Valleymede Towers – Building A at 396 Highway 7 E in Richmond Hill is a 142-suite residential tower developed by Times Group and completed in 2020. As of August 31, 2026, the building carries a single active listing, representing a 0.7 percent availability rate. Recent leasing activity shows two closed leases in the trailing 30 days at an average of $2,250 per month with a 35-day average time on market, and six closed leases over the past 90 days averaging $2,542 per month with a 23-day average DOM.

The lone active listing asks $2,400 per month on 650 square feet, translating to $3.69 per square foot. That rate per square foot sits above the building's all-time realized lease average of $3.52 per square foot, even though the nominal monthly rent is lower than the 90-day lease average of $2,542. The active suite's 650-square-foot footprint is notably more compact than the 758-square-foot average across all tracked historical leases, meaning the current listing commands a higher per-square-foot rate on a smaller unit. Against the Richmond Hill submarket asking benchmark of $3.82 per square foot, Valleymede Towers – Building A's active rate is 3.4 percent more competitive.

Marketing friction warrants attention: the active listing has been on market for 32 days, exceeding the submarket average of 28 days, and the trailing 30-day closed leases averaged 35 days on market, also above the submarket norm. Despite zero delisted or expired listings in the tracking period, this DOM excess signals modest leasing deceleration rather than friction-free absorption. Tenants negotiating across all nine tracked closed transactions secured an average concession of $28 per month, or 1.16 percent below asking, a tenant-favorable outcome worth factoring into offer strategy. Inventory depth is extremely thin: the single available unit is a one-bedroom-plus-den layout, leaving no multi-bedroom options and no second entry-level choice for renters targeting this address.

Active Market Insights & Questions

How has rental availability changed at Valleymede Towers - Building A recently?

Valleymede Towers – Building A has exactly one active listing as of August 31, 2026, asking $2,400 per month with both the minimum and maximum rent at that same figure. The available suite spans 650 square feet at an asking rate of $3.69 per square foot. This single unit is a one-bedroom-plus-den layout, accounting for 100 percent of current active inventory, and represents a compact entry-level footprint rather than a multi-bedroom executive offering.

What floor plans and unit layouts are currently available at Valleymede Towers - Building A?

The sole active layout at Valleymede Towers – Building A is the one-bedroom-plus-den, with one unit representing 100 percent of available inventory. That listing asks $2,400 per month on 650 square feet, equating to $3.69 per square foot. No other bedroom tiers—studio, two-bedroom, or three-bedroom—currently carry active listings, making this a single-transaction sample with no cross-layout comparison possible.

What is the average asking rent and $/SF by suite size at Valleymede Towers - Building A?

With only one active listing at Valleymede Towers – Building A, the minimum and maximum asking rents are both $2,400 per month, producing a zero-dollar and zero-percent spread. The entry-level and peak suite are the same unit: a one-bedroom-plus-den of 650 square feet at $3.69 per square foot. Because the pricing spread is uncalculable in any meaningful sense with a single listing, renters should reference the building's historical lease benchmarks—averaging $2,622 per month across all tracked transactions—for a fuller picture of achievable pricing.

How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at Valleymede Towers - Building A?

Active den premium and square-footage delta figures for Valleymede Towers – Building A are unquantified due to insufficient paired sample data. Marginal cost per square foot for the den component cannot be reliably isolated from the available listing. Parking stall premiums are likewise unquoted; the data set flags the parking figure as an unreliable outlier or insufficient sample, so no specific monthly parking add-on can be stated with confidence.

How do asking rents at Valleymede Towers - Building A compare to local and municipal benchmarks?

Valleymede Towers – Building A's active asking rent of $2,400 per month and $3.69 per square foot both trail the Richmond Hill submarket asking benchmarks of $2,800 per month and $3.82 per square foot. The 3.4 percent discount on a per-square-foot basis reflects the building's more compact 650-square-foot active suite relative to the broader submarket's larger average unit sizes. Valleymede Towers – Building A accounts for one out of 94 active listings in the Richmond Hill submarket, a 1.1 percent share of total available inventory.

Over the trailing 90 days the building absorbed 6 leases, and the full one-year window shows 9 total closed transactions. Leasing cadence moderated from the 90-day pace into the most recent month, with the 30-day DOM of 35 days running 7 days above the submarket average, suggesting a slight cooling in absorption velocity heading into late summer.

What is the negotiation spread between asking rents and closed lease prices at Valleymede Towers - Building A?

Valleymede Towers – Building A tenants negotiated an average discount of $28 per month (1.16% below asking) across tracked leases, translating to $336 in annual savings per unit. Thirty-three point three percent of all closed leases settled below the listed asking price, confirming measurable tenant leverage in this submarket. The remaining two-thirds of transactions closed at or near asking, indicating landlords at this building held firm on pricing for the majority of closings while conceding modestly on a subset of suites.

