DeveloperNational Homes

Northshore at 500 Plains Rd E in Burlington's Aldershot submarket is a 152-suite residential building developed by National Homes and completed in 2025. As of August 31, 2026, the tower is fully occupied with zero units currently listed for rent, yielding a 0 percent availability rate. Leasing activity remains steady for a building in its initial occupancy phase: two closed leases in the trailing 30 days at an average of $2,098 per month and 40 days on market, and five closed leases over the past 90 days averaging $2,109 per month with 61 days on market. Across all 13 tracked leases to date, the building has averaged $2,219 per month at $3.71 per square foot over a mean suite size of 610 square feet, with an overall average of 54 days on market.

With no active listings to benchmark, pricing intelligence rests on realized lease data. The building's all-time average asking rate of $3.71 per square foot sits 13.2 percent above the Aldershot submarket's average realized lease rate of $3.42 per square foot, indicating that Northshore commands a premium per unit of space relative to neighboring inventory. The submarket's current average asking rent stands at $2,257 per month at $3.83 per square foot, while Northshore's realized average of $2,219 per month reflects slightly more compact suite footprints averaging 610 square feet. The dominant leased layout is the one-bedroom-plus-den configuration, representing 46.2 percent of all tracked transactions, suggesting the building's inventory skews toward mid-size family-oriented plans rather than compact studio or two-bedroom executive formats.

Tenants negotiating at Northshore have demonstrated measurable leverage: across all 13 tracked closed leases, 69.2 percent of deals closed below the initial asking rent, with an average concession of $58 per month or 2.52 percent under asking, translating to roughly $696 in annual savings per unit. Because the building currently has zero active listings and zero delisted or expired units, there is no marketing friction or leasing deceleration to flag. Renters seeking comparable one-bedroom-plus-den inventory in Aldershot should look to the submarket's 11 currently available listings, where the average asking rent is $2,257 per month at $3.83 per square foot.

Leased Transaction Insights & Questions

How many suites were leased at Northshore last month, and how fast did they rent?

Northshore at 500 Plains Rd E closed two leases in the trailing 30 days at an average 40 days on market, compared to a 61-day average over the prior 90 days and a submarket benchmark of 37 days. The 90-day window captured five closings, while the full lifetime record stands at 13 signed leases since the property entered initial occupancy in late 2025. Leasing cadence is still building: the 30-day DOM of 40 days sits 14 days above the Aldershot submarket norm, reflecting a new-build pipeline that has not yet reached full absorption velocity.

What is the negotiation spread between asking rents and closed lease prices at Northshore?

Northshore tenants negotiated an average discount of $58 per month (2.52% below asking) across tracked leases, translating to $696 in annual savings per unit. Sixty-nine point two percent of all 13 closed leases settled under the listed asking price, confirming consistent tenant leverage in this initial-occupancy window. Landlords at Northshore are conceding on price rather than holding firm, a pattern typical of a 152-suite National Homes project still working through its first wave of move-ins.

What are typical executed lease prices across different layouts at Northshore?

The two highest-volume anchor layouts at Northshore are the 1-Bedroom + Den (6 leases, average $2,208 per month, 66-day DOM) and the standard 1-Bedroom (5 leases, average $2,079 per month, 46-day DOM). The 1-Bedroom + Den tier averages 604 square feet at $3.67 per square foot, with a median rent of $2,200 and a P25-to-P75 band of $2,200 to $2,238. The 1-Bedroom tier averages 540 square feet at $3.94 per square foot, with a median of $2,095 and a P25-to-P75 band of $2,000 to $2,100. Both tiers qualify as moderate samples and serve as reliable statistical benchmarks. The 2-Bedroom layout recorded one individual transaction at $2,600 per month for 850 square feet ($3.06 per square foot, 77-day DOM); this is a single deal, not a broad benchmark. The 2-Bedroom + Den also closed one individual transaction at $2,600 per month for 750 square feet ($3.47 per square foot, 2-day DOM), likewise a single transaction rather than a statistical norm.

What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at Northshore?

Northshore parking premium data is inconclusive due to insufficient paired lease records that bundle a parking spot with a suite. No verified monthly parking differential can be isolated from the 13 closed leases, and active-listing parking figures are flagged as unreliable outliers. Tenants should confirm whether a parking allocation is included in the quoted rent or billed separately before signing, as the platform cannot validate a consistent premium or discount at this stage.

How does the lease-to-listing ratio at Northshore reflect current tenant demand?

Northshore rents trended modestly downward from spring into late summer 2026, with the average monthly rent falling from $2,333 in April to $2,098 by August. April closed three leases at $2,333 per month ($3.46 per square foot, 53-day DOM). May saw the heaviest volume with five closings at $2,260 per month ($3.71 per square foot, 48-day DOM). June recorded two leases at a lower nominal $2,075 per month but a higher $4.45 per square foot, a spread driven by compact suite footprints rather than property devaluation. July's single lease closed at $2,200 per month ($3.38 per square foot, 86-day DOM), reflecting a larger unit that sat on market longer. August's two closings landed at $2,098 per month ($3.52 per square foot, 40-day DOM), the fastest absorption of the five-month window.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory

