Residences of College Park I (763 Bay St) logs an average lease rent of $2,878 per month at $4.27 per square foot across 701 square feet. The Tower (736 Bay St) averages $2,527 per month at $4.22 per square foot across 611 square feet.

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

Lumiere establishes its value proposition by trading at an average of $4.17 per square foot across an average footprint of 716 square feet, positioning itself competitively against surrounding mid-2000s and 1990s alternatives in the Downtown Core submarket. Renters evaluating Lumiere weigh the benefits of a 2011 construction age against older alternatives like The Penrose (896 square feet at $3.67 per square foot) and Residences of College Park II (800 square feet at $3.89 per square foot), where larger legacy layouts yield lower nominal rates per square foot but trade away modern finish integration. Conversely, when compared against compact footprints such as The Tower (611 square feet at $4.22 per square foot) and Residences of College Park I (701 square feet at $4.27 per square foot), Lumiere provides more interior square footage while offering a more competitive rate per square foot than Residences of College Park I.

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

Lumiere delivers a robust lifestyle and amenity package that stands out within its immediate Bay Street micro-market, featuring signature offerings such as an indoor pool, a fully equipped gym and fitness centre, a dedicated yoga studio, an expansive rooftop terrace with a BBQ area, and a private squash and racquetball court. When contrasted with nearby competitors, Lumiere's wellness and recreational options rival or exceed older properties; for instance, while The Penrose features an indoor running track and hot tubs, Lumiere counters with its specialized squash and racquetball court and contemporary yoga studio. Similarly, compared to Residences of College Park I and II—which include golf simulators and business centres—Lumiere emphasizes active fitness and social hosting via its dedicated games and media rooms, making it particularly attractive to young professionals and urban couples seeking an active downtown lifestyle.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

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

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.
