45 Sunrise Ave Condos: Hydro in the Fee, a Pool and Tennis

45 Sunrise Avenue is a building I show to buyers who want the most space for the least money and do not mind a 1980 lobby. It is a 16-storey tower with 216 suites, an outdoor pool, a tennis court and a fee that includes hydro as well as heat. The question is not the price per foot, which is low; it is what the next ten years of building repairs look like. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

One of four condominiums on one short street

Sunrise Avenue is unusual. On one short street there are four condominium corporations, all from the late 1970s and 1980: the low-rise Victoria Town at 10 and 20 Sunrise, the low-rise complex at 30 and 40 Sunrise, Concordia at 25 Sunrise and this tower at 45. Condos.ca lists both low-rise complexes as Cadillac Fairview projects from 1977.

That matters for a buyer because it gives you real comparables. If you like the street, you can choose between a four-storey building and a tower, and between corporations with different fee structures and amenity lists. Concordia is the closest match: a 15-storey, 202-suite tower from 1979.

Number 45 is the tallest and the newest of the group. On condos.ca, it shares the outdoor pool and tennis court combination with the low-rise complex at 30 and 40 Sunrise, while Concordia lists an outdoor pool and a gym but no tennis court. If you want the pool and the court with an elevator ride rather than a walk-up feel, this is the tower that offers both.

Suites around 970 square feet

Condos.ca’s size data for this building clusters tightly at about 969 to 970 square feet. I would treat that as a sign of limited data rather than proof that every suite is the same size, so ask for the floor plan and measurements for any suite you look at.

What it does tell you is that this is not a building of tiny studios. Suites near 1,000 square feet are the product condos.ca has on record here, and the current listing is a two-bedroom, which is why young families and downsizers both end up looking at it. A suite this size in a newer building would cost far more per month.

As with any 1980 building, the original kitchens, bathrooms and flooring will be long gone in some suites and still there in others. Renovation history drives value here as much as floor height or view.

Why hydro in the fee changes the comparison

Condos.ca lists hydro among the fee inclusions, along with heat, building insurance, common elements and water. Hydro in the fee is common on this street, where Concordia and the 30 and 40 Sunrise complex list it too, but it is rare in newer Toronto buildings. It means the monthly fee looks higher than at a building where every suite pays its own electricity bill, but your total housing cost may be lower.

Before you compare this fee with any other building, add back what the other building leaves out. If the comparison building charges separately for hydro and heat, your real gap may be much smaller than the fee numbers suggest.

Two things are not on the condos.ca inclusion list: parking and air conditioning. That is a real difference from Concordia across the street, which lists parking as included. Ask whether the suite has a parking space and what it costs, and ask how suites are cooled. Some buildings of this era have through-wall units or owner-installed systems, and that affects both comfort and hydro use in a building where the corporation pays the hydro bill.

Eglinton East is changing around it

The neighbourhood is in the middle of a big shift. The Eglinton Crosstown, Line 5, opened in early 2026 after about 15 years of construction, according to CTV News, and the panel shows the nearest stops. Eglinton Square shopping centre is a short distance north.

Further east at Eglinton and Victoria Park, Choice Properties and The Daniels Corporation are planning to redevelop the Golden Mile Shopping Centre. UrbanToronto lists the project at about 3,770 homes across 11 buildings, with a new street network, parks and a food store. That is a long-term change, and for an owner here it should mean more services nearby over time, along with years of construction.

Day to day, this is a quiet residential pocket of low-rise condos, houses and green space, with the shopping on Eglinton and Victoria Park close at hand. Most owners I meet here chose it because it feels settled, and that is unlikely to change on Sunrise Avenue itself.

Pricing: one of the lowest per-foot numbers in the area

Condos.ca puts the building average at about $481 per square foot. That is close to its Sunrise Avenue neighbours: Concordia averages about $438, the 30 and 40 Sunrise complex about $461 and Victoria Town about $474. On this street, the tower sits at the top of a low range.

Only one suite was listed for sale when I checked, and one listing is not a range, so I am not going to quote it. One suite was also listed for rent.

For real numbers, use the 12-month trading data in the panel beside this review, and ask me for a building sold report that includes the other Sunrise Avenue buildings. With four corporations on one street, the comparison is the most useful thing I can give you. When you compare, line up the fee inclusions too: parking is included at Concordia and at 30 and 40 Sunrise on condos.ca, but not listed here, and that alone can move the monthly cost by a meaningful amount.
