Minto Midtown is Minto’s two-tower condominium on Yonge Street just south of Eglinton: Quantum at 2181 Yonge, 37 storeys, completed in 2007, and Quantum 2 at 2191 Yonge, 52 storeys, completed in 2008, according to Wikipedia. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill did the initial design and Zeidler Partnership Architects completed it. The project earned LEED Gold, and Quantum 2 was CCI Toronto’s Condo of the Year in 2011. TRREB does not publish building prices. District C10 condo apartments sold at a median of $690,000 in August 2026 on only 27 sales, at 96 percent of list after 38 days. Each tower needs its own comparables.

Where it sits and what is nearby
Both towers face Yonge Street a short walk south of Eglinton Avenue, so Eglinton station is minutes away. That station serves Line 1 and, since 8 February 2026, Line 5 Eglinton, which runs 19 kilometres from Mount Dennis to Kennedy. Wikipedia’s station article lists several entrances, including one on Yonge Street north of Berwick Avenue as well as the corner entrances.
The Yonge Eglinton Centre and the shops and restaurants of the Yonge strip are on the doorstep. For green space and schools, see the top 5 parks at Yonge and Eglinton and the top 5 schools at Yonge and Eglinton. The newer tower on the northeast corner is E Condos at 8 Eglinton Avenue East, the most obvious newer-building comparison. For the rental side, see the top 5 condos to rent at Yonge and Eglinton.
What TRREB’s August 2026 numbers say for C10 (not this building)
| Condo apartments, August 2026 | TRREB C10 (Mount Pleasant, Yonge–Eglinton, Davisville) | City of Toronto |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | 27 | 885 |
| Median price | $690,000 | $550,000 |
| Average price | $676,178 | $651,648 |
| Active listings | 169 | 4,938 |
| Months of inventory (calculated) | 6.3 | 5.6 |
| Sale to list price | 96% | 96% |
| Avg. days on market | 38 | 39 |
Source: TRREB Market Watch, August 2026, condominium apartments, district and city level. Months of inventory is my arithmetic (active listings divided by sales). C10 recorded only 27 condo sales in the month, so one or two large sales can move its median and average noticeably. This is not data for this building. TRREB does not publish building-level figures, and I do not quote a price for any suite here.
Minto Midtown is now close to 20 years old, and its suites are often larger than those in the towers built around it since. That can push its prices above or below the C10 median depending on the suite. Use the district figure for the market’s direction, then price from sales inside each tower.
Two towers, a long approval fight and a green label
Wikipedia records that the project first went well past the height and zoning limits of the day and drew strong neighbourhood opposition. Minto appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, and the settlement cut several storeys and provided $1.2 million for social housing and $200,000 for transit connections. The result is the two towers that stand today, 37 and 52 storeys.
The LEED Gold certification was a selling point when the towers were new, and the 2011 CCI Toronto Condo of the Year award for Quantum 2 reflects how the corporation was run at the time. Neither replaces current evidence. What a buyer needs now is the latest reserve fund study, recent budgets and the record of major work, because a building approaching 20 years is entering the age when larger components start to come due.
The two towers also differ for pricing. A 45th-floor suite in Quantum 2 has views the 37-storey tower cannot match, and suites in the shorter tower may look into the taller one. I separate comparables by tower first.
What moves a suite’s value in a building like this
- Tower and floor. The taller north tower’s upper floors carry the view premium; see how floor, view and parking change a condo’s value.
- Exposure. Read choosing a condo exposure; at Yonge and Eglinton, new towers can block a view that once looked open.
- Condition. Original 2007–2008 finishes versus an updated kitchen and baths can be a wide gap; see should I renovate my condo before selling.
- Parking and locker. Larger suites in older towers often come with parking, and buyers expect it.
- Fees. Lenders count half the condo fee in debt-service ratios, per CMHC.
- Rent rules. Ontario’s rent increase guideline applies to units first occupied for residential purposes on or before 15 November 2018; units first occupied after that date are exempt. Suites first occupied in 2007 or 2008 are on the guideline side, which affects an investor’s numbers.
What to check in the status certificate and reserve fund study
The status certificate is the corporation’s own snapshot of its finances and legal position. Under section 76 of the Condominium Act, the corporation must deliver it within 10 days of a request and can charge up to $100, according to the Condominium Authority of Ontario. On a resale, the buyer’s lawyer should review it before the offer goes firm. On a sale, I prefer to order it before we list, so there are no surprises mid-deal.
Read these parts first:
- Reserve fund balance and the latest reserve fund study. The CAO notes corporations must have their reserve fund studied at least every three years. Compare the balance with what the study says should be there, and read the planned contributions for the next few years.
- Common expense increases. The certificate must disclose any known increase. A rising fee is not bad on its own; it matters when it is sharp and unexplained.
- Special assessments. Any assessment levied or planned is disclosed. If one is outstanding at closing, who pays it is a negotiation point; see does a special assessment lower my condo value.
- Legal actions and insurance. Litigation involving the corporation and the insurance deductible both belong on your checklist.
- Rules on leasing and short stays. Read the declaration and rules before you promise a tenant, or yourself, anything.
Specific to Minto Midtown: confirm whether the two towers are separate corporations, and if so, how shared facilities and the garage are costed between them. For a building near 20 years old, read the reserve fund study’s schedule for windows, mechanical systems, elevators and garage repairs, and ask what has already been done.
Selling or buying there: how to price a suite
Price a suite in Minto Midtown from its own stack first: the most recent sales of the same layout and exposure, a few floors up or down, adjusted for parking, locker, condition and date. TRREB’s district median is a check on the market’s mood, not a price.
Sometimes your layout simply has not sold in months. For that case I follow the method in how to price a condo when nothing in your building has sold: widen to the nearest comparable buildings, match age and size, and adjust. I also look hard at active listings, because a buyer compares your suite with what is for sale today, not with last year’s sale.
Newer towers nearby, including E Condos, compete for the same buyers. An older suite can win on size and price per square foot; it loses if it is priced like a new one without the finishes to match. Show buyers what they get for the money, and price against the active listings they will tour the same weekend.

Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

Frequently asked questions
What is the address of Minto Midtown Quantum?
Minto Midtown has two towers on Yonge Street just south of Eglinton Avenue: Quantum, the south tower, at 2181 Yonge Street, and Quantum 2, the north tower, at 2191 Yonge Street. Both are a short walk from Eglinton station on Line 1 and Line 5.
How many floors are the Quantum towers?
Wikipedia lists Quantum at 37 storeys, completed in 2007, and Quantum 2 at 52 storeys, completed in 2008. Some listing portals show 38 and 53, likely counting differently. The declaration and the building’s own documents settle the floor count if it matters for a specific suite.
Who designed Minto Midtown?
Wikipedia credits Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with the initial design and Zeidler Partnership Architects with the final design and completion, for developer Minto. The project earned LEED Gold certification, and Quantum 2 was named Condo of the Year by CCI Toronto in 2011.
Is Minto Midtown close to the Eglinton Crosstown?
Yes. The towers are a short walk south of Eglinton station, where Line 5 Eglinton opened on 8 February 2026 alongside the existing Line 1 platforms. Wikipedia lists a station entrance on Yonge Street north of Berwick Avenue as well as the corner entrances.
What is a condo at Minto Midtown worth in 2026?
TRREB does not publish building-level prices, and I do not quote one. District C10 recorded a median condo apartment price of $690,000 in August 2026, from only 27 sales. A suite here depends on tower, floor, size, view, parking and condition; recent sales in the same tower are the evidence.
