Toronto 880 Eastern | 48.96m | 12s | TAS | SvN

Good post, but question, what are you using for comparables?

When I look at the Leslieville area and I look at new builds (central air, en suite laundry) I see prices for 2 bdrm hovering mid 3s and up.

3bdrm is 4k+

1 bdrms are definitely a bit lower, but I don't see any new builds renting out at $2,200 a month, those are units in older buildings with laundry rooms and no a/c.

ah i just use realtor.ca data quick glance and given the development and site it's primary 1-bedroom units

again just assumptions!
 
The math likely won't pencil out even if the land was free

Larchmount by Hullmark is around $4.25/SF rents, without factoring in incentives. W/ incentive of 1 free month, you're in the $3.9/SF range.

For an average suite size of 650 SF x $4.25/SF rents, you land around $2,750/Month. I also reckon future owner will want to secure CMHC ACLP, which will put further downward pressure on rents

PE is on the money here - this will prob sell in the $8 to $12m range
 
Art's cap is a little high - could probably compress to 4.5 or even 4.25, and construction costs are also about $100/ft higher than they are today. Conversely, aside from the rent compression 1CO notes above, there's no accounting for ~32% operational expenses which will further erode profitability. Fundamentally this isn't a $3K+/door site so even with land at next to nothing, it's not really going to work.

Haha! What an absolute honour to be quoted by @ProjectEnd!
 
Even $60 pbsf here is pretty aggressive in this market; there is plenty of zoned land at Yonge & Eg (which the market certainly views as premium compared to this location) you can pick up at $60.

TAS (or, I should say, their creditors...) are going to have to take a big bath here; it's just a question of how long they're willing and able to wait it out for before they bring down their ask to something that looks like "market."
 
TAS owns the houses next door, they were purchased along with the site but not incorporated into the development.

I think this will and between $40 - $60 psf, but the debt on the land is almost double that...
