The Icon I recorded its highest leasing volume in the 1-Bedroom + Den and 1-Bedroom tiers, anchoring market activity with average monthly rents of $2,563 per month and $2,513 per month respectively over 22 and 10 days on market. The 1-Bedroom + Den tier recorded 4 closed deals with an average rent of $2,563 per month, a median rent of $2,575 per month, a P25-P75 range of $2,400 to $2,738 per month, an average size of 649 square feet, and $3.96 per square foot across 22 days on market (note that this represents a limited sample size).

What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at The Icon I?

Active asking parking rates similarly lack reliable paired samples to quantify separate stall pricing.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

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

The Icon I at 270 Wellington St W competes directly with a cluster of established and newly delivered residential towers in Toronto's Entertainment District, anchored by peers such as The Icon II at 250 Wellington St W (0.02 kilometers away, completed in 2003, with 15 active leases), 263 Wellington West at 263 Wellington St W (0.04 kilometers away, completed in 2009, with 4 active leases), No. 55 Mercer at 55 Mercer St (0.04 kilometers away, completed in 2023, with 70 active leases), and Nobu Residences at 15 & 35 Mercer St (0.07 kilometers away, completed in 2024, with 55 active leases). These properties reflect a distinct structural generational divide, contrasting the mid-rise concrete builds of the early 2000s against the high-density glass-and-steel architecture of recent post-2020 developments. Within this micro-market, the competitive set averages $2,903 per month at $4.19 per square foot across an average suite size of 716 square feet. The Icon I maintains a stabilized market position, offering larger functional interior layouts at competitive per-square-foot rates that balance its 2002 completion year against the premium pricing commanded by brand-new towers like No. 55 Mercer and Nobu Residences.

Comparable Analysis & Questions

How do rental rates at The Icon I compare to neighbouring buildings within Entertainment District?

The Icon I averages $2,784 per month across all historical leases, trading below the broader competitive set average of $2,903 per month while benchmarked against prominent local alternatives including The Icon II, 263 Wellington West, No. 55 Mercer, and Nobu Residences. The Icon II (250 Wellington St W) reports an average lease rent of $2,857 per month at $4.06 per square foot across 716 square feet. 263 Wellington West (263 Wellington St W) achieves an average lease rent of $2,975 per month at $3.41 per square foot across 876 square feet. No. 55 Mercer (55 Mercer St) logs an average lease rent of $2,740 per month at $4.74 per square foot across 593 square feet. Finally, Nobu Residences (15 & 35 Mercer St) records an average lease rent of $3,038 per month at $4.55 per square foot across 679 square feet.

Does The Icon I offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?

The Icon I provides a compelling value proposition, offering a realized lease rate of $4.20 per square foot across an average suite size of 661 square feet that positions it favorably against hyper-dense new builds and larger legacy floor plans in the submarket. Renters trade away the ultra-modern finishes and micro-suite efficiency of 2023-2024 deliveries like No. 55 Mercer (which averages $4.74 per square foot across 593 square feet) in exchange for significantly more generous living space. At the same time, tenants at The Icon I secure a more cost-effective per-square-foot baseline than ultra-luxury newer peers like Nobu Residences (which commands $4.55 per square foot across 679 square feet), while avoiding the massive 876 square foot footprints found at 263 Wellington West that drive up absolute monthly gross rent obligations despite a lower $3.41 per square foot rate.

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

The Icon I delivers an extensive resort-style amenity package that rivals or exceeds the offerings found in newer neighboring developments within the Entertainment District. Residents enjoy signature features including an indoor pool, a hot tub and jacuzzi, a sauna and steam room, a rooftop terrace, and a dedicated games and billiards room. When compared against modern luxury peers such as No. 55 Mercer—which features a basketball court, a dog run, and a luxury carshare program—or Nobu Residences, which incorporates specialized spaces like a cold plunge pool, an ofuro, a spin studio, and a pet wash station, The Icon I relies on its classic wellness and entertainment facilities. This robust amenity profile particularly serves professionals and downsizers who prioritize traditional recreational staples like indoor swimming and social lounges over trendy micro-offerings.

  • 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.
