DeveloperLee Developments

Hillsborough Court II at 8 Lee Centre Drive in Scarborough City Centre is a 236-suite residential building completed in 1997 by Lee Developments. As of August 31, 2026, a single unit is actively listed, representing a 0.4 percent availability rate across the tower. Recent leasing activity shows one closed lease in the past 30 days with an average 35-day marketing period, and four additional leases in the trailing 90 days averaging 37 days on market.

The active asking rent of $2,300 per month sits below the 90-day realized lease average of $2,629 per month, yet the per-square-foot rate of $3.07 per square foot edges slightly above the 90-day lease benchmark of $3.02 per square foot. This divergence reflects the current listing's 750-square-foot footprint compared to the 826-square-foot average across all historical leases at the property, meaning the lower monthly outlay is driven by more compact suite sizing rather than a cheaper per-unit rate. Against the broader Scarborough City Centre submarket asking benchmark of $3.34 per square foot, Hillsborough Court II's active rate is 8.1 percent more competitive on a per-square-foot basis.

Marketing friction at this property remains minimal: zero units have been delisted, and the single active listing has carried for 76 days on market. Negotiation data across five lifetime leases indicates tenants secured an average discount of $38 per month, with 80 percent of closed deals settling below the original asking price. Active inventory depth is extremely thin, with the sole available unit occupying the one-bedroom-plus-den tier and no other bedroom categories currently open for lease.

Active Market Insights & Questions

How has rental availability changed at Hillsborough Court II recently?

Hillsborough Court II carries one active listing as of August 31, 2026, with an asking rent of $2,300 per month representing both the minimum and maximum in the current range. The average and median asking rent are identical at $2,300 per month across the single available suite. The listing averages 750 square feet at $3.07 per square foot, and the 100 percent inventory share in the one-bedroom-plus-den tier indicates a compact entry-level profile rather than multi-bedroom executive availability.

What floor plans and unit layouts are currently available at Hillsborough Court II?

The one-bedroom-plus-den layout is the sole active configuration at Hillsborough Court II, accounting for 100 percent of current inventory with a single listing. That unit asks $2,300 per month for 750 square feet, translating to $3.07 per square foot. No other bedroom tiers—studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or three-bedroom—currently have available units in the building.

What is the average asking rent and $/SF by suite size at Hillsborough Court II?

Hillsborough Court II's active availability is concentrated in a single price point of $2,300 per month, producing a dollar spread of zero and a percentage spread of zero. The median asking rent likewise sits at $2,300 per month. The entry-level and peak suite are the same unit: a one-bedroom-plus-den of 750 square feet priced at $3.07 per square foot, leaving no tier differentiation within the current active inventory.

How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at Hillsborough Court II?

Hillsborough Court II's active den premium cannot be quantified from current listings, as the single available unit already includes a den within its 750-square-foot footprint and no paired comparison without a den exists in the active set. Parking stall costs likewise cannot be reliably isolated from the current listing data, and no verified parking premium is available from historical lease records at this property.

How do asking rents at Hillsborough Court II compare to local and municipal benchmarks?

Hillsborough Court II's active asking rent of $2,300 per month and rate of $3.07 per square foot both trail the Scarborough City Centre submarket asking benchmarks of $2,495 per month and $3.34 per square foot respectively. The building's per-square-foot rate runs 8.1 percent below the submarket asking average, confirming genuinely competitive unit pricing independent of suite size. With one active listing out of 74 total submarket listings, Hillsborough Court II represents approximately 1.4 percent of current Scarborough City Centre rental inventory.

Leased Transaction Insights & Questions

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

Hillsborough Court II closed one lease in the trailing 30 days at an average of 35 days on market, compared to a 90-day average of 37 DOM and a submarket benchmark of 28 DOM. Over the past 90 days the building signed four leases, and its full one-year and lifetime totals both stand at five closed transactions. Leasing turnover moderated over the summer: April and June each produced a single deal, July accelerated to two closings, and August returned to one, indicating a slow but steady cadence rather than a sustained surge.

