Living here
Renters, Airbnb and elevators at Thunderbird at One Valhalla
Do mostly owners or renters live here?
Renter-heavy building. Of 81 deals here in the last 24 months, 50 were leases and 31 were sales. A high lease share usually means more investor owners, more move-ins and a deeper pool of rental comparables.
Can you Airbnb a unit at Thunderbird at One Valhalla?
No active City registrations here right now. In Toronto you can only host in your principal residence, a whole unit for at most 180 nights a year, with a $390 yearly registration and 6% accommodation tax. You cannot buy here to run it as a full-time Airbnb. Check the condo’s rules in the status certificate before you count on it.
How reliable are the elevators?
Ontario requires residential buildings to report any elevator outage lasting 48 hours or more, and this address has none on record. Elevators still need modernizing every 25 to 30 years, so check the reserve fund study for the date.

Before you buy here
Five things the listing will not tell you about Thunderbird at One Valhalla
- Reserve fund health. Ask for the latest reserve fund study and its date. A thin fund in an older building usually means fee jumps or a special assessment.
- Special assessments and big repairs. Check the status certificate for planned levies and for balcony, garage, window or elevator work.
- Insurance deductible. Find the corporation’s deductible for water damage. If it is higher than your own policy covers, raise your coverage before closing.
- Fee trend. Compare this year’s budget with last year’s. Rises of 2–5% a year are typical; bigger jumps need an explanation.
- Lawsuits and rules. Look for legal claims against the corporation, and for rules on pets, short-term rentals and leasing.
Send me the status certificate and I will flag anything that matters before your conditional period runs out.

Thunderbird at One Valhalla, 5 Valhalla Inn Road, is a 35-storey concrete tower of roughly 335 suites, completed in 2014 by Edilcan Development Corporation and designed by Page + Steele / IBI Group Architects.
This is the best-documented condominium in west Etobicoke — its storey count, developer, architect and structure are confirmed by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, not just by listing sites. It stands on the site of the Valhalla Inn, a 1963 motor inn demolished for the project. And it is honestly not a subway-walkable building, whatever a listing tells you.
What is genuinely confirmed
Very little in Etobicoke real estate gets independently verified. This building does.
| Storeys | 35 above ground, 2 below — CTBUH, corroborated by UrbanToronto and listing data |
| Height | 111.3 m / 365 ft per CTBUH. An UrbanToronto forum thread title gives 116.12 m — a genuine conflict on height, though not on storeys |
| Completed | 2014; construction began 2012 |
| Structure | All concrete |
| Developer | Edilcan Development Corporation |
| Architect | Page + Steele / IBI Group Architects |
| Suites | About 335. CTBUH and one database say 335; UrbanToronto’s database implies 336 |
The Valhalla Inn
The tower replaced the Valhalla Inn, built in 1963 and described by UrbanToronto as one of Toronto’s first motor inns. It was demolished to make way for the Edilcan development, reported in February 2011.
That is a real, citable piece of local history, and it is the sort of thing that gets garbled in listings. To be precise about what I can and cannot confirm: the inn’s own architect and the exact demolition date, I could not verify. That it was built in 1963, that it was among the city’s early motor inns, and that it came down for this project — those are sourced.
The February 2011 coverage describes the project as three towers of 19, 25 and 29 storeys plus 68 townhomes. Those are early proposal figures, and they were superseded.
As built, the towers are 35, 29 and 22 storeys, plus the 68 townhomes. If you see 19/25/29 quoted anywhere as the built form of One Valhalla, it is a stale proposal being repeated as fact.
Amenities — and whose they are
One database lists a rooftop deck, concierge, party room, visitor parking, elevator, guest suites and a jacuzzi for 5 Valhalla Inn Road, and describes the podium amenity offering in glowing marketing terms that I am not going to repeat as though I had verified it.
UrbanToronto’s entry for the overall community lists an indoor pool, fitness facilities, a theatre and a European-style courtyard on a one-acre landscaped podium. Those are community-wide One Valhalla amenities, and not necessarily exclusive to this tower. Another source lists no building-specific amenities for 5 Valhalla Inn Road at all.
So the useful question when you tour is not “does the building have a pool” but “which corporation owns the pool, and what does my corporation pay toward it.” The shared facilities agreement, disclosed with the status certificate, answers that.
Transit, honestly
One source says Kipling station is about a five-minute drive, and names a surface transit route on The Mall at Valhalla Inn Road. UrbanToronto notes proximity to Kipling station, Highway 427, Sherway Gardens and Cloverdale Mall.
This is not a walk-to-the-subway building, in the way that Viking Lane or Michael Power Place genuinely are. It is a drive-or-bus-to-Kipling building with excellent highway access. That is a perfectly good trade for a lot of buyers — the highway access is genuinely first class — but it should be a choice you make with clear eyes, not a surprise you discover in February.
What is being built next door
Edilcan is developing Valhalla Town Square, described on the developer’s own site as a 6.6-acre mixed-use residential community. That much is confirmed from the developer.
I could not retrieve tower count, storeys, unit count or current status — the relevant UrbanToronto page returned an error. So I will tell you the master-planned community exists and is adjacent, and I am not going to characterise its size or timing. If your view matters to you, check the City’s development application map before you buy.
What I could not verify
- The corporation number beyond a reported TSCC 2363, from one database.
- The current property manager (FirstService Residential is named, single source).
- The registration date.
- Whether the amenity list is tower-specific or community-shared.
- The height discrepancy between CTBUH’s 111.3 m and UrbanToronto’s 116.12 m.
The takeaway
Thunderbird is a well-built, well-documented 35-storey concrete tower from a real architect on a site with genuine history. Its strengths are the build quality, the podium amenities and outstanding highway access. Its honest weakness is transit: it is a bus or a drive to Kipling, not a walk. Before you buy, get clear on which amenities belong to your corporation and which are shared, and check what Valhalla Town Square is going to put next to your window.

Frequently asked questions
How tall is Thunderbird at One Valhalla?
35 storeys above ground plus two below, all concrete, completed 2014. CTBUH gives the height as 111.3 m; an UrbanToronto thread title says 116.12 m. The storey count is not in dispute; the height figure is.
What was on the site before One Valhalla?
The Valhalla Inn, built in 1963 and described as one of Toronto’s first motor inns. It was demolished for the Edilcan development, reported in February 2011. The inn’s architect and the exact demolition date could not be verified.
Is One Valhalla walking distance to the subway?
No. Sources describe Kipling station as roughly a five-minute drive, with bus service on The Mall at Valhalla Inn Road. Highway 427 and Gardiner access are excellent. Treat this as a drive-or-bus building, not a walk-to-subway one.
How many towers are at One Valhalla and how tall are they?
Three towers of 35, 29 and 22 storeys as built, plus 68 townhomes. Ignore the 19, 25 and 29 figures that appear in 2011 coverage — those are superseded proposal numbers, not the built form.
Does 5 Valhalla Inn Road have a pool?
An indoor pool, fitness facilities and a theatre are listed as One Valhalla community amenities on a one-acre landscaped podium — not necessarily exclusive to this tower. Ask which corporation owns them and what your corporation contributes under the shared facilities agreement.
What is being built next to One Valhalla?
Edilcan is developing Valhalla Town Square, described on the developer’s own website as a 6.6-acre mixed-use residential community. I could not verify its tower count, storeys, unit count or current status, so check the City of Toronto development application map yourself.
