The Signature Collection – Building J at 8081 Birchmount Road in Markham's City Centre submarket is a 149-suite residential tower completed in 2017 by Remington Group. As of August 31, 2026, two units are actively listed, representing a 1.3 percent availability rate. The building closed two leases in the trailing 30 days at an average of $2,625 per month with a 14-day average time on market, and five leases over the past 90 days averaging $2,550 per month with a 15-day average DOM.

Active asking rents average $2,650 per month at $3.86 per square foot across a 700-square-foot average footprint, compared to the 90-day realized lease average of $2,550 per month at $3.66 per square foot. Current listings carry a slightly larger average suite size than the historical lease cohort, which averaged 679 square feet, and the per-square-foot asking rate sits 7.8 percent above the Markham City Centre submarket asking benchmark of $3.58 per square foot.

Marketing friction is low: the 14-day active DOM and 14-to-15-day closed-lease DOM both sit well under the submarket average of 27 days, and zero units have been delisted or expired. Across all tracked closed transactions, tenants negotiated an average discount of $60 per month, or 2.53 percent below asking, with 42.9 percent of leases closing under the initial ask. Active inventory is split evenly between a single 1-Bedroom + Den listing and a single 2-Bedroom listing, meaning renters face single-unit scarcity at each tier rather than a broad selection.

The average suite size is 700 square feet at an asking rate of $3.86 per square foot. Inventory is split 50-50 between a 1-Bedroom + Den and a 2-Bedroom unit, so current availability spans both compact entry-level and multi-bedroom executive layouts rather than skewing toward one tier.

What floor plans and unit layouts are currently available at The Signature Collection - Building J?

The dominant active layout at The Signature Collection – Building J is the 1-Bedroom + Den, with one listing representing 50 percent of available inventory at an average asking rent of $2,300 per month across 550 square feet and a rate of $4.18 per square foot. The 2-Bedroom tier also holds one listing at 50 percent share, asking $3,000 per month for 850 square feet at $3.53 per square foot. Both tiers reflect single-listing samples, so each represents an individual deal rather than a broader market signal.

What is the average asking rent and $/SF by suite size at The Signature Collection - Building J?

The Signature Collection – Building J shows an active asking spread of $700 per month, from a minimum entry rent of $2,300 to a peak of $3,000, a 30.4 percent range. The median asking rent sits at $2,650 per month. The entry-level suite is a 1-Bedroom + Den at 550 square feet and $4.18 per square foot, while the peak offering is a 2-Bedroom at 850 square feet and $3.53 per square foot, illustrating that the larger unit commands a higher total rent but a lower per-square-foot rate.

How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at The Signature Collection - Building J?

Den premium data for The Signature Collection – Building J cannot be reliably quantified from the current active sample, as the dollar amount, square-footage delta, and marginal cost per square foot are all unrecorded. Active parking premiums likewise cannot be isolated; the paired sample is insufficient or contains anomalous outliers, so no specific monthly parking figure can be quoted with confidence.

How do asking rents at The Signature Collection - Building J compare to local and municipal benchmarks?

The Signature Collection – Building J asks an average of $2,650 per month at $3.86 per square foot, compared to the Markham City Centre submarket asking benchmark of $2,711 per month at $3.58 per square foot. The building's asking rate per square foot runs 7.8 percent above the submarket average, while the nominal monthly rent is slightly below the submarket figure because the average active suite at 700 square feet is marginally larger than the submarket norm. The building holds two out of 96 available listings in the submarket, representing roughly 2.1 percent of total active inventory.

Leased Transaction Insights & Questions

How many suites were leased at The Signature Collection - Building J last month, and how fast did they rent?

The Signature Collection - Building J at 8081 Birchmount Rd closed 2 leases in the trailing 30 days with an average of 14 days on market, compared to 5 leases at 15 DOM over 90 days and a submarket benchmark of 27 DOM. Lifetime volume stands at 7 closed leases, meaning the building has maintained steady but modest turnover rather than a surge in absorption. The 30-day DOM of 14 days sits well below the Markham City Centre average of 27 days, suggesting units that hit the market are clearing quickly when priced competitively.

What is the negotiation spread between asking rents and closed lease prices at The Signature Collection - Building J?

The Signature Collection - Building J closed leases at an average discount of $60 per month (2.53% below asking), translating to $720 in annual tenant savings per unit. Across the 7 tracked leases, 42.9% settled under the listed asking price, confirming measurable tenant leverage in negotiations. Landlords at this building are conceding on price rather than holding firm at sticker, a pattern consistent with a market where tenants can push back on rent without losing the unit.

What are typical executed lease prices across different layouts at The Signature Collection - Building J?

The two highest-volume anchor layouts at The Signature Collection - Building J are the 1-Bedroom + Den (3 leases, average $2,243/month, 49 DOM) and the 2-Bedroom (3 leases, average $2,800/month, 11 DOM). The 1-Bedroom + Den tier shows a median of $2,250 with a P25–P75 range of $2,225 to $2,265 across an average 583 square foot footprint at $3.87 per square foot. This is a limited sample of 3 closed leases and should be treated as a directional indicator only. The 2-Bedroom tier averages $2,800 with a median of $2,900 and a P25–P75 range of $2,700 to $2,950 across an average 817 square foot suite at $3.47 per square foot. This is also a limited sample of 3 closed leases and serves as a directional reference only. The 1-Bedroom tier recorded a single transaction at $2,100/month for 550 square feet at $3.82 per square foot with 20 DOM. This represents an individual single transaction, not a broad statistical benchmark.

What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at The Signature Collection - Building J?

