The Building

225 Davenport Road.

A low-rise, L-shaped building at Davenport and Avenue Road, built in 1988.

Footprint

A rare L-shape, and the views that come with it.

Most buildings in the neighbourhood face one direction. Since Suite 514 is at the end of the hall, it looks north over the treetops of Ramsden Park and south toward the rooflines of Yorkville. A dual exposure that is genuinely uncommon at this scale and in this location.

A note on the building

The street level is not the whole story.

The retail at street level is privately owned and entirely separate from the residences above. Past it: a newly renovated lobby, a 24-hour concierge, and a rooftop terrace that replaces what most buildings offer as a private balcony — and then some.

Windows and Outdoor Connection

More living space. More light. More air.

The apartment was originally built with two enclosed solariums. Rather than keeping them as separate seasonal spaces, they were removed and fully integrated into the living room and bedroom areas, reclaiming valuable square footage for year-round use. The large operable exterior windows were retained and replaced in 2025. They open nearly half the width of the wall, providing exceptional natural ventilation, fresh air, mature tree canopy views, and a strong connection to the outdoors. Residents also enjoy access to a private rooftop terrace with panoramic city views, dining areas, BBQs, and lounge spaces.

Maintenance Fees in Context

The headline number is only half the equation.

Buildings like 225 Davenport are already priced lower per square foot precisely because of their higher fees. The market has accounted for it. Buyers who filter by maintenance fees without considering purchase price are, in effect, evaluating only half the equation.

Notably, the fees at 225 Davenport are consistent with comparable boutique low-rise buildings of the same vintage in Toronto. This is what it costs to operate a well-run smaller building with mature systems and all-inclusive fees.

At Apartment 514, the monthly fee of $2,737.76 covers heat, hydro, water, common elements, building insurance, and parking.
