Chaz Yorkville is a 47-storey, 526-unit condominium at 45 Charles Street East, south of Bloor between Yonge and Church. UrbanToronto reports it was built by 45 Charles Ltd. with Edenshaw Homes as construction manager, designed by Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects, and opened in 2015. It has a five-storey limestone-clad podium and a two-storey glass-box amenity space more than 30 floors up. Despite the name, the City places it in Church-Wellesley and TRREB reports it in C08, where condo apartments sold at a median of $565,000 in August 2026, at 97 percent of list after 37 days. TRREB publishes no building prices; a suite is priced from its own layout’s recent sales.

Where it sits and what is nearby
Chaz stands immediately east of Casa at 33 Charles Street East, according to UrbanToronto, and across from Casa II at 42 Charles Street East. Bloor-Yonge station, where TTC Lines 1 and 2 meet, and One Bloor are a few minutes’ walk to the west.
The Yorkville name is marketing. When I checked 45 Charles Street East against the City of Toronto’s neighbourhood boundaries, it fell in Church-Wellesley, within the old Church-Yonge Corridor, and TRREB reports it in C08, not C02. That matters when a seller or an online estimate reaches for Yorkville comparables north of Bloor: those are a different district with a very different price profile. The Church–Yonge condo buildings guide covers the six buildings in this series.
What TRREB’s August 2026 numbers say for C08 (not this building)
| Condo apartments, August 2026 | TRREB C08 | City of Toronto |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | 128 | 885 |
| Median price | $565,000 | $550,000 |
| Average price | $673,397 | $651,648 |
| Active listings | 756 | 4,938 |
| Months of inventory (calculated) | 5.9 | 5.6 |
| Sale to list price | 97% | 96% |
| Avg. days on market | 37 | 39 |
Source: TRREB Market Watch, August 2026, condominium apartments, district and city level. Months of inventory is my arithmetic (active listings divided by sales). This is not data for this building. TRREB does not publish building-level figures, and I do not quote a price for any suite here.
For context on the Yorkville label: in August 2026 TRREB’s C02 district, which includes Yorkville and the Annex, recorded a median of $740,000 on just 29 sales. Pricing a Chaz suite from C02 would be the wrong district and a small sample. Use Chaz’s own sales and the neighbouring Charles Street towers.
The amenity program and what it costs
UrbanToronto’s 2015 tour described a Scandinavian-style lobby, a two-storey Chaz Club set in a glass “jewel box” roughly two thirds of the way up the tower with a view over the Financial District toward the lake, and a pet spa. Part of the podium is marketed as the Limestone Residences; the model suite UrbanToronto toured there was a large three-bedroom.
Amenities like these help sell suites, especially to buyers who want a social space without leaving the building. They also have to be staffed, cleaned, insured and eventually refurbished, which is what the budget and reserve fund pay for. Read do high maintenance fees lower my condo value before you decide whether a building’s fee is high for what it offers.
What moves a suite’s value in a building like this
- Podium suite versus tower suite. A large podium suite and a compact tower suite appeal to different buyers, so each needs its own comparables.
- Floor and view. Upper floors that clear Casa and the other towers carry the premium; low floors facing a neighbour do not.
- Layout. Usable two-bedroom layouts are the most liquid product downtown.
- Parking and locker. An owned space widens the pool, even at the subway.
- Fees. Lenders count half the condo fee in the buyer’s debt-service ratios, per CMHC.
What to check in the status certificate and reserve fund study
The status certificate is the corporation’s own snapshot of its finances and legal position. Under section 76 of the Condominium Act, the corporation must deliver it within 10 days of a request and can charge up to $100, according to the Condominium Authority of Ontario. On a resale, the buyer’s lawyer should review it before the offer goes firm. On a sale, I prefer to order it before we list, so there are no surprises mid-deal.
Read these parts first:
- Reserve fund balance and the latest reserve fund study. The CAO notes corporations must have their reserve fund studied at least every three years. Compare the balance with what the study says should be there, and read the planned contributions for the next few years.
- Common expense increases. The certificate must disclose any known increase. A rising fee is not bad on its own; it matters when it is sharp and unexplained.
- Special assessments. Any assessment levied or planned is disclosed. If one is outstanding at closing, who pays it is a negotiation point; see does a special assessment lower my condo value.
- Legal actions and insurance. Litigation involving the corporation and the insurance deductible both belong on your checklist.
- Rules on leasing and short stays. Downtown, many buyers are investors, so read the declaration and rules before you promise a tenant anything.
Specific to Chaz: by 2026 the building is more than ten years old, and the high-level glass-box amenity and the limestone podium are distinctive components. Ask how the reserve fund study schedules their upkeep, and whether any refurbishment of the amenity floors is planned.
Selling or buying there: how to price a suite
Price a suite in Chaz Yorkville from its own stack first: the most recent sales of the same layout and exposure, a few floors up or down, adjusted for parking, locker, condition and date. TRREB’s district median is a check on the market’s mood, not a price.
Two things make this harder downtown. Large towers have many similar suites for sale at once, so your real competition is the active listings with your layout, often in your own building. And sometimes your layout simply has not sold in months. For that case I follow the method in how to price a condo when nothing in your building has sold: widen to the nearest comparable towers, match age and size, and adjust.
If an online estimate for your Chaz suite looks high, check whether it pulled Yorkville sales from north of Bloor. See is the online estimate for my condo accurate.

Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

Two units, same floor plan,

That happens constantly in condos — one has the parking, the right exposure, or a board that keeps the reserve fund healthy. A model can’t see your status certificate. I can.
Frequently asked questions
How many floors and units does Chaz Yorkville have?
UrbanToronto reported in 2015 that Chaz Yorkville is a 47-storey tower with 526 condominium units, and its 2014 construction report gives the same unit count. It stands at 45 Charles Street East and opened in 2015, designed by Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects.
Who built Chaz Yorkville?
UrbanToronto reports that the developer was 45 Charles Ltd., with Edenshaw Homes Ltd. as construction manager, and that Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects designed it, with interiors by Cecconi Simone. For anything that affects a purchase, such as warranty or deficiency history, rely on the corporation’s documents rather than marketing.
Is Chaz Yorkville in Yorkville?
Not according to the City’s map. 45 Charles Street East is south of Bloor, and the City of Toronto’s current boundaries place it in Church-Wellesley, part of the old Church-Yonge Corridor. TRREB reports it in district C08. Yorkville proper, north of Bloor, falls in TRREB’s C02 district.
What is the Chaz Club?
UrbanToronto’s 2015 tour described the Chaz Club as a two-storey amenity space inside a glass box more than 30 floors up, with a view over the Financial District toward the lake. What it offers today, and how it is booked or maintained, should be confirmed on a tour and in the corporation’s rules.
What is a Chaz Yorkville condo worth in 2026?
TRREB does not publish building prices, and I do not quote one. District C08 recorded a median of $565,000 for condo apartments in August 2026. A Chaz suite depends on floor, view, size, parking and condition, and the best evidence is recent sales of your layout in Chaz and the Charles Street towers beside it.