The Signature Collection - Building J does not have a reliably isolable parking premium, as paired lease data is insufficient to separate parking costs from suite rent. Active listings at the building also show unreliable or outlier parking figures that cannot be quoted with confidence. Tenants should treat any advertised parking add-on as a negotiation item rather than a fixed market rate, and verify the exact monthly fee directly with the leasing office before signing.

How does the lease-to-listing ratio at The Signature Collection - Building J reflect current tenant demand?

The Signature Collection - Building J shows a volatile but broadly stable rent trajectory across the May-to-August 2026 window, with average monthly rents ranging from $2,240 to $2,900. In May, 2 deals closed at an average of $2,240/month and $3.75 per square foot after 63 days on market. June saw 2 deals at $2,300/month and $3.83 per square foot with DOM compressing sharply to 14 days. July recorded 1 deal at $2,900/month but a lower rate of $3.41 per square foot, reflecting a larger suite footprint rather than a pricing shift. August closed 2 deals at $2,625/month and $3.62 per square foot with 14 DOM, landing between the June and July marks.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory

The Signature Collection - Building J realized an average rent of $2,461/month and $3.69 per square foot across 7 lifetime leases, placing it $39 below the Markham City Centre submarket average of $2,500 but 3.4% above the submarket rate of $3.57 per square foot. The building's 29-day average DOM trails the submarket benchmark of 27 days by a narrow margin, indicating slightly slower clearance than the broader Markham City Centre pool of 96 active listings. On pricing discipline, 42.9% of tracked leases closed below asking, with tenants negotiating an average $60/month (2.53%) discount that equates to $720 in annual savings per unit. This tenant-favorable pattern signals that landlords at Building J are conceding on price rather than holding at sticker, and prospective renters should treat the listed asking rent as a starting point rather than a ceiling.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

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

The Signature Collection – Building J at 8081 Birchmount Rd sits in a tight cluster of four nearby competitors within 140 metres. Three peers carry active lease volume: The Signature Collection – Building K at 180 Enterprise Blvd (0.09 km, completed 2017) closed 21 leases over the trailing 180 days; Nexus South at 8110 Birchmount Rd (0.1 km, completed 2014) recorded 9 closed leases; and Rouge Bijou Arbor – Building D at 57 Upper Duke Cres (0.14 km, completed 2009) logged 5 closed leases. Gallery Square – Tower C at 38 Simcoe Prom (0.12 km, completed 2024) registered zero lease transactions in the same window and therefore functions as an architectural and amenity reference rather than a live pricing benchmark. The active set spans three structural generations—2009, 2014, and 2017—while the subject shares its 2017 completion year with Building K, placing it in the same construction cohort. Across the three active competitors, the blended benchmark averages $2,289 per month in realized rent, $3.50 per square foot, and 663 square feet of interior space. The Signature Collection – Building J leases at $2,461 per month and $3.69 per square foot across an average 679-square-foot suite, positioning it above the comp average on both rate and footprint. Against the submarket-wide Markham City Centre benchmark of $2,500 per month and $3.57 per square foot, the subject trades at a modest $39-per-month discount in nominal rent while carrying a 3.4 per cent premium on rate per square foot, a spread driven by its larger-than-average suite size relative to the nearest peers.

Does The Signature Collection - Building J offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?

The Signature Collection – Building J leases at $3.69 per square foot across an average 679-square-foot suite, positioning it at a rate premium over two of three active nearby competitors while matching the third on a per-square-foot basis. Against The Signature Collection – Building K (0.09 km), the subject trades at identical $3.69-per-square-foot parity yet provides 41 more interior square feet, so the $122-per-month higher nominal rent is driven entirely by the larger footprint rather than a rate advantage. Versus Nexus South (0.1 km), the subject commands a $0.14-per-square-foot (3.9 per cent) premium and delivers 38 more square feet, compounding both rate and size to produce the $228-per-month gap. Against Rouge Bijou Arbor – Building D (0.14 km), the subject carries a $0.44-per-square-foot (13.5 per cent) premium while providing 30 fewer interior square feet; here the higher nominal rent of $166 per month reflects a genuinely stronger per-square-foot valuation that more than offsets the smaller suite, making the subject the pricier option on both a rate and total-cost basis despite the reduced footprint.

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

The Signature Collection – Building J offers an eight-feature lifestyle package anchored by an indoor pool, hot tub and jacuzzi, gym and fitness centre, rooftop terrace, meeting room, party and lounge room, concierge and security, and a car wash bay that no nearby competitor replicates. The car wash bay is the building's signature differentiator—absent from Building K, Nexus South, Rouge Bijou Arbor, and Gallery Square alike—giving residents an in-building vehicle-cleaning convenience that shifts daily errands off-site. The indoor pool and hot tub pair also sets the subject apart from Rouge Bijou Arbor – Building D and Gallery Square – Tower C, neither of which includes aquatic or hydrotherapy facilities. Where the subject trails, it is in wellness and recreation depth: Nexus South layers in a cold plunge pool, rain shower, sauna and steam room, therapy room, and pet wash station, while Rouge Bijou Arbor adds a golf simulator, dining room and kitchen, and media and theatre room that the subject does not carry. The package as configured—aquatic recreation, a dedicated meeting room for remote work, rooftop outdoor space, and the unique car wash bay—best serves young professional and dual-income households in Markham City Centre who prioritize convenience, social hosting, and low-maintenance vehicle care over the deeper wellness or entertainment suites found at older or newer adjacent towers.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

How FastScreen aggregates public listing records, tracks active inventory, and calculates rental market metrics for The Signature Collection - Building J.

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.
