Living here
Renters, Airbnb and elevators at The Central
Do mostly owners or renters live here?
Renter-heavy building. Of 50 deals here in the last 24 months, 32 were leases and 18 were sales. A high lease share usually means more investor owners, more move-ins and a deeper pool of rental comparables.
Can you Airbnb a unit at The Central?
No active City registrations here right now. In Toronto you can only host in your principal residence, a whole unit for at most 180 nights a year, with a $390 yearly registration and 6% accommodation tax. You cannot buy here to run it as a full-time Airbnb. Check the condo’s rules in the status certificate before you count on it.
How reliable are the elevators?
Ontario requires residential buildings to report any elevator outage lasting 48 hours or more, and this address has none on record. Elevators still need modernizing every 25 to 30 years, so check the reserve fund study for the date.
Sources: TRREB MLS® System lease and sale counts; City of Toronto short-term rental registrations (Open Data, 18 Oct 2026); TSSA Residential Elevator Availability portal.
Before you buy here
Five things the listing will not tell you about The Central
- Reserve fund health. Ask for the latest reserve fund study and its date. A thin fund in an older building usually means fee jumps or a special assessment.
- Special assessments and big repairs. Check the status certificate for planned levies and for balcony, garage, window or elevator work.
- Insurance deductible. Find the corporation’s deductible for water damage. If it is higher than your own policy covers, raise your coverage before closing.
- Fee trend. Compare this year’s budget with last year’s. Rises of 2–5% a year are typical; bigger jumps need an explanation.
- Lawsuits and rules. Look for legal claims against the corporation, and for rules on pets, short-term rentals and leasing.
Send me the status certificate and I will flag anything that matters before your conditional period runs out.

The Central is for buyers who want a front door and a bit of outdoor space downtown, not an elevator and a long corridor. It is a 2002 low-rise of townhome-style suites on Jarvis just north of Carlton, close to Allan Gardens, and it trades at one of the lower prices per square foot in this part of the city. The suites are small and the records are messy, so this is a building where you do your homework. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.
Quick answer
The Central is a low-rise condominium of townhome-style suites at 415 Jarvis Street, just north of Carlton Street near Allan Gardens in downtown east Toronto. condos.ca lists it as built in 2002 by Noblestar Properties, with two floors and 110 suites; other sources describe 104 suites and three floors. condos.ca gives the condominium corporation as TSCC-1440, registered 13 June 2002. Maintenance fees include common elements, building insurance and water. Suites run from about 368 to 870 square feet.
The Central at a glance
Townhome-style living without the townhouse price
The Central is not a tower, and that is the whole point. Suites are laid out as townhome-style homes in a low-rise complex, many on two levels, with the larger ones opening onto a backyard patio or a private rooftop terrace, according to Dash Property Management’s building page. You come and go without waiting for an elevator.
For a downtown buyer, that is a rare format at this price. Freehold Victorian houses in Cabbagetown to the east cost far more, and most condos nearby are high-rises. Here you get a ground-oriented home inside a condominium corporation that handles the exterior and common areas.
The trade-off is size. condos.ca shows suites from about 368 to 870 square feet, and every suite for sale at the time of writing was a two-bedroom of 600 to 899 square feet. Two-level layouts use some of that space for stairs, so walk the suite and check how the bedrooms work before you assume it lives like a house.
Living in a low-rise condominium
A low-rise complex runs differently from a tower. There is no concierge desk taking your parcels, so ask how deliveries are handled and whether there are parcel lockers. Neighbours share walls and sometimes floors and ceilings with you in a stacked layout, so noise between suites matters more than it does between tower floors.
The upside is that your monthly fee is not paying for elevators, a lobby staffed around the clock or a pool. Fewer shared systems means fewer big-ticket items in the reserve fund, although roofs, terraces and the garage below are still significant costs that every owner shares.
Private outdoor space is the real draw. A suite with its own rooftop terrace or patio gives you room for a barbecue and plants, which almost no downtown tower suite at this price can match. When you compare suites here, I would pay more for one with good outdoor space and a quiet, interior-facing exposure.

The records do not agree, so check them
Public sources describe The Central in different ways. condos.ca shows 110 suites on two floors, built in 2002, with TSCC-1440 registered on 13 June 2002. Dash Property Management’s page lists 104 suites, two storeys and a corporation number of 1524, and a REW listing page shows 104 suites, three floors and a 2003 build year.
Some of that is how a stacked townhouse is counted: a two-level suite on top of another reads as two or three floors depending on who is counting. The corporation number matters more. Get the status certificate and confirm the exact corporation and the suite’s registered area before you rely on anything else.
Management is also reported two ways. condos.ca lists Maple Ridge Community Management, while Dash publishes a page for the building aimed at renters. Ask who manages the corporation today.
Jarvis north of Carlton, day to day
The Central sits on Jarvis just above Carlton, with Allan Gardens and its conservatory a short walk away. Walk west and you reach the Church-Wellesley Village and Yonge; walk east and you are into Cabbagetown’s Victorian streets.
Jarvis is a busy arterial, and this stretch around Allan Gardens has a mixed street scene. Visit in the evening and on a weekday morning, and pay attention to which side of the complex a suite faces: a unit looking onto Jarvis is a different experience from one facing the interior.
Radio City and the National Ballet School are a short walk to the west, and the Wellesley hospital-lands buildings are a few blocks north. Transit, schools and walkability are covered in the automatic panel on this page.
Price per square foot, fees and current asking prices
condos.ca puts the building average at about $677 per square foot, the lowest of the downtown east buildings I have reviewed nearby. For comparison, the same source shows Radio City at about $885 and 85 Bloor at about $849. That gap is the main draw.
At the time of writing there were six two-bedroom suites for sale, asking from about $495,000 to $665,000 across suites of roughly 600 to 899 square feet. Six listings in a building of about 110 suites is a lot of supply at once, which gives buyers room to negotiate.
The fee looks lean at about $0.81 per square foot across current listings, but read what it covers. condos.ca lists only common elements, building insurance and water. Heat and hydro are not on the list, so budget for your own utility bills, and ask how each suite is heated and cooled, since that drives the monthly cost more than the fee does.

Amenities at The Central
There is no gym, pool or party room on condos.ca’s list, and that is part of why the fee is modest. What you get instead is the format itself: private patios or rooftop terraces on many suites, and barbecues permitted, which matter more to most buyers here than a shared gym would.
Jatin’s honest take on The Central
Who this building suits
First-time buyers who want a ground-oriented home downtown for under $700 a square foot, and people who would rather have a patio or rooftop terrace than an amenity floor. It suits couples, singles and small households who can live comfortably in under 900 square feet. It does not suit anyone who wants concierge service or a large family home. Investors also look at it, given the low entry price, but with six listings out at once I would expect rents and resale to be competitive.
What I’d want you to check
Confirm the corporation number, the suite’s registered area and the manager on the status certificate, because the sources disagree on all three. At about 24 years old, a low-rise complex like this has its big costs in roofs, roof terraces, waterproofing over the garage and exterior walkways, so read the reserve fund study and minutes closely for those items. Ask how heat and cooling work in your suite and what the last year of utility bills looked like. condos.ca lists pets as permitted, but read the rules for limits before you buy.
The value question
At about $677 a square foot, The Central is one of the cheapest ways to own a townhome-style home in downtown Toronto. The low fee is partly because heat and hydro are on you, so compare total monthly cost, not fees alone. With six listings out at once, I would negotiate firmly and let the recorded sales in the data panel set your number.
