As of August 2026 it is still pre-construction and still selling. No construction start has been reported.
If you have seen the address written two different ways, both are right: the City file and the developer’s investment partner both describe the site as 1045–1049 The Queensway. UrbanToronto indexes it under the single address 1045.

How it got approved, and why that matters
Joya is a useful case study in how buildings on this street actually get their permissions, because almost none of them are approved the way they were first proposed.
The zoning by-law amendment application was filed under City file 17 278454 WET 05 OZ, in the name of Queenlaw Development Limited. It ended up at the Ontario Land Tribunal as case PL210053, and was resolved by a without-prejudice settlement offer dated 30 April 2022, with architectural plans dated 31 March 2022. A later application to lift the holding provision has since been approved by Council, and the site plan application remains under review.
The practical translation: the height and the massing are settled. The interior unit count moved, because the settlement expressly allowed it to. That is normal and it is not a red flag — but it does mean that any number you were quoted in 2022 is not the number today.
What the money side looks like
Greybrook publishes its own project disclosures, which is unusual and useful. For this site it records an equity investment of $10,030,000, a transaction that closed on 19 September 2017, and an estimated completion value of $140,000,000. Project status: active.
The 2017 date is the part worth sitting with. This land was assembled nine years ago. Approval came in 2022. It is 2026 and nothing has been built. That is not a criticism of the developer — it is the timeline of mid-rise development in Toronto right now, and it is exactly the timeline a pre-construction buyer is signing up for.
There is no verified construction start date and no verified occupancy date for Joya. Any occupancy year you have been shown is a projection, not a commitment, and pre-construction agreements in Ontario routinely permit the developer to extend it. Ask for the outside occupancy date in the agreement itself, and have your lawyer read the delay and termination clauses during your ten-day cooling-off period.
Unlike a resale condo, a pre-construction agreement does carry a ten-day rescission right under the Condominium Act. Use it. It is the only free look you get.
Where it sits
1045–1049 is on the south side of The Queensway, west of Islington Avenue. Greybrook’s own description points to the Gardiner Expressway, Highway 427, Kipling and Islington stations and Mimico GO. All of that is accurate as proximity, but be specific about what it actually means day to day: the corridor is served by the 80 Queensway bus, and the subway is a bus ride north, not a walk. There is no streetcar at this end of the street.
Directly relevant to this address: the 1025 The Queensway masterplan, approved for 4,077 units, is essentially across the road, and protected bike lanes are approved for the corridor with construction anticipated in 2027. Both will change what this block feels like, in different directions.
My read
The approved building is a sensible one — 12 storeys, real retail, two levels of parking, a landscape architect who does good work. The question is not whether Joya is a good building. It is whether you want to hold a deposit for an unknown number of years on a street where a great deal of competing supply is coming, and whether the price you are being offered today already assumes the finished product. Bring me the price list and the agreement and I will tell you plainly.
Thinking about a pre-construction suite at Joya?
Send me the floor plan and the price list before you sign. I will compare it against what has actually closed nearby, walk you through the deposit structure and the occupancy clauses, and tell you if I think the numbers work. If they do not, I will tell you that too.

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
Where is Joya Condos and how many units does it have?
Joya Condos is approved for 1045-1049 The Queensway in Etobicoke, Toronto. It is a 12-storey mixed-use building with 321 suites and ground-floor commercial space, by Marlin Spring Developments and Greybrook Realty Partners.
Is Joya Condos under construction?
No. As of August 2026 the project is still pre-construction and still selling. UrbanToronto and condos.ca both list it as pre-construction, and no construction start has been reported by any credible source.
Is the address 1045 or 1049 The Queensway?
Both. The City planning file and Greybrook both describe the site as the consolidated range 1045-1049 The Queensway. UrbanToronto indexes it under the single civic address 1045 The Queensway, M8Z 1R1.
Why do some sources say Joya has 284 units?
The April 2022 Ontario Land Tribunal settlement specified 284 units, with an express reservation to adjust the number during detailed design. The current figure of 321 reflects that permitted adjustment, and is the number carried by Greybrook, UrbanToronto and condos.ca.
When will Joya Condos be completed?
There is no verified occupancy date. No construction start has been reported. Any completion year quoted to you is a projection, and the binding date is the outside occupancy date written into your own agreement of purchase and sale.
Do I get a cooling-off period when buying pre-construction at Joya?
Yes. Ontario’s Condominium Act gives a buyer of a new condominium unit from the declarant a ten-day rescission right after receiving the disclosure statement and a fully signed agreement. Resale condos have no such right.
