277 Davenport: Nine Hariri Pontarini Suites Where Yorkville Meets the Annex

277 Davenport is not a building you buy for amenities. It is nine very large suites behind a glass-and-mullion facade by Hariri Pontarini Architects, where Yorkville runs into the Annex, and it is about as close as midtown gets to a private house with a doorman. The thing to understand before you buy is what is being built beside it. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

Hariri Pontarini, at a residential scale

Burnac hired Siamak Hariri of the Toronto firm Hariri Pontarini Architects to design 277 Davenport. UrbanToronto described the design as a grid of floor-to-ceiling glass broken up by black mullions, softened with wood, and compared its feel to Hariri’s McKinsey building on Charles Street.

Interiors were by Boychuk + Fuller, and the landscape design by Ronald Holbrook and Associates. That team is unusual for a nine-suite building and shows in the common spaces, which were planned with soft lighting, textured walls and subdued tones rather than a showy lobby.

How many storeys? Sources disagree

Published descriptions of the building do not agree on its height. Early project coverage on UrbanToronto and blogTO described six storeys; a 2026 RENX report on the project next door called 277 Davenport a seven-storey building; condos.ca lists four floors. Penthouse and two-level suites, and whether the rooftop is counted, probably explain the gap.

The suite count is clearer. The plan was 10 suites, or nine if the penthouse buyer combined two floors, and the registered building has nine. Pre-construction materials described suites from about 1,800 sq ft up to roughly 3,767 sq ft, including a two-level townhouse with a 19-foot living room and a top-floor penthouse; the sizes now listed run from about 1,372 to 3,080 sq ft.

Boutique projects often change between launch and completion as buyers combine or split suites, and this one took several years longer than the 2015 completion target blogTO reported in 2013. That is why I rely on the registered corporation and the status certificate, not the original brochure, for the building’s final shape.

Treat marketing-era features such as private pools and rooftop kitchens as things to verify in the specific suite, not as givens.

What you actually get in a suite

At launch, standard ceilings were 10 feet, with plank hardwood, floor-to-ceiling glass and large balconies, some of them over 1,000 sq ft. With roughly two suites per floor, most suites have more than one exposure and real outdoor space.

Each suite was sold with one parking space, with a second available to buy. The only listed shared service is a concierge. There is no gym, pool or party room for the building, which keeps the common areas small and the owner group tight.

Suites of this size usually come with a range of finishes, because several buyers customized their plans during construction, which blogTO noted the developer encouraged. Two suites of similar size here can feel very different, so compare kitchens, millwork and terrace finishes as carefully as square footage. Ask which items were upgrades and which were standard.

The Bedford is going up next door

By Burnac, the same developer, has started construction on The Bedford at 287 Davenport Road, a 13-storey building designed by Audax, directly beside 277. RENX reported in March 2026 that occupancy is expected in late 2028.

For owners here, that means roughly two more years of construction next door, and then a taller neighbour that will change views and light on the facing side. A little further west, a 22-storey Designers Walk condominium has also been proposed at 314 Davenport. If you are buying at 277, find out exactly which way your suite faces and what the new buildings will block. Ask the board whether it has a construction agreement with the neighbouring site.

Yorkville’s shops and Avenue Road are a short walk east and the Annex streets are to the west; transit, schools and parks appear in the data panel on this page.

Pricing in a nine-suite building

The condos.ca average for 277 Davenport is about $1,074 per square foot. With nine suites, that figure rests on very few trades, and in suites this large a single sale can move it a lot.

For context, newer Yorkville buildings with full amenity packages show similar or higher averages: Minto Yorkville Park on Cumberland is around $1,152 and The Florian at 88 Davenport around $1,259, while AYC Condos, a block away at Davenport and Bedford, sits around $1,087. At these suite sizes, the building average implies prices from about $1.5 million to over $3 million, as simple arithmetic rather than a quote.

In a building this small, resale depends on a narrow group of buyers: people who can spend several million dollars and want a condo rather than a house. That pool is real in midtown, but it moves slowly, so expect longer marketing times than for a typical Yorkville two-bedroom, and price with that in mind whether you are buying or selling.

There were no active listings when I checked, and fee inclusions were not published in the data I reviewed. Ask for the status certificate before you compare monthly costs. For the actual sales, ask me for the building sold report.

Amenities at 277 Davenport

The amenity here is the suite itself and a concierge at the door. Anyone who wants a gym, pool or party room should look at the larger Yorkville towers instead.
