Charlie — Rental Market Data

Charlie at 8 Charlotte Street holds three active rental listings as of August 31, 2026, with asking rents ranging from $2,100 to $2,800 per month, an average of $2,433, and a median of $2,400. The average suite size across these listings is 500 square feet at an asking rate of $4.90 per square foot. One-bedroom layouts account for 66.7 percent of active inventory, indicating the current availability leans toward compact one-bedroom suites rather than multi-bedroom executive layouts.

The dominant active layout at Charlie is the one-bedroom, with two units representing 66.7 percent of current availability at an average asking rent of $2,600 per month across 550 square feet and a rate of $4.73 per square foot. The studio tier holds a single listing at $2,100 per month for 400 square feet, equating to $5.25 per square foot. No two-bedroom or larger layouts are currently available in the building.

Charlie's three active listings span a $700 spread from a minimum entry rent of $2,100 to a peak asking rent of $2,800 per month, a 33.3 percent range. The median asking rent sits at $2,400 per month. The entry-level suite is a 400-square-foot studio priced at $5.25 per square foot, while the peak listing is a 550-square-foot one-bedroom at $5.09 per square foot.

Charlie's active den premium cannot be quantified from current listings, as no paired den versus non-den comparison exists in the available sample. Parking stall premiums also cannot be reliably isolated from the three active listings due to insufficient paired data or anomalous outliers, and no verified parking fee benchmark exists from historical leases either. Renters should request individual parking and den pricing directly from the leasing office.

Charlie's active asking rent of $2,433 per month and $4.90 per square foot compare favorably against the Entertainment District submarket averages of $3,542 per month and $5.53 per square foot. The building's 11.4 percent discount on a per-square-foot basis reflects both competitive unit pricing and more compact suite sizing relative to the submarket average. Charlie's three active listings represent approximately 2 percent of the 153 total active listings across the Entertainment District submarket.

Charlie's all-time average lease rent of $3,194 per month sits $578 above the four-comparable average of $2,616, reflecting its larger suite footprints and broader amenity package. King Charlotte at 11 Charlotte St reports an average lease of $2,768 per month at $5.67 per square foot across 505 square feet; Gläs at 25 Oxley St averages $2,552 per month at $4.23 per square foot for 619 square feet; Hudson at 438 King St W leases at $2,795 per month, $4.25 per square foot, and 666 square feet; and The Charlotte at 36 Charlotte St records $2,350 per month at $3.62 per square foot for 650 square feet. Charlie's premium over each competitor is driven primarily by its 711-square-foot average unit size rather than a rate-per-square-foot markup, making the higher absolute rent a function of scale rather than a pricing gap.

Charlie delivers 711 average square feet at approximately $4.47 per square foot, positioning it as the most spacious option in its immediate Charlotte Street and King Street West peer group while trading at or near the submarket leased benchmark of $4.52 per square foot. Compared to King Charlotte's 505-square-foot suites at $5.67 per square foot, Charlie provides 206 additional square feet at a $1.20 per square foot discount, meaning tenants gain roughly 41 percent more interior space for less per-unit cost. Against Gläs (619 sq ft, $4.23/SF), Hudson (666 sq ft, $4.25/SF), and The Charlotte (650 sq ft, $3.62/SF), Charlie's 711-square-foot footprint is the largest in the set, with per-square-foot rates ranging from a $0.24 premium over Gläs to a $0.85 premium over The Charlotte—modest differentials that are more than offset by the extra living area. Renters choosing Charlie accept a slightly higher absolute monthly payment in exchange for materially more usable space, a trade-off that favours those prioritizing square footage over the lowest possible per-square-foot rate.

Charlie's 15-amenity lifestyle package is the most comprehensive in its immediate Charlotte Street and King Street West competitive set, offering features absent from every one of its four nearby peers. The building's outdoor pool is unavailable at Gläs or The Charlotte, its dedicated yoga studio does not appear at any of the four competitors, and its music room and library and reading room are unique to Charlie across the entire comparable group. The on-site espresso bar further distinguishes Charlie from King Charlotte, Gläs, Hudson, and The Charlotte, none of which list a dedicated café or beverage service. Combined with its sauna and steam room, media and theatre room, and rooftop terrace, Charlie's amenity depth targets young professionals and creative tenants in the Entertainment District who want a wellness-oriented, socially active, and work-adjacent lifestyle without leaving the building.