What are typical executed lease prices across different layouts at Valleymede Towers - Building A?

The 2-Bedroom + Den and 1-Bedroom + Den layouts anchor Valleymede Towers – Building A's leasing volume, with the former averaging $3,038 per month at 15 DOM and the latter averaging $2,400 per month at 47 DOM. The 2-Bedroom + Den tier recorded 4 closed leases (44.4% of volume) at a median of $2,975, a P25–P75 range of $2,938 to $3,075, an average footprint of 944 square feet at $3.22 per square foot. This is a limited sample size and should be treated as a directional indicator only. The 1-Bedroom + Den tier closed 3 leases (33.3%) at a flat $2,400 across all quartiles, averaging 650 square feet at $3.69 per square foot with a 47-day DOM. This is likewise a small sample and serves as a directional reference only. The 1-Bedroom tier recorded 2 closed leases (22.2%) at an average of $2,125 per month, a P25–P75 range of $2,112 to $2,138, averaging 550 square feet at $3.86 per square foot with a 17-day DOM. This is a limited two-transaction sample and not a broad statistical benchmark.

What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at Valleymede Towers - Building A?

Valleymede Towers – Building A does not have sufficient paired lease data to isolate a reliable parking premium per month. Active listings at the building also show an unreliable or insufficient sample for parking pricing, so no verified parking surcharge can be quoted. Tenants should confirm whether parking is bundled into the suite rent or billed separately before signing, as the platform cannot validate a consistent monthly parking line item for this building.

How does the lease-to-listing ratio at Valleymede Towers - Building A reflect current tenant demand?

Valleymede Towers – Building A shows a net downward drift in nominal monthly rent from April through August 2026, while the rate per square foot climbed steadily, indicating the nominal decline reflects a shift toward compact suite footprints rather than property devaluation. April closed 1 lease at $2,950 per month and $3.11 per square foot with a 37-day DOM. May added 2 leases at $2,700 per month and $3.43 per square foot over 30 days. June recorded 2 leases at $2,525 per month and $3.52 per square foot, cutting DOM to 15 days. July brought 2 leases at $2,850 per month and $3.58 per square foot with a 19-day DOM. August closed 2 leases at $2,250 per month and $3.76 per square foot over 35 days, the lowest nominal rent and highest rate per square foot in the tracked window, confirming the mix shifted toward smaller units rather than a pricing correction.

Valleymede Towers – Building A leases at $3.52 per square foot for an average 758 square feet, a combination that undercuts the $3.64 per-square-foot comp average while delivering more interior space than three of the four nearby alternatives. Against Royal Gardens – II (Crown Building), the subject trades at a $0.12 per-square-foot (3.3%) discount yet provides 123 more square feet, so the higher nominal rent of $333 per month is entirely a footprint effect rather than a rate premium. Versus Valleymede Towers – Building B, the subject commands a $0.08 per-square-foot (2.3%) premium but offers 36 fewer square feet, which is why the monthly rent actually comes in $95 lower despite the higher per-square-foot rate. Royal Gardens – II (Palace Building) presents the sharpest contrast: the subject trades at a $0.40 per-square-foot (10.2%) discount while delivering 150 more square feet, making the $314 monthly premium a pure space differential. Royal Gardens – I shows the tightest spread, with the subject at a $0.05 per-square-foot (1.4%) discount and 55 additional square feet, accounting for its $166 higher rent. In every active comparison, the subject's nominal rent variance is driven by interior footprint rather than asset valuation.

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

Valleymede Towers – Building A offers a nine-feature lifestyle package centred on productivity, social gathering, and fitness, standing in contrast to the resort-style aquatic and outdoor amenities that define the three Royal Gardens towers. The subject's Business Centre, Dining Room & Kitchen, Games & Billiards Room, Library & Reading Room, and Yoga Studio are all absent from Royal Gardens – II (Crown Building), Royal Gardens – II (Palace Building), and Royal Gardens – I, each of which instead leads with swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, golf simulators, rooftop terraces, and BBQ areas. Valleymede Towers – Building B mirrors the subject's amenity list almost exactly, confirming a shared developer philosophy for the 2020 pair. The Royal Gardens buildings, built in 2014, target renters who prioritise resort-style recreation—indoor pools, jacuzzis, steam rooms, and outdoor terraces—while the subject's package is engineered around remote-work infrastructure, communal dining, and structured fitness. The primary tenant demographic best served by this building's lifestyle package is the young professional or small household that values a modern, walkable Highway 7 East address with on-site meeting space, a dedicated yoga studio, and social common areas over pool-and-spa resort amenities.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

How FastScreen aggregates public listing records, tracks active inventory, and calculates rental market metrics for Valleymede Towers - Building A.

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.
