DeveloperRonto Development

St. James Square at 95 Lombard Street in Toronto's St. Lawrence neighbourhood is a 65-suite residential building completed in 1990 by Ronto Development. As of August 31, 2026, one unit is actively listed, representing a 1.5 percent availability rate across the building. Leasing activity has been modest: zero closed leases in the trailing 30 days, one lease signed in the past 90 days at an average of $2,850 per month with a five-day marketing period, and three leases recorded over the full year averaging $2,983 per month.

The single active listing asks $3,750 per month for 1,100 square feet, translating to $3.41 per square foot. That rate sits below the 90-day realized lease average of $3.80 per square foot, even though the nominal monthly rent is higher because the active suite is 233 square feet larger than the 867-square-foot average across all tracked historical leases. Against the St. Lawrence submarket asking benchmark of $4.51 per square foot, St. James Square's active rate trades 24.4 percent below the neighbourhood norm, a gap fully explained by the suite's expansive footprint relative to the submarket's implied 651-square-foot average.

Marketing friction on the active listing is minimal at five days on market, well under the submarket average of 21 days, and the zero-delisting record in the trailing period reinforces steady tenant turnover. However, inventory depth is effectively nonexistent for renters: the sole available unit is a 2-Bedroom + Den, leaving no one-bedroom or studio options at this address. Historical leasing data shows the building's dominant closed-lease layout was the 1-Bedroom + Den at 66.7 percent of tracked transactions, so renters seeking that configuration must look to the broader St. Lawrence submarket's 116 active listings.

Active Market Insights & Questions

How has rental availability changed at St. James Square recently?

St. James Square has one active listing as of August 31, 2026, priced at $3,750 per month with both the average and median asking rent at that same figure. The available suite spans 1,100 square feet at an asking rate of $3.41 per square foot. This single listing is a 2-Bedroom + Den, meaning 100 percent of current inventory sits in the multi-bedroom executive tier rather than compact entry-level configurations.

What floor plans and unit layouts are currently available at St. James Square?

The sole active layout at St. James Square is the 2-Bedroom + Den, accounting for 100 percent of available inventory with one listing at an average asking rent of $3,750 per month. That unit measures 1,100 square feet and carries an asking rate of $3.41 per square foot. No one-bedroom, studio, or other bedroom tiers are currently on the market at this address.

What is the average asking rent and $/SF by suite size at St. James Square?

St. James Square's single active listing sets both the minimum and maximum asking rent at $3,750 per month, producing a dollar spread of zero and a percentage spread of zero. The entry-level and peak suite are the same unit: a 2-Bedroom + Den measuring 1,100 square feet at $3.41 per square foot. With only one listing on the market, no meaningful price gradient exists within the building's current inventory.

How much extra do parking spaces and dens cost at St. James Square?

St. James Square's active den premium and associated square-footage delta cannot be quantified from the current single-listing sample, as no paired den-versus-no-den comparison is available. Parking stall costs likewise cannot be reliably isolated; the data set flags the premium as an unreliable outlier or insufficient paired sample, so no specific monthly parking fee should be assumed. Renters should request a direct parking quote from the property manager before signing a lease.

How do asking rents at St. James Square compare to local and municipal benchmarks?

St. James Square's active asking rent of $3,750 per month exceeds the St. Lawrence submarket average of $2,934, yet the building's rate of $3.41 per square foot trades 24.4 percent below the submarket asking benchmark of $4.51 per square foot. The nominal rent premium is entirely a function of suite size: the active 1,100-square-foot unit is 449 square feet larger than the submarket's implied 651-square-foot average, so renters are paying for substantially more living space rather than a per-unit-area markup. St. James Square represents one out of 116 active listings in the St. Lawrence submarket, or roughly 0.9 percent of total available inventory.

De-Listed Market Analysis & Questions

How many listings de-listed at St. James Square, and what was their re-listing price compared to previous asking?

St. James Square logged three delisted units in the tracked period, all classified as terminated listings with zero expired or suspended entries, representing a 100% delisted-to-lifetime-leased ratio given zero 30-day lease volume. This one-for-one churn ratio signals that every unit that failed to lease was pulled from the market rather than repriced and re-listed. The pattern points to landlord frustration with overpriced asking rents rather than a structural vacancy problem across the 65-suite building.

How do asking prices on de-listed suites compare to executed leases and active listings at St. James Square?

St. James Square unrented units asked an average of $3,858 per month, which is $1,008 per month (35.4%) above the $2,850 realized lease average, indicating direct overpricing relative to market-clearing levels. The delisted rate per square foot of $3.51 matched the lifetime lease average of $3.51 per square foot, confirming the spread is driven by asking-price inflation on larger suites rather than a genuine density premium. Landlords priced these units well above what St. Lawrence tenants were willing to pay, and the market rejected that positioning within 14 days.

What market friction causes rental listings to stall or de-list at St. James Square?

St. James Square delisted units averaged 14 days on market compared to a 20-day realized lease DOM, meaning unrented listings actually sat for six fewer days than successful leases. The friction here is price-based rather than time-based: landlords pulled overpriced units after roughly two weeks rather than discounting and waiting. At the $3,858 asking rate, each additional month of vacancy would have carried approximately $3,858 in lost rent plus ongoing condo maintenance fees, making the quick delisting a rational cost-avoidance decision.

