Year Completed1999

DeveloperGoldlist & Korank

Opera Place I at 887 Bay Street in Toronto's Downtown Core is a 161-suite residential building completed in 1999 by Goldlist & Korank. As of August 31, 2026, the tower carries a single active listing, representing a 0.6 percent availability rate across its full inventory. Leasing activity remains steady, with four closed leases in the trailing 30 days at an average 18 days on market and ten leases over the past 90 days averaging 15 days on market.

The one available unit asks $2,500 per month for 550 square feet, translating to a rate of $4.55 per square foot. That asking rate sits above the 90-day realized average of $4.01 per square foot, even though the nominal monthly rent is lower than the 90-day lease average of $2,755. The gap resolves through footprint: the active suite at 550 square feet is notably more compact than the 718-square-foot average across all tracked historical leases. Against the Downtown Core submarket asking benchmark of $4.56 per square foot, Opera Place I's active rate is essentially at parity, just 0.2 percent below.

Marketing friction at this building is minimal. The active listing has been on market for three days, well under the submarket average of 21 days, and no delisted, terminated, or expired listings appear in the record. Negotiation leverage across all eleven tracked closed leases is effectively neutral, with landlords closing at a negligible $3 per month premium above asking. For renters, the practical constraint is inventory depth: a single one-bedroom unit is the entirety of current availability, leaving no multi-bedroom or two-bedroom options to compare.

Active Market Insights & Questions

How has rental availability changed at Opera Place I recently?

Opera Place I has one active listing as of August 31, 2026, asking $2,500 per month with both the average and median rent at $2,500. The available suite measures 550 square feet at an asking rate of $4.55 per square foot. The entire active inventory is a single one-bedroom unit, meaning the building currently offers no multi-bedroom or executive-layout options for prospective renters.

What floor plans and unit layouts are currently available at Opera Place I?

The sole active layout at Opera Place I is a one-bedroom unit, representing 100 percent of the building's current available inventory. That single listing asks $2,500 per month for 550 square feet at $4.55 per square foot. No two-bedroom, three-bedroom, or den-included units are currently listed, so renters seeking larger footprints must look to the broader Downtown Core submarket.

What is the average asking rent and $/SF by suite size at Opera Place I?

Opera Place I's active pricing spread is zero dollars and zero percent, as the single available unit sets both the minimum and maximum asking rent at $2,500 per month. The entry-level and peak suite are the same one-bedroom unit at 550 square feet and $4.55 per square foot. With only one listing on the market, there is no internal price gradient for renters to navigate within this building.

How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at Opera Place I?

Den premiums at Opera Place I cannot be quantified, as no active listings include a den configuration and no paired den-versus-non-den data exists in the current sample. Parking stall costs likewise cannot be reliably isolated from the available transaction data; the sample is insufficient to separate a consistent parking add-on from the base rent. Renters should confirm any parking or den-related charges directly with the leasing office before signing.

How do asking rents at Opera Place I compare to local and municipal benchmarks?

Opera Place I's active asking rate of $4.55 per square foot sits 0.2 percent below the Downtown Core submarket asking benchmark of $4.56 per square foot, placing the building at effective parity on a rate basis. The nominal asking rent of $2,500 per month is lower than the submarket average asking rent of $3,471, but that gap is explained by suite size: the active unit at 550 square feet is 211 square feet smaller than the submarket implied average of 761 square feet. Opera Place I's single listing represents one out of 224 total active listings across the Downtown Core submarket.

Leased Transaction Insights & Questions

How many suites were leased at Opera Place I last month, and how fast did they rent?

Opera Place I at 887 Bay St closed 4 leases in the trailing 30 days with an average DOM of 18, compared to a 90-day average DOM of 15 and a Downtown Core submarket benchmark of 21 days. The building logged 10 closings over 90 days and 11 over the full trailing year, meaning the most recent 30-day window captured nearly 36% of annual volume. Leasing cadence accelerated sharply into summer, with July and August together accounting for 9 of the 11 tracked transactions.

What is the negotiation spread between asking rents and closed lease prices at Opera Place I?

Opera Place I landlords achieved an average premium of $3 per month (0.02% above asking) across tracked leases, generating approximately $36 per year in additional rental revenue per unit. This is a balanced negotiation environment where tenants paid at or marginally above the listed rate, with no meaningful concession pattern. The net spread of $3 represents negligible variance, confirming that asking prices at this building are well-calibrated to market-clearing levels.

What are typical executed lease prices across different layouts at Opera Place I?

The 1-Bedroom layout dominates Opera Place I's lease volume with 6 closings averaging $2,425 per month and a 9-day DOM, while the 1-Bedroom + Den tier adds 3 leases at $2,650 per month with a 31-day DOM. The 1-Bedroom tier (moderate sample of 6) shows a median of $2,500, a P25–P75 range of $2,425 to $2,650, an average suite size of 650 square feet, and a rate of $4.08 per square foot. The 1-Bedroom + Den tier is a limited sample of 3 leases (directional indicator only), with a median of $2,700, a P25–P75 range of $2,600 to $2,725, an average size of 683 square feet, and a rate of $3.89 per square foot. The 2-Bedroom tier is a small sample of just 2 leases (directional indicator only), averaging $3,775 per month with a P25–P75 range of $3,762 to $3,788, an average size of 975 square feet, a rate of $3.88 per square foot, and a 15-day DOM.

What measurable rent premium did suites with parking achieve in closed leases at Opera Place I?

Opera Place I does not have a reliably isolable parking premium, as the paired lease data is insufficient to separate bundled parking costs from base rent. The active listing also shows an unreliable parking figure flagged as an anomalous outlier, so no verified parking rate can be quoted. Tenants at this building should confirm whether parking is included in the listed rent or billed separately before signing.

