the submarket benchmark implies, so the per-square-foot comparison is the more accurate pricing signal. Westside – Bside accounts for three out of 170 active listings in the Downtown West submarket, a 1.8 percent share of total available inventory.

Westside - Bside's all-time average realized lease rent of $2,633 per month sits $45 below the four-comp benchmark average of $2,678 per month, with the spread driven primarily by the premium Rêve King West at 560 Front St W (0.11 km), which recorded 12 closed leases at an average of $3,140 per month, $4.24 per square foot, and 735 square feet. Westside - East Tower at 576 Front St W (0.02 km) closed 23 leases averaging $2,445 per month at $4.40 per square foot over 567 square feet. Zed at 38 Niagara St (0.12 km) logged 3 closed leases at $2,517 per month, $4.02 per square foot, and 628 square feet, while Portland Park Village at 550 Front St W (0.14 km) recorded 5 closed leases at $2,610 per month, $3.88 per square foot, and 735 square feet. All four competitors posted active lease volume over the trailing 180 days, providing realized pricing benchmarks rather than asking-only references.

Westside - Bside leases at $4.32 per square foot over an average 624-square-foot suite, positioning it at a per-square-foot premium over three of four nearby competitors while offering a larger interior footprint than the closest peer. Against Westside - East Tower (576 Front St W, 0.02 km), the subject trades at a $0.08 per square foot (1.8%) discount while providing 57 more interior square feet, meaning the $188-per-month higher nominal rent reflects the additional footprint rather than a rate premium. Rêve King West (560 Front St W, 0.11 km) presents the inverse trade-off: the subject commands a $0.08 per square foot (1.9%) premium yet delivers 111 fewer interior square feet, so the $507-per-month lower nominal rent is a function of the smaller suite size rather than weaker asset valuation. Zed (38 Niagara St, 0.12 km) and Portland Park Village (550 Front St W, 0.14 km) both show the subject at a per-square-foot premium—$0.30 per square foot (7.5%) and $0.44 per square foot (11.3%) respectively—with the subject providing 4 and 111 fewer interior square feet in those comparisons.

Westside - Bside offers a 12-feature amenity suite including an outdoor pool, dining room and kitchen, shared laundry room, gym and fitness centre, yoga studio, rooftop terrace, and garden courtyard, giving it a broader lifestyle package than three of its four immediate competitors. The outdoor pool and dedicated dining room and kitchen are absent from Rêve King West (560 Front St W), Zed (38 Niagara St), and Portland Park Village (550 Front St W), while the shared laundry room is missing from those same three buildings. East Tower (576 Front St W) matches the subject on pool, gym, and rooftop but adds a sauna and steam room, business centre, and media and theatre room that the subject does not carry. The subject's combination of aquatic recreation, communal dining, and in-suite laundry convenience targets cost-conscious young professionals and small households who prioritize functional daily-use amenities over the wellness-focused or entertainment-oriented packages found at Rêve King West and East Tower.
