Living here
Renters, Airbnb and elevators at The Saint
Do mostly owners or renters live here?
Renter-heavy building. Of 377 deals here in the last 24 months, 371 were leases and 6 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 Saint?
Some owners here hold City registrations, but the condo’s own declaration and rules can still forbid short stays. 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.

Before you buy here
Five things the listing will not tell you about The Saint
- 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 Saint is named for the cathedral across the street, and it is one of the newest towers on the Church Street corridor. Minto finished it in 2025 on a tight lot at Church and Lombard, with small suites, very little parking and a design that steps carefully around its historic neighbours. It is a good building for the right buyer, but the fees deserve a hard look. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.
Quick answer
The Saint is a high-rise condominium at 89 Church Street, at Church and Lombard Streets in the Downtown Yonge East and St. Lawrence area of Toronto. It was developed by Minto Communities and designed by Wallman Architects. condos.ca lists 45 storeys and 419 suites; UrbanToronto reports 47 storeys, about 151 metres and 418 suites. The condominium corporation is TSCC-3125, registered 3 July 2025. Suites run from about 380 to 1,014 square feet.
The Saint at a glance
A tall, narrow tower on a historic block
The Saint takes its name from St. James Cathedral, the Anglican cathedral a block south at King and Church. The tower was designed by Wallman Architects to sit among some of the oldest buildings in this part of the city, and that context shows in how it meets the ground.
The podium angles along its south side to follow the street, while the tower above turns square to Church Street. Where the two meet, a terrace widens on top of the podium. Brown fins add colour to the lower floors, and a notch in the balconies runs up the west face to break up what would otherwise be a flat wall. On the east side the tower steps back, which gives the profile some depth from King Street.
For a buyer, the design has practical effects. The west face carries extended white balconies, and the tower turns away from the angled podium, so suites on the lower tower floors and those just above the podium terrace can feel quite different from one another. South-facing suites look toward the cathedral grounds and St. James Park, a low-rise outlook over the park and the historic buildings around it. North and west views are more exposed to future towers on a corridor that is still changing. Walk the floor you are considering and look at what sits across the street.
Sources disagree slightly on the size. condos.ca lists 45 storeys and 419 suites, while UrbanToronto’s construction coverage reports 47 storeys, about 151 metres and 418 suites. The difference is likely how mechanical and amenity levels are counted, but use the condominium plan if the floor number matters to you.
Small suites and almost no parking
This is a building of compact suites. Sizes run from about 380 to 1,014 square feet, and most of what is listed is studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedroom or two-plus-den plans under 900 square feet. A 380-square-foot studio is a pied-à-terre or an investor unit, not a home for two people.
Parking is the other thing to understand. The site was excavated about 20 metres down for six underground levels, but those levels hold only 86 parking spaces, 79 for residents and seven for visitors, according to UrbanToronto. With more than 400 suites, that is fewer than one resident space for every five suites. Most of the underground is bike parking, lockers and building services.
That ratio is a deliberate bet on a car-free downtown, and for most buyers here it is the right bet. But it means a suite with parking is a different, rarer product. If you need a space, buy one on title rather than counting on renting one in the building.

Church Street’s new towers
The Saint is part of a run of new towers on the Church Street corridor between King and Dundas. 88 Queen, two blocks north, rose at the same time to 52 storeys, and Spire at 33 Lombard has stood since 2007. The block around the cathedral still has its old fabric, which is why the street feels more interesting than most new-tower corridors.
Daily life here is walking: St. Lawrence Market to the south, the financial district to the west, and the Eaton Centre within reach to the north-west. Church Street is a bus corridor and gets steady traffic, so suites on the lower floors facing Church will hear it. The automatic panel on this page covers transit, schools and walkability.
Because the building is brand new, expect a period of change. Owners are still moving in, the first board is settling in, and the rental mix will take a year or two to stabilise. That is normal, but it is a period where you should read the documents closely.
Prices and fees at The Saint
condos.ca does not yet publish an average price per square foot for The Saint, since there is little resale history. Asking prices give a guide: across eight current listings, studios and one-bedrooms ask from about $360,000 to $425,000, and two-bedroom and two-plus-den suites ask from about $689,000 to $760,000.
The fee is the number I would focus on. Current listings average about $1.27 per square foot, which is high for a brand-new building, where fees are often set low in the first year. Monthly fees run from about $400 on the smallest suites to about $730 on the larger two-bedrooms. condos.ca does not list what the fee includes, so confirm whether heat, cooling and water are covered.
For comparison, the 2021 tower at Yonge + Rich averages about $840 per square foot and Spire about $995, with fees under $1.20 per square foot. A high fee on small suites often reflects a large amenity floor shared by few square feet. Ask how the first-year budget was built before you commit.
At the time of writing, ten suites were listed for sale and nine for rent. For aggregate sold figures as they build up, see my building sold report.

Amenities at The Saint
The amenity list leans toward wellness, with a spa, sauna and yoga studio alongside the gym, plus a business centre for people who work from home. In a building of small suites, those shared rooms do real work as extra living space, and they are part of why the fee is high.
Jatin’s honest take on The Saint
Who this building suits
Young professionals, first-time buyers and investors who want a new building within walking distance of the financial district and St. Lawrence Market, and who do not need a car. It also suits someone who wants a downtown pied-à-terre in a building with wellness amenities.
What I’d want you to check
This building registered in July 2025, so the most important documents are the first budget, the first reserve fund study and Tarion deficiency records for the common elements. Find out why fees are running around $1.27 per square foot and whether an increase is already planned. Confirm parking and lockers are on title if you need them. condos.ca does not list a property manager or fee inclusions yet, so get both from the status certificate.
The value question
Asking prices are reasonable for a new tower in this location, but the fee eats into the value, especially for investors whose rents are set by the market, not by the fee. For an owner who wants a new, well-located studio or one-bedroom, it can make sense. For an investor, I would run the numbers against Yonge + Rich and Spire first.
