Hunt Club Terrace, 1340 Kingston Rd: 16 Suites Above the Toronto Hunt

Hunt Club Terrace is the smallest of the new condominiums that have grown up beside the Toronto Hunt on Kingston Road, and that is exactly its appeal. It has about 16 suites, a stepped six-storey design and, on the south side, a view across the golf course toward the lake. The catch is that almost nothing ever comes up for sale.

From a Volkswagen garage to a boutique condo

The site at Kingston Road and Queensbury Avenue was a car repair shop for decades. Nick’s Auto, a Volkswagen specialist, operated there for about 30 years, and when sales began in late 2012 the old garage was converted into the presentation centre. The project was marketed at the time as Queensbury Terrace.

Sources differ on who developed it. A 2012 Birch Cliff News article names Gear Development Group, which had already built three houses on Queensbury, with Wilkinson Construction as builder. UrbanToronto’s launch coverage names Wilkinson Developments, and one building directory lists Wilkinson Construction Services with Platinum Investment Real Estate Group. Wilkinson is the common thread; confirm the declarant in the status certificate.

The design is credited to RAW Design, with JH Rust Architects also named at launch. RAW has since designed Terrasse at the Hunt Club a few doors west, so the two buildings share some design thinking.

A sloped design that steps down to the houses

The building’s most distinctive feature is its profile. The rear façade was designed to slope at about 45 degrees so the building steps back from the houses on Queensbury Avenue rather than looming over them. That produces terraces on the upper floors and a building that reads smaller than six storeys from the side street.

At launch, nine suites were planned to face south over the Toronto Hunt golf course toward Lake Ontario and eight to face north. The south side is the one most buyers want; a north suite looks toward Kingston Road and the neighbourhood behind it, so price and judge them differently.

The ground floor was planned as commercial space along Kingston Road, with underground parking reached from Queensbury. Ask what currently occupies the retail unit, because a ground-floor tenant affects noise, smells and garbage arrangements in a building this small.

Suites: one and two storeys, and conflicting size data

Launch materials described one- and two-storey suites with nine-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, stone counters and large balconies or terraces with glass railings. That is a high spec for a 16-suite building, and it is why the price per foot sits well above older Scarborough condominiums.

Suite sizes are hard to pin down. Launch coverage gave about 730 to 1,725 square feet, plus a penthouse of about 1,800 with a rooftop terrace option. One directory lists 958 to 1,504 square feet, and condos.ca records a wider 636 to 3,109. The highest figures may include terrace area. Get the plan and the declaration’s suite description for any unit you consider.

The suite count is also reported differently: 17 at launch and in one directory, 16 on condos.ca. Suites may have been combined during construction. It does not change much, but it is worth checking.

Two-storey suites and terraces are a real lifestyle advantage, but they come with questions. Ask who is responsible for terrace membranes and drains, whether planters or hot tubs are allowed, and how snow and water are handled on the sloped sections. Those answers sit in the declaration and rules.

Birch Cliff, the Hunt and the Kingston Road strip

The building sits on Kingston Road in Birch Cliff, on a stretch of the street that has drawn several new mid-rise condos. Terrasse at the Hunt Club, completed in 2023 at 1316 Kingston Road, and the Residences at the Hunt Club at 1350 Kingston Road, planned at eight storeys when it launched in 2014, are close neighbours, so this block has become a small cluster of newer boutique buildings.

The Toronto Hunt is a private club, so the golf course is a view rather than a park. For walking, the Scarborough Bluffs and the eastern end of the Beaches are the draws, and the shops and restaurants along Kingston Road cover daily needs. The automatic panel on this page lists transit, schools and nearby food and parks.

Expect more change on Kingston Road. The run of new mid-rise buildings shows the street is being intensified, which brings construction for a while but also more shops and services over time.

For a buyer here, that cluster is helpful. Three boutique buildings on one block give you more comparables, a clearer sense of what newer east-end mid-rise suites sell for, and alternatives if the right suite in this building is not available.

Price per square foot, and why there is so little data

Condos.ca puts the building average at about $795 per square foot. That is roughly twice what older Scarborough towers trade at, and it reflects the 2017 construction, the finishes and the views.

No suites were for sale or for lease when I checked. In a building with 16 suites, a year can pass with one sale or none, so there are very few comparables. Use my building sold report and be prepared to lean on sales at Terrasse and the Residences at the Hunt Club to judge value.

Fees cover common elements, building insurance, parking and water, which means you pay your own heat and hydro. Ask the seller for a year of utility bills, because terraces and floor-to-ceiling glass can make heating and cooling costs higher than the suite size suggests.

Amenities at Hunt Club Terrace

There is no gym, pool or concierge here; the amenity is your own suite and terrace, and barbecues are permitted. For a 16-suite building, that keeps the operating budget lean, which matters when so few owners share the costs.
