Does Encore at Crystal Towers offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?

Encore at Crystal Towers establishes its value proposition by balancing functional square footage against competitive micro-market rates per square foot relative to alternatives like Cranbrooke Village and 3000 Bathurst. Renters evaluating these options weigh distinct trade-offs, such as selecting Cranbrooke Village's newer layout efficiency, modern finishes, and smaller 616 square foot footprints leased at $3.46 per square foot against larger, more traditional floor plans found in buildings built in the 1980s and 1990s. While older alternatives like 3000 Bathurst offer spacious 975 square foot layouts at $3.25 per square foot and Crystal Towers provides expansive 1,100 square foot floor plans at $3.00 per square foot, Encore at Crystal Towers captures a middle ground of generous suite sizing and stable building age value.

Snapshot Dates & Benchmark Cadence

  • Standardized Snapshot: Market metrics reflect a standardized monthly snapshot locked as of August 31, 2026.

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.