How does the lease-to-listing ratio at Opera Place I reflect current tenant demand?

Opera Place I rents trended upward from spring into mid-summer 2026 before moderating in August, with the tracked timeline spanning April through August. April saw 1 closing at $2,500 per month ($3.85 per square foot, 26-day DOM). June recorded 1 closing at $2,400 per month but a higher rate of $4.36 per square foot on a 4-day DOM—the lower nominal rent reflects a compact suite footprint rather than property devaluation. July was the peak month with 5 closings averaging $2,880 per month at $4.39 per square foot and a 15-day DOM. August closed 4 deals at $2,688 per month and $3.43 per square foot with an 18-day DOM, where the lower rate per square foot signals larger average suite sizes in that cohort.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory

Opera Place I's average realized rent of $2,732 per month sits approximately 6.8% below the Downtown Core submarket average of $2,931, while its rate of $3.99 per square foot trails the submarket benchmark of $4.48 by roughly 11%. This discount reflects the building's compact suite footprints—averaging 718 square feet—rather than a quality or location penalty, as the 16-day average DOM outperforms the submarket's 21-day norm. Pricing discipline at Opera Place I is tight. Landlords closed at a marginal premium of $3 per month (0.02%) above asking across the 11 tracked leases, translating to roughly $36 per year in incremental revenue per unit. The near-zero variance confirms that listed prices are set at market-clearing levels, with neither meaningful tenant concessions nor aggressive landlord markups distorting the transaction record.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

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

Opera Place I at 887 Bay St sits in a dense cluster of four active competitors within 90 metres, all recording closed lease transactions over the trailing 180 days. Opera Place II (889 Bay St, 0.02 km, completed 1999) closed 10 leases; The Allegro at Opera Place (909 Bay St, 0.08 km, completed 2001) closed 18; Murano – North Tower (37 Grosvenor St, 0.08 km, completed 2009) closed 35; and Burano Condominiums (832 Bay St, 0.09 km, completed 2013) closed 46. The peer set spans a 14-year construction window from the late-1990s Opera Place pair through the 2013 Burano tower, giving renters a clear generational gradient in unit layout, building systems, and amenity depth. Across those four active benchmarks, the micro-market averages $3,057 per month in realized rent, $4.10 per square foot, and 765 square feet of interior space. Opera Place I's all-time leased profile of $2,732 per month, $3.99 per square foot, and 718 square feet places the subject roughly 11 percent below the comp average on nominal rent and about 6 percent below on interior footprint. The building's 1999 construction and 161-suite scale position it as the most compact, value-oriented option in this immediate Bay Street pocket, trading a smaller suite envelope and an older building age against a lower monthly outlay for cost-sensitive professionals.

Comparable Analysis & Questions

How do rental rates at Opera Place I compare to neighbouring buildings within Downtown Core?

Opera Place I's average realized lease rent of $2,732 per month sits $325 below the four-comp benchmark of $3,057, with the gap widening as competitors' completion years advance. Opera Place II (889 Bay St, 0.02 km, 10 closed leases) averages $3,106 per month at $3.79 per square foot across 840 square feet, placing the subject $374 lower on a monthly basis. The Allegro at Opera Place (909 Bay St, 0.08 km, 18 closed leases) averages $2,801 per month at $4.04 per square foot over 719 square feet, a $69 monthly gap. Murano – North Tower (37 Grosvenor St, 0.08 km, 35 closed leases) averages $3,003 per month at $4.37 per square foot across 692 square feet, leaving the subject $271 lower. Burano Condominiums (832 Bay St, 0.09 km, 46 closed leases) averages $3,317 per month at $4.18 per square foot over 810 square feet, the widest spread at $585 below the subject's realized rent.

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

At $3.99 per square foot and 718 average square feet, Opera Place I trades at a modest discount to the comp-set average of $4.10 per square foot and 765 square feet, delivering a lower total monthly cost through a slightly tighter interior footprint rather than a rate concession. Against Opera Place II, the subject commands a $0.20 per square foot (5.3 percent) premium yet provides 122 fewer interior square feet, so the higher per-foot rate is more than offset by the smaller envelope, netting a $374 monthly saving. Versus The Allegro at Opera Place, the subject trades at a $0.05 per square foot (1.2 percent) discount with essentially identical 718-versus-719 square footage, a near-parity trade-off that keeps the monthly gap to just $69. Murano – North Tower presents the sharpest contrast: the subject trades at a $0.38 per square foot (8.7 percent) discount while actually providing 26 more interior square feet, meaning renters gain both space and rate relief for a $271 monthly reduction. Burano Condominiums carries a $0.19 per square foot (4.5 percent) premium over the subject with 92 more square feet per suite, so the subject's lower nominal rent of $585 per month reflects a meaningfully smaller interior rather than a weaker asset valuation.

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

Opera Place I fields a ten-item amenity suite anchored by an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, gym, and a squash and racquetball court that no nearby competitor replicates. The squash and racquetball court is the building's signature differentiator: Opera Place II, The Allegro at Opera Place, Murano – North Tower, and Burano Condominiums each offer gyms and steam rooms but none provide a dedicated racquet sport facility. Where the subject falls short, three of the four peers add rooftop terraces, garden or courtyard spaces, and business centres (Murano and Burano), while Burano extends its aquatic offering with an outdoor pool and a full dining room and kitchen. The Allegro and Murano layer in yoga studios and running tracks absent from the subject's roster. This package—indoor aquatic recreation, a unique racquet court, meeting and media rooms, and concierge security without rooftop or outdoor lifestyle add-ons—suits the professional renter who prioritizes year-round indoor fitness and social space over al-fresco amenities, particularly those who value a compact, low-maintenance downtown base with a built-in recreational edge.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards

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

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.
