Concordia, 25 Sunrise Ave: Parking and Hydro in the Fee, Outdoor Pool

Concordia is the Sunrise Avenue tower I suggest to buyers who want the most space for the money and want parking included. It is a 202-suite building from 1979 with an outdoor pool and a fee that covers hydro, heat and a parking space. Line 5 has opened along Eglinton and the Golden Mile is about to be rebuilt, so the location is improving even if the building is not new. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

One of four condominiums on one short street

Sunrise Avenue has four condominium corporations on one short street, 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, the 16-storey tower at 45 Sunrise and Concordia at 25.

For a buyer, that is useful. You can compare a tower with a four-storey building on the same block, and compare corporations with different fee structures and amenity lists, without changing neighbourhoods. The closest match to Concordia is 45 Sunrise, a 216-suite tower finished a year later.

Concordia’s distinguishing point on that street is the fee. On condos.ca it is the only one of the two towers that lists parking as included, which changes the monthly comparison more than most buyers expect.

Suites near 1,000 square feet

Condos.ca’s size data here clusters tightly at about 958 to 970 square feet. I would read that as limited data rather than proof that every suite is the same size, so ask for the floor plan and the measured size for any suite you look at.

What the data and the current listings do show is that this is a building of two- and three-bedroom suites, with two bathrooms in the suites currently offered, according to Greater Toronto Home Pros. Suites of this size in a newer building would cost far more, and a three-bedroom of this size gives a family room to grow that a typical new one- or two-bedroom does not.

As with any 1979 building, some suites will have been fully renovated and others will still have original kitchens and bathrooms. Renovation history moves value here as much as floor or view does. A suite with an updated kitchen, bathrooms and flooring can be worth noticeably more than an original one of the same size, so compare like with like when you look at what has traded.

What the fee covers, and what it does not

Condos.ca lists heat, hydro, water, building insurance, parking and common elements in the fee. Current listings show fees in a range of about $857 to $867 a month. That looks high until you add back what a newer building leaves out: a hydro bill, a heating bill and a parking charge.

Air conditioning is not on condos.ca’s inclusion list. Ask how suites are cooled. Buildings of this era often use through-wall units or owner-installed systems, and in a building where the corporation pays the hydro, cooling choices affect everyone’s fee.

The shared-utility model also means energy price increases land in the corporation’s budget. Read the budget and ask how the board has handled hydro and gas costs in recent years. Ask, too, whether the corporation has looked at energy upgrades such as lighting, boilers or window replacement, since in a bundled building those projects can lower everyone’s fee over time.

Line 5 and the Golden Mile

The neighbourhood is in the middle of a real shift. BlogTO reported that the Eglinton Crosstown, Line 5, would open on 8 February 2026 after years of construction, and the panel beside this review shows the nearest stops.

Further east at Eglinton and Victoria Park, Choice Properties and The Daniels Corporation plan to redevelop the Golden Mile Shopping Centre. UrbanToronto lists the project at about 3,770 homes across 11 buildings, with the first phase including two condominium towers and a rental tower. It is still at the pre-construction stage, so expect years of building work before the benefits arrive.

Sunrise Avenue itself is a quiet residential pocket of low-rise condos, houses and green space, with shopping on Eglinton and Victoria Park close by. Most owners I meet here chose it because it feels settled, and the street is unlikely to change. The combination is unusual: a quiet residential street today, with rapid transit on Eglinton and a large new neighbourhood planned a short way east. Buyers who get in before that change is finished are, in effect, buying the improvement early.

Pricing: the lowest per foot on Sunrise Avenue

Condos.ca puts Concordia’s average at about $438 per square foot, the lowest of the four Sunrise Avenue corporations. The 30 and 40 Sunrise complex averages about $461, Victoria Town about $474 and 45 Sunrise about $481. Newer buildings along Eglinton East, such as the Oasis buildings, average well above $500.

Three suites were listed for sale when I checked, with asking prices from about $400,000 to $600,000. Two suites were listed for rent.

For real trades, use the 12-month data in the panel beside this review, and ask me for a building sold report that includes the other Sunrise Avenue buildings. When you compare, line up the fee inclusions: parking is listed as included here and not at 45 Sunrise, and that alone can move the monthly cost noticeably.

Amenities at Concordia

The outdoor pool is the summer draw, and the gym, sauna and security guard cover the year-round basics. Pools cost money to run and eventually rebuild, so check how the reserve fund study treats it.