What is the negotiation spread between asking rents and closed lease prices at Hillsborough Court II?

Hillsborough Court II tenants negotiated an average discount of $38 per month (1.59% below asking), saving them $456 per year in rent. Eighty percent of the five lifetime leases closed under the listed asking price, confirming consistent tenant leverage in this submarket. Landlords at this building are conceding on price rather than holding firm, a pattern that reflects the soft demand signal embedded in the 35-to-41-day marketing windows.

What are typical executed lease prices across different layouts at Hillsborough Court II?

The two highest-volume anchor layouts at Hillsborough Court II are the one-bedroom and two-bedroom tiers, each accounting for 40% of closed leases. One-bedroom units (small sample of two deals) averaged $1,913 per month with a median of $1,912, a P25–P75 range of $1,906 to $1,919, an average size of 550 square feet at $3.48 per square foot, and 68 days on market. Two-bedroom units (small sample of two deals) averaged $2,525 per month with a median of $2,525, a P25–P75 range of $2,512 to $2,538, an average size of 865 square feet at $2.92 per square foot, and 17 days on market. The three-bedroom-plus tier represents an individual single transaction: one lease at $3,540 per month for a 1,300-square-foot suite at $2.72 per square foot, closed in 35 days. This single deal is an individual transaction, not a broad statistical benchmark.

What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at Hillsborough Court II?

Hillsborough Court II does not have sufficient paired lease data to isolate a reliable parking premium, and the active listing's parking figure is flagged as an unreliable outlier. No verified monthly parking surcharge can be quoted for this building. Prospective tenants should request a written breakdown of any parking or storage fees directly from the landlord, as the current dataset does not support a defensible per-space valuation.

How does the lease-to-listing ratio at Hillsborough Court II reflect current tenant demand?

Hillsborough Court II shows a rising rent trajectory across the tracked spring-to-summer timeline, climbing from $1,900 in April to $3,540 by August. April closed one deal at $1,900 per month, $3.45 per square foot, and 56 days on market. June closed one deal at $1,925 per month, $3.50 per square foot, and 79 days on market. July closed two deals at an average of $2,525 per month, $2.92 per square foot, and 17 days on market. August closed one deal at $3,540 per month, $2.72 per square foot, and 35 days on market. The step-up in July and August reflects a shift toward larger suite types rather than a uniform rate increase across all layouts.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory

Hillsborough Court II, a 236-suite Lee Developments property at 8 Lee Centre Drive in Scarborough City Centre registered in 1997, has closed five leases over its tracked lifetime at an average rent of $2,483 per month and $3.10 per square foot across an average suite size of 826 square feet. The building's lifetime average days on market stands at 41, with tenant turnover concentrated in the spring-to-summer window of 2026, suggesting a modest but steady leasing cadence typical of a mature Scarborough City Centre asset. On pricing discipline, 80% of the five lifetime leases closed below asking, with tenants capturing an average $38-per-month discount (1.59%) that translates to $456 in annual savings. This tenant-favorable negotiation pattern indicates landlords are conceding on price to close deals within the 35-to-79-day marketing windows, rather than holding firm at listed rates. The submarket's 28-day average DOM and $2,449 average lease rent provide context: Hillsborough Court II's 41-day lifetime DOM runs above the submarket norm, reinforcing the read that pricing flexibility is the primary lever driving closings here.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

