Evolution Condos, 5101 Dundas Street West: what I can verify and what I cannot

Last updated 7 September 2026. Written by Jatin Dua, Broker of Record at RE/MAX Quantum Realty, 799 The Queensway, Etobicoke. Sourced and dated. Where a figure could not be verified, I say so rather than filling the gap.

What the building actually is

5101 Dundas Street West sits on the north side of Dundas, in the stretch between Islington and Kipling where Etobicoke’s mid-rise stock is concentrated. It is not a tower and it was never marketed as one. Arsenault Architect Inc., the firm that designed it, publishes the project on its own website and gives the total area as roughly 128,000 square feet with a construction budget of about $20.18 million, including ground-floor retail space.

That architect page is the most useful document about this building on the internet, because it is a primary source. The developer named there is Beaverbrook Homes, and that matches what the listing databases say — one of the few facts about this building with two genuinely independent sources behind it.

Suite count and sizes

The suite count is reported as 145. Be careful with that number: the architect’s page also mentions parking for 145 vehicles, and it is entirely possible that somewhere along the line a parking figure got copied into a unit field. They may both genuinely be 145. I cannot prove it either way.

Published suite ranges land at roughly 560–570 square feet at the small end and about 1,460 at the large end. Those ranges come from historical listing data, not from a builder’s floor plan book. They tell you what has actually traded, which is arguably more useful, but they are not a specification.

Amenities, as sources actually list them

The architect’s page describes a lounge, party room, exercise room, games room, and an outdoor terrace on the second floor, plus ground-floor retail. The listing databases add concierge, guest suites, a meeting or function room, visitor parking, a parking garage and an intercom system, and one adds bike storage.

For a 145-suite building that is a full amenity package, and it is worth understanding the trade-off honestly: amenities in a small building are paid for by a small number of owners. A gym and a party room in a 600-unit tower cost each owner very little. The same rooms in a 145-unit building cost each owner meaningfully more. That is not a reason to avoid the building. It is a reason to read the reserve fund study rather than skim it.

The corporation number and the property manager

The condominium corporation is reported as TSCC 2353, and the property manager as Maple Ridge Community Management. Both of those come from a single listings database.

I want to be blunt about what that means. Property management contracts change, sometimes every few years. A corporation number is a matter of public record and can be confirmed through the Condominium Authority of Ontario’s registry search in about a minute. Neither should be taken from a real estate blog — including this one. Use them as a starting point and confirm them on the status certificate.

What I could not verify

• Any green or LEED certification. I found none. If a listing tells you the building is certified, ask which certification and who issued it.
• The registration date. “Built 2014” appears everywhere; whether that is occupancy or registration, no source says.
• Walking distance to Islington or Kipling station. No source I trust gives one for this address. I am not going to invent a number, and you should be suspicious of listings that publish one — I have seen the same database print “1 minute to Islington station” for two different buildings that are nowhere near each other.

What I would check before buying here

1. The reserve fund study, in full. A 2014 building is now in the window where the first significant common-element work starts to appear on the horizon. In a 145-unit corporation, each owner’s share of that work is larger than it would be in a tower.
2. What the ground-floor retail is, and what the corporation’s relationship to it is. Commercial units in a residential corporation can be a benefit or a recurring headache depending on the tenant and how the declaration splits costs.
3. The declaration’s storey and unit schedule, which will end the 13-versus-14 question for good.
4. The status certificate’s litigation and special assessment disclosure. I found no news of either for this building, but “I found nothing published” is not the same as “there is nothing.” Only the certificate tells you that.
