68 Westholme Ave: Buying Into a Brand-New, Tiny Junction Condo

68 Westholme Avenue is one of the smallest condominiums I have written about: a new low-rise on a residential street near Runnymede and Annette, with suites that live more like townhouses than apartments. Buildings like this are how people get new construction on a house street in the Junction area, but a tiny corporation with no track record needs more homework than a big tower, not less. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

A house-street condo, not a tower

Westholme Avenue is a residential street of houses running off the Runnymede and Annette area, between the Junction to the east and Bloor West Village to the south. A condominium here is an infill project on a residential lot, which is very different from buying in a mid-rise on a main street.

Public listings describe the suites as condominium townhouses, and the unit numbering seen in those listings runs to 4. That points to a handful of homes sharing one corporation, though I could not confirm the final suite count, so treat that as something to verify in the declaration rather than a fact.

What you get in exchange for the small scale is the feel of a house: your own entrance, homes spread over more than one level, and neighbours who are other owners rather than a hallway of strangers. What you give up is everything a large corporation does for you, from a concierge to a deep reserve fund.

What a brand-new, tiny corporation means for you

TSCC-3162 registered in January 2026, so it has almost no operating history. Its first budget was set by the developer, and early budgets are estimates. In my experience, fees in a new corporation are most likely to change once the first reserve fund study is done and the owners take over from the builder.

In a building of only a few suites, every cost is split very few ways. An insurance premium increase, a snow removal contract or a roof repair lands on a handful of owners, so a modest problem can mean a noticeable fee change. Ask for the current budget, the reserve fund amount, and the insurance policy and deductible before you firm up.

Governance is personal here. Small corporations often have every owner on, or close to, the board, and some are self-managed rather than run by a property management company. That can work well with organised, friendly owners and poorly without them. Ask who manages the building today and who will once the developer steps away.

Ask, too, whether the turnover meeting has happened. That is when control moves from the developer to the owners, and when the corporation should receive its records, plans, warranties and contracts. If it has already taken place, the minutes will show what was handed over and what is still missing. In a building this small, a missing set of drawings or an unsigned service contract is something the owners themselves will have to chase.

New-build protection: use it

Because the building was completed in 2026, the new-home warranty coverage from Tarion should still be running for both the suites and the common elements. Ontario coverage is tiered: one-year items, two-year items such as water penetration and building systems, and seven-year coverage for major structural defects.

If you are buying a resale suite here, ask the seller which warranty forms were filed, what items are open and what the common elements performance audit found, if one has been completed. Those documents tell you more about build quality than any open house will.

I would also have a qualified home inspector look at the suite. New does not mean flawless, and in a small infill project you want to understand the drainage, the roof and how water moves away from the foundation.

Daily life around Runnymede and Annette

This is a quiet residential pocket. Annette Street has local shops and cafés, Bloor West Village to the south has the main shopping strip, and the Junction’s Dundas West stretch is to the north-east. It is a part of the west end where people tend to stay for years, which is part of what makes a small new condo here appealing.

Transit, school, park and Walk Score details are in the data panel on this page, so I won’t repeat distances here. Parking is something to confirm for each suite: on a house street, whether a unit has its own space, and what the street parking rules are, makes a real difference to daily life. The same goes for storage, garbage and bike space, which small infill buildings handle in very different ways.

How to think about price here

There were no active listings in the building when I checked, and with a 2026 registration there is very little resale history. I am not going to quote individual numbers from any homes that have changed hands, and with only a handful of suites, a meaningful average price per square foot does not exist yet.

The honest comparison for a home here is twofold: new condominium townhouses elsewhere in the Junction and Bloor West area, and freehold semis and small houses on nearby streets. The gap between them tells you what you are paying for new construction and what you are saving by sharing a lot and a corporation.

Fees were not published in the sources I could verify, so get the current budget and compare the monthly fee against what it actually covers. My building sold report will show aggregate sold figures as this building builds a record.