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

Hillsborough Court II at 8 Lee Centre Dr sits in a tight competitive cluster of four nearby buildings within 170 metres, all registered in Scarborough City Centre. The closest rival, Hillsborough Court I at 18 Lee Centre Dr (0.05 km), was completed in 1997 and recorded seven closed leases over the trailing 180 days. Ellipse I (36 Lee Centre Dr, 0.12 km) and Ellipse II (38 Lee Centre Dr, 0.17 km), both completed in 2004, logged 23 and 21 closed lease transactions respectively in the same window. The oldest property in the set, Residences at the Consilium I at 88 Corporate Dr (0.17 km, built in 1992), closed six leases over the past 180 days. The subject building, also completed in 1997, shares its structural generation with Hillsborough Court I but predates the Ellipse pair by roughly seven years and the Consilium tower by five. Across the four comparables, the average closed-lease rent is $2,376 per month at an average rate of $3.42 per square foot and a mean suite size of 739 square feet. Hillsborough Court II's realized lease average of $2,483 per month at $3.10 per square foot over 826 square feet places it above the comp set on both absolute rent and interior area while trading at a meaningful per-square-foot discount. In practical terms, a tenant at 8 Lee Centre Dr receives 68 to 135 additional square feet of living space compared with the nearby alternatives, yet pays a lower rate per square foot than every single competitor in this micro-market, making the building's age-driven value proposition one of generous footprint at a competitive unit price.

Comparable Analysis & Questions

How do rental rates at Hillsborough Court II compare to neighbouring buildings within Scarborough City Centre?

Hillsborough Court II's average closed-lease rent of $2,483 per month sits $107 above the four-comp average of $2,376, yet the subject's larger suite sizes mean the per-square-foot cost is actually lower than every nearby competitor. Hillsborough Court I at 18 Lee Centre Dr (0.05 km) closed leases averaging $2,421 per month at $3.11 per square foot over 800 square feet, a spread of just $62 (2.6%) below the subject. Ellipse I at 36 Lee Centre Dr (0.12 km) recorded an average of $2,241 per month at $3.30 per square foot across 691 square feet, and Ellipse II at 38 Lee Centre Dr (0.17 km) averaged $2,283 per month at $3.30 per square foot over 708 square feet. Residences at the Consilium I at 88 Corporate Dr (0.17 km) posted the highest comp rent at $2,558 per month but at a steep $3.96 per square foot over 758 square feet, making it the most expensive option in the cluster on a unit-cost basis.

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

Hillsborough Court II leases at $3.10 per square foot over an average of 826 square feet, delivering more interior space than every nearby competitor at a lower per-square-foot rate than each one. Against Hillsborough Court I (800 sq ft at $3.11/sq ft), the subject adds 26 square feet while trading at a $0.01 per square foot discount. Compared with Ellipse I (691 sq ft at $3.30/sq ft) and Ellipse II (708 sq ft at $3.30/sq ft), the subject provides 135 and 118 additional square feet respectively, each at a $0.20 per square foot (6.1%) discount. Residences at the Consilium I (758 sq ft at $3.96/sq ft) is the widest gap: the subject offers 68 more square feet at a $0.86 per square foot (21.7%) discount. Tenants choosing Hillsborough Court II are not surrendering space or accepting a smaller footprint; they are gaining meaningful extra area while paying less per square foot than any alternative in this immediate cluster.

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

Hillsborough Court II's amenity package at 8 Lee Centre Dr blends full-service recreation with dedicated social spaces that several nearby competitors do not match. The subject's Table Tennis and Card Room offerings are absent from all four comparables, giving residents a low-impact social and light-activity option that neither the Ellipse pair nor the Consilium tower provides. While Residences at the Consilium I counters with an Outdoor Pool and Bowling Alley, and Hillsborough Court I adds a Tennis & Pickleball Court and Children's Playground, the subject's combination of an Indoor Pool, Hot Tub & Jacuzzi, Sauna & Steam Room, Squash & Racquetball Court, and Badminton Court delivers a more concentrated indoor recreation suite without requiring residents to step outside in winter. The Ellipse buildings offer a Media & Theatre Room and BBQ Area that the subject lacks, but the subject's dedicated Games & Billiards Room, Library & Reading Room, and Garden & Courtyard create a quieter, community-oriented lifestyle profile. This package best serves established professionals and small households in their mid-30s to 50s who prioritise on-site fitness, indoor recreation, and a concierge-managed environment over high-energy social or family-oriented amenities.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

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

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.
