Yorkville Private Estates, 200 Cumberland St: 51 Suites Above Yorkville

Yorkville Private Estates is what you buy when you want a Yorkville address with hotel-style service but a house-sized floor plan. Only 51 suites, most of them large, sit in this Camrost Felcorp corporation at 200 Cumberland Street, and there is rarely more than one on the market at a time. The building is new and well serviced; the real questions are the fee, the parking and how the corporation shares costs with its neighbours. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

A small corporation at the top of the Yorkville Plaza block

Camrost Felcorp has spent more than a decade rebuilding the Yorkville Plaza block between Yorkville Avenue, Avenue Road and Cumberland Street. It converted the old 1970 Four Seasons hotel at 21 Avenue Road into condos, completed in 2014, and then built a much taller tower on Cumberland, which UrbanToronto lists as 40 storeys and 797 units, designed by WZMH Architects and completed in 2022.

Yorkville Private Estates is a separate, much smaller corporation with its own address. Condos.ca counts it as 12 floors and 51 suites, but listings at 200 Cumberland carry suite numbers in the high 20s and 30s, and a 2024 STOREYS feature placed one suite on the 35th floor. My reading is that these 12 floors sit high in a taller building on the block rather than standing as a 12-storey building of their own.

I could not find one source that ties 200 Cumberland to a specific tower in writing, so treat that as my interpretation. Before you buy, read the declaration and any shared facilities agreement to see exactly what TSCC-2844 owns, what it shares, and how the shared costs are split.

Suites sized like houses

The suite range is the reason this building exists. Condos.ca records sizes from about 1,000 to 3,605 sq ft, which puts most suites well above what you find in the main Yorkville towers. With 51 suites over 12 floors, the layouts work out to roughly four per floor, and fewer where suites are larger.

The STOREYS feature describes 10-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows in the suite it covered, and that suite came with three parking spaces and two lockers. I would not assume every suite carries that much parking. In buildings like this, parking and lockers vary from suite to suite, so confirm the exact count on the title and in the status certificate.

At this height, the view is a large part of what you are paying for. North and west outlooks look over the low-rise Annex and Yorkville streets, and the outlook from a given floor depends on what gets built nearby, so ask your agent to check the City’s development applications for the surrounding blocks.

Service that behaves like a hotel

The building is set up for people who travel or who are leaving a staffed house. The STOREYS feature lists 24-hour concierge, valet and porter service, plus a pool and hot tub, steam room, gym, party room with billiards, an outdoor terrace with barbecues, a golf simulator and two guest suites. Condos.ca lists a narrower set: concierge, gym, indoor pool and party room.

The two lists likely differ because some facilities are shared across the larger Camrost Felcorp complex and some belong to this corporation alone. That matters for your fee and your access, so ask the property manager which facilities belong to TSCC-2844 and which are shared.

Staff is the biggest line in a budget like this. A 24-hour concierge, valet and porters cost the same whether the building has 51 suites or 500, and here only 51 owners share that bill. That is why fees run high in dollar terms, and why you should look at the staffing contract and the last few years of budget increases before you commit.

Daily life on Cumberland Street

You are in the middle of Yorkville. Restaurants, galleries, the Bloor Street shops and the boutique streets around Hazelton Avenue are all a short walk away, and the Village of Yorkville Park is on the same street. The data panel on this page shows the transit and walkability numbers.

The trade-off is that this is a busy, built-up block with continuing construction around it. If you want quiet, ask which side of the building a suite faces and what is proposed on the lots it overlooks.

What Yorkville Private Estates costs

Condos.ca puts the building average at about $1,699 per square foot. That is high, even for Yorkville, and it reflects large suites, new construction and the service level. With 51 suites and few sales each year, that average rests on a small number of trades, so I would use it as a guide rather than a price.

When I checked, only one suite was listed for sale and none for rent, so there is no active range I can responsibly quote. Supply is thin here, and that cuts both ways: sellers rarely compete with one another, but buyers have few recent comparables.

Fees here are large in dollar terms, and they cover common elements, building insurance and water, according to condos.ca. Heat, hydro and parking are not on that list, so ask how each suite is metered and whether parking or shared-facility costs are billed separately before you compare this building with others on a per-square-foot basis.

If you plan to lease the suite out, be realistic. The tenant pool for a suite of this size and fee is small, and condos.ca showed no suites for rent when I checked. This is a building for owners who will live in it.

This is a full hotel-style package: someone takes your car, carries your bags and signs for deliveries, and you have a pool without a club membership. Check which of these facilities belong to this corporation and which are shared with the larger complex, because that affects both access and cost.
