Get My Free Estimate →346 The West Mall is a co-operative, not a condominium. It stands among a row of condominium towers on the same street, and nothing about it from the outside says otherwise.
It is the second confirmed co-op I have found in Etobicoke, after 151 La Rose Avenue. And its own listing page understates the walk to Kipling station by about fifteen minutes.
How I know
Listing records for this address carry the property type “Co-Op Apt” — not a description in the marketing text, but the structured property-type field. Unit 506 shows it plainly, with a last sold price of $440,000, water heating and underground parking. Listings for units 309, 310 and 603 corroborate.
The second piece of evidence is an absence, and it is the more telling one. There is no condominium corporation number for this building, anywhere. No MTCC, no TSCC, no YCC.
That is not a gap in the record. MTCC, TSCC and YCC numbers are issued to condominium corporations registered under Ontario’s Condominium Act. A co-operative is a different legal structure and does not get one. Across the thirty buildings I researched in this part of Etobicoke, every single condominium had a corporation number confirmed by two independent sources. This building has none, and that is exactly what you would expect.
The building’s own listing page states: Kipling Station — subway stop is a 23-minute walk.
I measured it on the OpenStreetMap pedestrian network with the OSRM walking profile, from this building’s footprint to the Kipling station footprint: 2,857 metres, 38.1 minutes. That is about 65% longer than the published figure.
Twenty-three minutes is a walk some people would accept. Thirty-eight is a different decision. If you are weighing this building against somewhere further out on the strength of that number, you are comparing against a figure that does not survive measurement.
For context, Kipling GO shares the Kipling station site, so it is the same walk. The nearest bus stop measured 125 metres, about 1.7 minutes — that is the transit that actually works from this address.
What co-operative ownership changes
This is not a technicality, and it is the reason this building gets its own page rather than a line in a list.
- What you own. Shares in a corporation that owns the whole building, plus a right to occupy your unit. There is no deed to your suite, because your suite is not separately owned.
- Financing. The practical hurdle. A lender securing against shares is in a weaker position than one securing against real property. Many lenders decline co-ops; others require a much larger down payment. No source I read states a financing restriction for this specific building — so I am not asserting one — but it is the first call to make, before the offer.
- Buyer approval. Co-operatives commonly reserve the right to approve who buys in. That can slow a sale and narrow your buyer pool when you come to sell.
- The fee often carries property tax. At 151 La Rose Avenue, the other Etobicoke co-op, the monthly fee covers all utilities and the property taxes, because the corporation is the taxpayer. I could not verify what the fee covers here — but it means a co-op monthly figure is never directly comparable to a condominium one.
- Resale. Smaller financing pool, smaller buyer pool, generally longer selling times.

What is not known, which is most of it
The public record on this building is unusually thin, and that thinness is itself consistent with co-operative tenure — these buildings sit outside the condominium data infrastructure that produces corporation numbers, registration dates and fee tables.
- Year built: not published anywhere I could reach.
- Unit count: not published.
- Storeys: six, per OpenStreetMap building data. No listing source states one.
- Developer and property manager: absent from every source.
- Fee amounts and fee inclusions: not published.
- The co-operative’s own legal name: not found.
The only sourced facts are the property type, the storey count, the existence of listings at units 309, 310, 506 and 603, and one sale at $440,000.
One trap on the same street, worth knowing
A few minutes away at 11 Neilson Drive there is a building called Etobicoke Gardens whose developer is named “Etobicoke Gardens Co-Operative Limited”. Despite that name, the registered corporation there is TSCC 1545, a standard condominium corporation, confirmed by two independent sources.
A co-operative in the developer’s name is not the same as co-operative ownership today. It may well be a former co-op that converted, but no source states that, so I am not publishing it as history. What matters practically: 346 The West Mall is a co-op; 11 Neilson Drive is a condominium. Do not let the names blur them.
Who this building suits
An owner-occupier with financing arranged that accommodates share ownership, who wants a lower entry price than the condominium towers on the same street, and who is comfortable with a board approving their purchase.
For everyone else it is the kind of listing that looks like a bargain and turns into a financing problem two weeks before closing. Confirm the tenure with your lawyer and the financing with your broker before you offer, not after.

Frequently asked questions
Is 346 The West Mall a condominium?
No. Listing records for the building carry the property type “Co-Op Apt”, which means co-operative ownership — you buy shares in a corporation that owns the building, together with a right to occupy your unit, rather than owning the unit itself as real property. It is the second confirmed co-operative I have found in Etobicoke, after 151 La Rose Avenue.
Why is there no condominium corporation number for this building?
Because a co-operative cannot have one. MTCC, TSCC and YCC numbers are issued to condominium corporations registered under Ontario’s Condominium Act. A co-operative is a different legal creature entirely, so the absence of a corporation number here is not missing data — it is consistent with what the building is.
How far is 346 The West Mall from Kipling station really?
2,857 metres, about 38.1 minutes on foot. I measured it on the OpenStreetMap pedestrian network with the OSRM walking profile on 24 August 2026, from the building’s own footprint to the Kipling station footprint. The building’s own listing page states the subway is a 23-minute walk. The real figure is about 65% longer.
Can I get a mortgage on a co-op?
Co-operative ownership generally constrains financing, because a lender is securing against shares rather than against real property. Many lenders decline co-ops outright and others require a substantially larger down payment. I want to be precise: no source I read states a financing restriction for this specific building. Treat it as the first question for your mortgage broker, before you make an offer.
What else is known about the building?
Very little, and that is itself consistent with co-operative tenure — these buildings sit outside the condominium data infrastructure. OpenStreetMap records the building as six storeys. Listings exist for units 309, 310, 506 and 603, and one sold at $440,000. The year built, unit count, developer, property manager, fee amounts and fee inclusions are all unpublished by any source I could reach.
Should a co-op put me off?
Not automatically. For an owner-occupier with financing arranged that accommodates share ownership, a co-op can be a legitimate and often overlooked way into a building at a lower entry price. What it should do is change your process: confirm the tenure with your lawyer, confirm financing with your broker before offering, and read the co-operative’s own rules on occupancy, pets, rentals and buyer approval.
