Get My Free Estimate →Curio Condos is a ten-storey, 206-suite mid-rise at 799 The Queensway in Etobicoke, developed by Marlin Spring Developments with DAMAC Properties and designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects. It topped off in late 2024, and the builder announced first occupancies on 18 September 2025. Suites are now trading on resale and lease.
My office is at 799 The Queensway — the next address on the street. This is the building I get asked about most, and it is also the one where the published numbers disagree most, so I have flagged each disagreement below rather than picking a side.
The building, in numbers
Everything in this table comes from either the developers’ own material or UrbanToronto’s project record. Where a source conflicts with the others, it is noted in the row.
| Field | What the record says |
|---|---|
| Address | 799 The Queensway, Etobicoke, Toronto |
| Developers | Marlin Spring Developments and DAMAC Properties — both named on the project’s own team page |
| Architect | Graziani + Corazza Architects |
| Landscape architect | Ferris + Associates Inc. |
| Storeys | 10. UrbanToronto’s news reporting and project record both say ten. The builder’s own occupancy announcement says eleven. I use ten, because it is the figure two independent records agree on. |
| Height | 37.0 m (about 121 ft) |
| Suites | 206 |
| Suite sizes | Roughly 440 to 1,054 sq ft |
| Retail | Yes — commercial space at grade, fronting The Queensway |
| Construction | Started early 2023; tower crane installed December 2023; residential storeys complete by October 2024; topped off by January 2025 |
| Occupancy | First homeowners moved in from 18 September 2025, per the builder |
| Status today | Complete. Marlin Spring lists remaining inventory as move-in ready |
The DAMAC question
People ask about this because it is unusual. DAMAC Properties is a Dubai-based developer, and a Middle Eastern developer on a ten-storey Etobicoke mid-rise is not an everyday pairing. It is real: the project’s own team page names Marlin Spring Developments and DAMAC Properties as the two developers, and UrbanToronto’s project record lists the same pairing. That is a first-party statement corroborated by an independent database, which is as solid as this kind of fact gets without a title search.
What that means for a buyer is honestly not much. The building is finished, the condominium is being run by its board and its manager, and who financed it matters far less now than the reserve fund study and the last two years of minutes.
What I could not verify, and will not print
The condominium corporation number. Curio is plainly registered — suites are closing straight to final closing with no interim occupancy period, resale and lease deals are completing on MLS, and the City’s condominium file for the site shows final approval completed. But I could not confirm the actual TSCC number from a registry source, so I am not printing one. If you need it, it comes from a title search or from the Condominium Authority of Ontario registry — not from a blog.
Also unverified: the interior design firm, the deposit structure, and the maintenance fee structure. None of those are published anywhere I would stand behind.
What it is actually like as a place to live
Ten storeys and 206 suites puts Curio in the size class that behaves well: big enough to carry a concierge and real amenity space, small enough that the board is not managing a small town. The rooftop terrace, fitness centre and concierge appear on MLS listings for the building, and suites have ensuite laundry.
The location is the part I know best, because I work from it. 801 sits on the north side of The Queensway between Islington Avenue and Royal York Road, at the Taymall Avenue end. That stretch is walkable in the practical sense — groceries, coffee, the bank, the vet — rather than the picturesque sense. It is a working commercial street that is turning residential one mid-rise at a time.
For getting around: the 80 Queensway bus runs the length of the corridor and connects east to Keele Station. Royal York and Islington stations on Line 2 are the nearest subway. One thing people get wrong constantly — streetcars do not run this far west on The Queensway. The westernmost streetcar point is Humber Loop. Anyone telling you a suite here is “on the streetcar line” has not checked.
What I would check before buying here
- The status certificate, in full, with a lawyer. In a building this new the reserve fund is young by definition, and the first reserve fund study sets the tone for the next decade of fee increases.
- The performance audit. New Ontario condominiums get one, and it is where construction deficiencies get catalogued and pursued against the declarant. In a building occupied from late 2025 this is live, current, and worth reading.
- Whether the suite closed on the original purchase or is a resale. It changes the HST and rebate analysis entirely.
- The actual monthly fee and what it includes — not the fee that was projected in the disclosure statement three years ago.
- Parking and locker. Owned, exclusive-use, or neither. On mid-rises with retail at grade, parking supply is tighter than people expect.
My read
Curio is a competently built, appropriately scaled mid-rise on a street that is going to look very different in ten years. The building itself is not the risk. The risk is paying a new-build premium for a suite in a corridor where thousands of units are approved or proposed within walking distance — some of which will be newer than this one when you go to sell. Price accordingly, and look hard at the specific suite’s exposure and outlook rather than the building’s age.
Looking at a suite in Curio?
Send me the unit number or the listing link. I will tell you what I actually know about the building, what I would want to see in the status certificate, and whether the price makes sense against what has sold. My office is the next address along the street, so I can be standing outside it in two minutes.

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.

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 units are in Curio Condos at 799 The Queensway?
206 suites. UrbanToronto’s project record and its January 2025 construction report both give 206 units across 10 storeys, at a height of 37 metres.
Who built Curio Condos?
Marlin Spring Developments and DAMAC Properties, with Graziani + Corazza Architects as architect and Ferris + Associates as landscape architect. Both developers are named on the project’s own team page.
Is Curio Condos finished and occupied?
Yes. The building topped off by January 2025, and the builder announced that first homeowners were moving in on 18 September 2025. Marlin Spring now markets remaining inventory as move-in ready, closing straight to final closing with no interim occupancy period.
Is Curio Condos 10 storeys or 11?
The records disagree. UrbanToronto’s news article and its project database both say 10 storeys at 37 metres. The builder’s own occupancy announcement says 11. I use 10, because two independent records agree on it, but you should count the floors yourself before relying on the number for anything that matters.
What is the condo corporation number for Curio Condos?
I could not verify it from a registry source, so I am not publishing one. The building is clearly registered, but the corporation number should come from a title search or the Condominium Authority of Ontario registry rather than from a website.
Is Curio Condos on a streetcar line?
No. Streetcar service on The Queensway ends at Humber Loop, well to the east. Curio is served by the 80 Queensway bus, with Royal York and Islington stations on TTC Line 2 as the nearest subway stops.
