Experienced Developer with a Long-Term Vision

Toronto Standard offers a rare opportunity to invest with an experienced developer focused on long-term value creation. The team develops, builds, and owns professionally managed midrise rental buildings in Toronto, with a track record of delivering durable, thoughtfully designed housing in prime, up-and-coming neighbourhoods. Their projects are built to serve the needs of young professionals, families, and downsizers - offering lasting value for tenants and investors alike.

The Strength of Purpose-Built Rental

As a purpose-built rental (PBR) project, Toronto Standard is well-positioned in today’s market. PBR developments provide stable, long-term rental income and are not subject to the volatility of the condo resale or pre-construction market. Professionally managed and designed with sustainability in mind, these buildings offer durable construction, efficient operations, and strong tenant retention—making them resilient assets in uncertain economic environments.

Market Conditions Favouring Rental Development

The current housing market strongly supports the shift toward rental-focused projects. As pre-construction buyers exit the condo market, demand is shifting toward well-located rental housing—creating a supply gap that PBR is uniquely positioned to fill.

Policy and Financing Tailwinds

Toronto Standard benefits from strong government support and favourable financing. Recent initiatives—such as HST exemptions for new PBR developments, the elimination of minimum parking requirements, development charge reductions and deferrals, and rent control exemptions for post-2018 builds—enhance project viability. In addition, CMHC-insured financing of up to 95% of project costs significantly reduces required equity and improves overall return potential for investors.

Located just steps from Geary Avenue, Toronto Standard is situated in one of the city’s most dynamic and rapidly transforming neighbourhoods. Once an industrial corridor, Geary has evolved into a vibrant cultural hub, home to art studios, craft breweries, distilleries, and a growing network of food producers and culinary destinations. The site is surrounded by established low-rise residential neighbourhoods and offers a walk score of 94, reflecting its exceptional access to local parks, transit, and community amenities. Just a 10-minute bus ride from Dufferin Subway Station, the area is also set to benefit from the forthcoming expansion of Geary Avenue Park—part of Toronto’s Green Line initiative—which will enhance walkability through widened sidewalks, green spaces, and new public amenities. This eclectic, well-connected neighbourhood offers the perfect balance of energy, character, and convenience for renters and long-term investors alike.
