While TC4 rents $50 lower than the subject at $2,184 per month, TC4 suites are significantly smaller, averaging 565 square feet compared to the subject's 647 square feet.
Does Transit City East offer a competitive price-per-square-foot ($/SF) against local comparables?
The subject offers a superior value-to-space ratio, providing 647 square feet at $3.45 per square foot. This is $0.37 to $0.48 per square foot cheaper than every active competitor with reported lease data. Renters at 950 Portage Pkwy gain between 13 and 82 additional square feet of living space compared to The Met, TC5, and TC4, while paying a lower rate for that space.
How do building age, amenities, and developer reputation impact rent spreads?
Transit City East features a focused wellness and recreation package including a Golf Simulator, Yoga Studio, Gym & Fitness Centre, and Games & Billiards Room. The Golf Simulator is a key standout that matches TC5 and TC4 but is absent at The Met and The Millway. While competitors like TC4 offer dual pools and a Tesla car-share, and The Met provides a convenience store, the subject's amenity set is highly efficient for renters prioritizing fitness and social gaming.

Data Methodology & Analytical Standards
How FastScreen aggregates public listing records, tracks active inventory, and calculates rental market metrics for Transit City East.
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.
