40 Sunny Glenway, Flemingdon Park: A 1973 Tower With Every Utility In

Sunny Glenway is one of the cheapest ways I know to own a two- or three-bedroom suite in Toronto with your utilities paid. It is a 1973 Olympia & York condominium in Flemingdon Park with an indoor pool and a security guard, and the fee covers your heat and hydro. The age of the building is the whole story, good and bad.

One corporation, several addresses, some messy data

The database records for this corporation are confusing, so start here. Condos.ca groups YCC-111 under 40 Sunny Glenway and 5 to 55 Sunny Glenway, and current listings appear at 10, 40 and 55 Sunny Glenway. The same record also carries a 1273 Bloor Street West address, which is on the other side of the city and almost certainly a data error.

Condos.ca also labels the corporation a low-rise while recording 22 storeys and 420 suites. My reading is that YCC-111 includes a high-rise tower and lower buildings on the same street, but I could not confirm the exact split. Before you buy, check the status certificate for the legal description, the number of units and which buildings belong to the corporation.

This matters for more than tidiness. If the corporation covers a tower and townhouses, the two share one budget and one reserve fund, and the cost of a tower’s elevators, roof and mechanical systems is spread across everyone.

Built as part of Flemingdon Park

Flemingdon Park was planned in the late 1950s as a large apartment community on about 350 acres south of Don Mills, following a master plan by Macklin Hancock, with housing designed by architect Irving Grossman. William Zeckendorf’s Webb and Knapp started it; when that firm ran out of money, the Reichmann family’s Olympia and York took it over. Construction began in 1959, the first tower opened in 1961, and the community was completed in the early 1970s.

Sunny Glenway comes from the end of that build-out. The original plan was largely rental housing; this block was registered as a condominium in 1973. When it was finished, Flemingdon Park was the most populated census tract in Canada, with housing for more than 20,000 people.

Olympia and York went on to build First Canadian Place in Toronto and Canary Wharf in London. That history does not make a 1973 building any newer, but it does tell you this was built by a serious developer as part of a planned community, not as a one-off.

Larger suites and an all-in fee

The current listings show what this building offers: one-bedrooms around 500 to 600 square feet, two-bedrooms around 800 to 900, and three-bedrooms up to about 1,000. Those are 1970s plans, with separate kitchens, real dining areas and bedrooms that fit a bed and a dresser.

In a building this age, the condition of the suite drives the price more than the plan does. Some suites have been fully renovated; others still have original kitchens, bathrooms and electrical panels. Ask what was renovated, when, and whether the corporation approved the work.

Fees across the five listings run from about $499 to $860 a month, or about $0.85 a square foot. Condos.ca lists heat, hydro, water, building insurance and parking as included. When you compare that with a newer condo, add back the hydro bill, the heating and cooling bill, and often a parking charge. Cable and internet are not on the list.

The catch with an all-inclusive fee is that energy costs flow straight into the budget. Ask for three years of budgets to see how fast the fee has risen, and whether the board has looked at suite metering or energy retrofits.

Flemingdon Park is changing fast

Line 5 Eglinton opened in 2026 with three stops in Flemingdon Park: Don Valley, Aga Khan Park and Museum, and Wynford. The Ontario Line is under construction with two elevated stations in the community, Flemingdon Park and Don Valley, where it will connect with Line 5. Few older condominiums in Toronto will gain this much transit in one decade.

Large redevelopments are also planned at the former Celestica site at Don Mills and Eglinton, with thousands of new homes, offices and shops, and the Ontario Science Centre, a neighbourhood landmark since 1969, closed in June 2024. Expect years of construction nearby and a much busier area when it is done. The data panel on this page lists current transit, schools and parks.

Pricing: Toronto’s cheaper end of condo ownership

Five suites are listed at the time of writing, asking from about $360,000 to about $500,000 near 1,000 square feet. The two-bedrooms sit between about $400,000 and $440,000.

Working from the size bands, that is roughly $450 to $550 a square foot for the two- and three-bedrooms, and more for the one-bedroom, as is usual for smaller suites. That is low for Toronto, and it reflects the building’s age, the work ahead of it and a fee that looks high until you remember what it covers. Use the 12-month sold figures in the data panel above to see where offers actually land.

Five listings and five rentals at once tells you there is turnover here and real choice. That favours buyers, so compare suites closely and look at condition, floor and view before price.

Amenities at 40 Sunny Glenway

An indoor pool, gym and recreation room with a security guard is a full 1970s amenity package, and it is part of why the fee is what it is. Pools are expensive to run and eventually rebuild, so check what the reserve fund study plans for it.
