855 Kennedy Rd Condos: 47 Large Suites Near Kennedy Station

855 Kennedy Road is a building most buyers drive past without noticing, and that is part of its appeal. It is a nine-storey, 47-suite condo from 1976 with suites over 1,000 square feet, sitting just north of the busiest transit hub in Scarborough. Small buildings like this reward careful buyers and punish careless ones, so here is what I look at. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

A small building with big suites

With only 47 suites over nine floors, this is one of the smaller condo corporations on the Kennedy Road corridor. Condos.ca lists suites at roughly 1,055 to 1,325 square feet, which is large by any modern standard and points to three-bedroom and family-size plans.

A building this size has a different feel from a 300-suite tower. Small buildings tend to have fewer people in the lobby and the elevator, and it is easier to get to know your neighbours and the board. It is closer to living in a small apartment house than in a high-rise community.

The trade-off is that there are very few suites to choose from. Months can pass without a sale, so if this building suits you, be ready to move when a suite comes up, and be prepared to look at its neighbours as well. I keep a watch on small buildings like this for clients, because when the right suite comes up, you want to know the same day.

Kennedy Station, transformed

The building sits on Kennedy Road a short way north of Eglinton Avenue, close to Kennedy Station. For decades that station was the eastern end of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth. Since 8 February 2026, it has also been the eastern terminus of Line 5 Eglinton, which gives a direct rapid transit trip west across midtown.

Kennedy Station is also the southern end of the new Scarborough Busway, which runs along the old Line 3 corridor to Scarborough Town Centre and was scheduled to open on 30 September 2026. The Line 2 subway extension north to Lawrence and McCowan, Scarborough Centre and Sheppard and McCowan is under construction, with completion expected around 2030.

Put together, few addresses in Scarborough have seen their transit options improve as much in the past year. The data panel on this page shows exactly what is available from the door. The other side of that coin is traffic: this stretch of Kennedy Road is busy, and buses are part of the soundtrack, so listen from the suite before you buy.

What a 47-suite corporation means for you

In a small corporation, every major repair is divided among very few owners. A roof, an elevator modernisation or a garage membrane costs much the same in a 47-suite building as it does in a larger one, but here each owner carries a much bigger share of it.

That makes the reserve fund the most important document in your purchase. I would want to see a recent reserve fund study, the funding plan behind it, and several years of board minutes, so you know what has been done since 1976 and what is still ahead.

Newton-Trelawney Property Management is listed as the manager. Ask how long they have been in place, how often the board meets and whether the corporation has any loans or approved special assessments. In a building this small, one decision can shape your costs for a decade.

Daily life on this stretch of Kennedy

This stretch of Kennedy Road, between Eglinton and Lawrence, is a mix of homes and commercial frontage rather than a high-rise district. Nearby condos such as 895 Kennedy Road are on a similar modest scale, so the building does not sit in the shadow of larger towers.

For daily errands, most owners will rely on the plazas along Kennedy Road and on the shops and services around Kennedy Station. If you drive, parking is in the fee; if you do not, the station is the reason to live here.

The building’s amenities are modest: a party room, permission to barbecue, visitor parking and an underground garage, with parking included in the fee. Most of what you need day to day is either along Kennedy Road or a short transit ride away at Kennedy Station.

Pricing in a building that rarely trades

Condos.ca puts the building’s average at about $398 per square foot. That is low for Toronto, and it reflects the building’s age and the large suite sizes, since larger suites usually trade at a lower price per foot than small ones.

When I checked, there was one suite listed for sale and one for rent. One listing is not a market, so I will not use it to tell you what the building is worth. In a building this size, the right comparison is the last few sales here, adjusted for floor and condition, plus similar older suites in nearby Kennedy Road condos.

The fee covers heat, cable TV, building insurance, parking and water. Hydro is not listed, so budget for it on top. Because the suites are large, compare the fee per square foot with other buildings rather than the monthly total, and check the status certificate for any increase already approved.

Before you make an offer, ask me for my building sold report, which shows what has actually traded here.

Amenities at 855 Kennedy Road Condos

There is no gym or pool here, just a party room, barbecue permission, a garage and visitor parking. For a small building that is sensible: fewer facilities mean fewer shared costs, and the transit at Kennedy Station does more for daily life than an amenity floor would.