Northshore's realized average rent of $2,219 per month sits $14 above the Aldershot submarket lease average of $2,205, while the building's $3.71 per square foot rate runs 13.2% higher than the submarket lease benchmark of $3.42 per square foot. The property commands a modest rent premium but a more meaningful per-square-foot premium, indicating that Northshore's suite mix skews toward smaller footprints (610 square feet average) that price at a higher density than the broader Burlington Aldershot stock. Pricing discipline at Northshore leans tenant-favorable. Sixty-nine point two percent of the 13 tracked leases closed below asking, with an average concession of $58 per month (2.52%) and $696 in annualized savings per unit. This pattern signals that National Homes is using initial-occupancy pricing flexibility to move inventory, and prospective tenants should expect meaningful pushback on price rather than a landlord holding firm at the listed rate.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

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

Northshore at 500 Plains Rd E sits in a tight cluster of four registered comparables along the same arterial corridor in Burlington's Aldershot submarket. Two buildings carry active lease volume over the trailing 180 days: Jazz Condos at 457 Plains Rd E (0.19 km, completed 2016) closed five leases, and Affinity East Condominiums at 340 Plains Rd E (0.56 km, completed 2020) closed four. The remaining two—Westwood at 396 Plains Rd E (0.34 km, completed 2009) and Dovercourt at 391 Plains Rd E (0.39 km, completed 2005)—recorded zero closed lease transactions in the same window, functioning as architectural and amenity references rather than live pricing benchmarks. The peer set spans a 20-year completion range from Dovercourt's 2005 build to Northshore's 2025 delivery, placing the subject at the newest end of the corridor's structural generation. The four-comparable benchmark averages $2,435 per month in realized rent, $3.38 per square foot, and 748 square feet of interior space. Northshore's 13 closed leases over the past year produced an average of $2,219 per month at $3.71 per square foot across 610 square feet of suite area. The subject therefore trades below the comp average on nominal monthly rent yet commands a higher rate per square foot, a pattern driven entirely by its compact 610-square-foot footprint relative to the 748-square-foot peer average. At 152 suites, Northshore also sits at a mid-scale density that differentiates it from the smaller legacy towers on the same block, while its 2025 completion gives it the newest building systems, finishes, and amenity infrastructure in the immediate pocket.

Comparable Analysis & Questions

How do rental rates at Northshore compare to neighbouring buildings within Aldershot?

Northshore's average realized lease rent of $2,219 per month sits $216 below the four-comparable benchmark of $2,435, with both active peers pricing above the subject. Jazz Condos at 457 Plains Rd E (0.19 km, completed 2016) closed five leases over the trailing 180 days at an average of $2,406 per month, $3.67 per square foot, and 694 square feet—placing the subject $187 per month lower in nominal rent. Affinity East Condominiums at 340 Plains Rd E (0.56 km, completed 2020) closed four leases at an average of $2,463 per month, $3.08 per square foot, and 801 square feet, meaning the subject trades $244 per month below that competitor. Westwood at 396 Plains Rd E (0.34 km, completed 2009) and Dovercourt at 391 Plains Rd E (0.39 km, completed 2005) each recorded zero closed lease transactions over the trailing 180 days and therefore carry no realized rent benchmark against which to compare Northshore's pricing.

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

Northshore leases at $3.71 per square foot across an average 610-square-foot suite, a rate that commands a premium over both active competitors while the smaller interior footprint keeps the total monthly bill below theirs. Against Jazz Condos (0.19 km, five closed leases), the subject trades at a $0.04 per square foot (1.1 percent) premium yet provides 84 fewer interior square feet, so the $187-per-month nominal discount is a direct function of the reduced footprint rather than a lower per-unit valuation. Against Affinity East Condominiums (0.56 km, four closed leases), the subject commands a $0.63 per square foot (20.5 percent) premium while delivering 191 fewer interior square feet, producing a $244-per-month lower total rent that again reflects the compact suite size rather than a weaker asset position. In both cases the renter trades interior square footage for a newer 2025 building with a denser amenity package, and the per-square-foot rate confirms Northshore is not discounting on quality.

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

Northshore fields a 15-item amenity suite that outstrips every nearby competitor in breadth, pairing wellness, remote-work, and family-oriented facilities under one roof. Compared with Jazz Condos (0.19 km), the subject adds a Business Centre, Pet Wash Station, Garden & Courtyard, Children's Playground, Dog Run, and the National Galleria—features absent from Jazz's 12-item list—while Jazz retains a Shared Laundry Room, EV Charging Station, and Library & Reading Room that Northshore does not offer. Against Affinity East Condominiums (0.56 km), Northshore contributes a Meeting Room, Dining Room & Kitchen, Pet Wash Station, Children's Playground, Dog Run, and National Galleria beyond that building's 10-item set, though Affinity East includes an EV Charging Station the subject lacks. The zero-transaction references Westwood and Dovercourt offer only five and seven amenities respectively, with no gym, yoga studio, rooftop terrace, or business facilities. This lifestyle package—spanning aquatic-adjacent wellness (yoga studio, gym), remote-work infrastructure (business centre, meeting room), and family/pet programming (playground, dog run, pet wash)—is best suited to young professional households and small families seeking a turnkey, amenity-rich rental without the maintenance burden of ownership.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

How FastScreen aggregates public listing records, tracks active inventory, and calculates rental market metrics for Northshore.

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.