12-Month Market Dynamics & Trend Trajectory

St. James Square realized an average lease rent of $2,983 per month and $3.51 per square foot across three lifetime transactions, positioning the building 12.5% above the St. Lawrence submarket average lease rent of $2,658 but 10% below the submarket average rate of $4.22 per square foot. The active 2-Bedroom + Den at 1,100 square feet and $3,750 per month trades at $3.41 per square foot, which is 24.4% below the submarket asking rate of $4.51 per square foot. This gap exists because the subject suite is 449 square feet larger than the submarket implied average of 651 square feet, so the higher nominal rent is driven by expansive suite size rather than a density premium. Pricing discipline at St. James Square skews landlord-favorable, with all tracked leases closing at or above asking and an average premium of $67 per month (2.15%) above the listed rate. This generated $804 per year in additional rental revenue for landlords across the three tracked transactions, and zero leases settled below asking. The absence of any tenant discount in the dataset indicates that the building's larger-than-average suite footprints and Lombard Street location give landlords sufficient pricing leverage to hold or exceed asking in a submarket where 116 active listings compete for a limited renter pool.

Nearby Building Rental Comparables & Price Spreads

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

St. James Square at 95 Lombard St sits in a tight cluster of four nearby buildings within 80 metres, split between two active leasing peers and two zero-transaction architectural references. The French Quarter I (120 Lombard St, 0.05 km, completed 2004) recorded 11 closed leases over the trailing 180 days, while The French Quarter II (115 Richmond St E, 0.07 km, completed 2004) logged a single closed lease in the same window. The remaining two competitors—The Absolute Lofts (77 Lombard St, 0.05 km, completed 2000) and The Lombard Court (82 Lombard St, 0.08 km, completed 1988)—each recorded zero closed leases in the past 180 days and therefore serve only as architectural and amenity references rather than active pricing benchmarks. The subject building, completed in 1990, is the oldest asset in this immediate pocket, predating the 2004 French Quarter pair by roughly a decade and the 2000 Absolute Lofts by a full decade. The overall comp benchmark across both active and zero-volume peers averages $2,648 per month in realized rent, $4.12 per square foot, and 648 square feet of interior space. St. James Square's all-time realized average of $2,983 per month and 867 square feet places it well above the comp set in both nominal rent and total footprint scale, while its $3.51 per square foot rate sits below the $4.12 comp average and the broader St. Lawrence submarket lease benchmark of $4.22 per square foot. The building's 65-suite inventory and 1990 construction date position it as a larger-footprint, value-oriented alternative in a pocket where the 2004-era French Quarter buildings offer smaller suites at a higher per-square-foot rate.

Comparable Analysis & Questions

How do rental rates at St. James Square compare to neighbouring buildings within St. Lawrence?

St. James Square's all-time average realized lease rent of $2,983 per month sits $335 above the overall comp benchmark of $2,648, with the two active competitors on either side of that figure. The French Quarter I at 120 Lombard St (0.05 km, 11 closed leases) averaged $3,000 per month at $4.35 per square foot across 706 square feet, placing the subject just $17 below that peer. The French Quarter II at 115 Richmond St E (0.07 km, 1 closed lease) averaged $2,295 per month at $3.89 per square foot across 590 square feet, meaning the subject commands $688 more per month than that single-transaction comp. The Absolute Lofts (77 Lombard St, 0.05 km) and The Lombard Court (82 Lombard St, 0.08 km) each recorded zero closed leases over the trailing 180 days and therefore carry no realized rent benchmark against which to compare the subject's pricing.

Does St. James Square offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?

St. James Square leases at $3.51 per square foot across an average 867-square-foot suite, trading at a per-square-foot discount below both active competitors and the $4.22 per square foot St. Lawrence submarket benchmark while delivering substantially more interior space. Against The French Quarter I (11 closed leases, $4.35 per square foot, 706 square feet), the subject trades at a $0.84 per square foot discount yet provides 161 more interior square feet, so the subject's $17-lower monthly rent reflects a larger footprint priced at a lower rate rather than weaker asset valuation. Against The French Quarter II (1 closed lease, $3.89 per square foot, 590 square feet), the subject also trades at a $0.38 per square foot discount but supplies 277 more interior square feet, which drives the subject's $688-higher nominal rent entirely through the expanded suite size rather than a premium per-square-foot rate. In both cases the nominal rent variance is a footprint effect, not a valuation gap.

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

St. James Square offers a five-item amenity package—Concierge & Security, Gym & Fitness Centre, Sauna & Steam Room, Party & Lounge Room, and Meeting Room—that is leaner than its 2004-era French Quarter neighbours but includes one wellness feature they lack. The subject's Sauna & Steam Room is absent from both The French Quarter I (which instead offers a Rooftop Terrace, BBQ Area, and Garden & Courtyard) and The French Quarter II (which adds a Games & Billiards Room, Library & Reading Room, Rooftop Terrace, and BBQ Area). The zero-transaction references show similar gaps: The Absolute Lofts provides a Rooftop Terrace, BBQ Area, and Library & Reading Room the subject does not, while The Lombard Court includes a BBQ Area the subject omits but shares the subject's Sauna & Steam Room. The building's package—ground-floor concierge security, an indoor fitness suite with sauna and steam, a shared party lounge, and a dedicated meeting room—suits cost-conscious professionals and small households who prioritize private wellness access and a functional work-from-home meeting space over rooftop social or outdoor entertaining amenities.
