Michael Power Place is a short cul-de-sac off Dundas Street West holding eight condominium buildings — Vivid, Palais, and Port Royal Place I through VI — and every one is a separate condominium corporation. Most were developed by Pemberton Group, but they are managed by four different companies and their fees cover different things.
Two things worth knowing before you compare anything here. The street numbers run backwards to the build order — 17 is the oldest, 1 the newest. And the fee rates are not comparable, because some buildings include hydro in the fee and others do not.
The eight buildings, side by side
| Building | Corporation | Registered | Storeys | Suites | Fee rate | Hydro in fee? | Walk to Islington (measured) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vivid — 1 Michael Power Pl | TSCC-2457 | 1 Jun 2015 | 20 | 250 | Not published | No | ~8.8 min |
| Palais — 3 Michael Power Pl | TSCC-2226 | 12 Mar 2012 | 30 | 261 | Not published | No | ~8.8 min |
| Port Royal Place VI — 5 | TSCC-2013 | 28 Apr 2009 | 24 | 207 | Not published | No | ~6.3 min |
| Port Royal Place V — 7 | TSCC-1793 | 22 Aug 2006 | 16 | 137 | $1.01 | Yes | ~9.3 min |
| Port Royal Place IV — 9 | TSCC-1808 | 27 Oct 2006 | 12 | 149 | $0.94 | Yes | ~12.3 min |
| Port Royal Place III — 11 | TSCC-1576 | 24 Dec 2003 | 12 | 149 | $1.08 | Yes — but no parking | ~10.4 min |
| Port Royal Place II — 15 | TSCC-1544 | 18 Sep 2003 | 16 | 140 | $1.11 | Yes | ~12.5 min |
| Port Royal Place I — 17 | TSCC-1518 | 21 May 2003 | 9 | 130 | $0.94 | Yes | ~13.2 min |
Developer is Pemberton Group across the group, except Port Royal Place IV, where neither source names one. Architect is BURKA Architects for Vivid and Palais — single-sourced, and not published for the six Port Royal buildings. Figures read 23 August 2026.
Port Royal Place I, II, IV and V include hydro in the monthly fee. Port Royal Place VI, Vivid, Palais and most of the surrounding market do not. Port Royal Place III includes hydro but, uniquely, does not include parking.
So a $1.11 hydro-inclusive fee at Port Royal II and a $0.74 hydro-exclusive fee at a building down the road are not the same number, and ranking them in one column would mislead you. Whenever you see a fee comparison for this street — including mine — check the inclusion set beside every rate.
Four of the eight have no published rate at all: the data block did not render for Vivid, Palais, Port Royal VI or Network Lofts nearby. I have left those blank rather than estimating them from listing fees against 100-square-foot bands.
The subway walk: what the listings say, and what I measured
One database states that Port Royal Place II is a “1-minute walk to Islington subway station.” That is not correct. I routed every address to Islington station on the OpenStreetMap pedestrian network, and 15 Michael Power Place measured 934 metres, about 12.5 minutes.
The measured range across the eight buildings runs from 472 metres (about 6.3 minutes) at Port Royal Place VI to 988 metres (about 13.2 minutes) at Port Royal Place I, at the deep end of the cul-de-sac. Roughly a seven-minute spread between the closest and furthest building on the same short street.
That is still a walkable location — twelve minutes to a Line 2 platform is a genuinely good commute. It is simply not one minute, and if you are paying a premium for subway proximity you should know which end of the street you are buying on.
One database describes every building here as near “Bloor St and Dunbloor Rd.” Michael Power Place is a cul-de-sac off Dundas Street West, postal code M9A 5G1. If you are orienting yourself from a listing description, use the postal code or a map, not the cross-street.
The roman numerals are marketing, not chronology
Worth knowing if you are comparing two Port Royal buildings and trying to work out which is newer:
- Port Royal Place I, II and III were all registered in 2003, in that order — May, September and December.
- Port Royal Place V registered before Port Royal Place IV. V is TSCC-1793 from August 2006; IV is TSCC-1808 from October 2006.
- VI followed in 2009, then Palais in 2012 and Vivid in 2015 — so the newest buildings carry the lowest street numbers.
Management is split four ways too: Wilson Blanchard at I, Del Property Management at II, III and IV, Icon at V, and Performance Property Management at VI and Vivid. Palais’ manager is not published on either source. That matters more than it sounds — management quality is one of the few things that genuinely differentiates otherwise similar buildings on one street.
When I checked this building on 23 August 2026, the two large public condo databases — condos.ca and strata.ca — disagreed about what the monthly fee covers. That pattern held on most South Etobicoke buildings I checked, which tells me at least one of them is populating the field from individual MLS listings rather than from the corporation’s budget. Under my licence I’m not willing to publish a fee inclusion list I can’t stand behind. The only reliable source is the status certificate, which the corporation must provide within 10 days of a written request and a fee capped at $100 including HST under Ontario’s Condominium Act. Ask for it before you waive conditions, and have your lawyer read it.
On this street the differences between buildings are real and documented, which is exactly why the status certificate matters. What I am not willing to do is publish an inclusion list as settled fact when the two databases disagree on so many neighbouring buildings.
When I checked the two large public condo databases on 23 August 2026, they disagreed about this building’s average price per square foot by a wide margin — and that pattern held across every building I checked in this pocket of Etobicoke. The gaps ran from 18% to 27%. Two databases cannot both be right about the same building on the same day, and I have no way to tell you which one is closer. What that tells you is simple: aggregator price-per-square-foot figures are not a valuation. They are built from small samples, sometimes mixed with rental data, and they move sharply on one unusual sale. If you want to know what a specific suite is worth, ask me for the actual sold comparables and I will show you the individual transactions.
On Michael Power Place the gaps were wide on every building: Port Royal Place I showed $678 and $835 per square foot on the same day; Port Royal Place III showed $689 and $812. Several averages rest on three or four sales.
The one building where both sources agree is Port Royal Place V — roughly $655 per square foot and roughly a 16% twelve-month decline on both. When two independent aggregators converge on a thin market, that is the closest thing to a reliable signal you will get here, and it is not a happy one.
Elsewhere the disagreement is severe enough to be unusable. Port Royal Place IV showed a twelve-month change of −13.2% on one source and −1.97% on the other. I would not publish either figure as fact, and neither should a listing.
A great deal is proposed around this street
This is the material forward-looking issue for all eight buildings. From the City of Toronto’s development applications dataset, within roughly 600 metres:
- 4975 Dundas St W (25 213384 WET 03 OZ) — under review, 44 storeys, 563 units. This one reverse-projects to about 20 metres from Port Royal Place II.
- 1243 Islington Ave (25 244597 WET 03 OZ) — council approved October 2025; 61 storeys, 191 metres, 702 units.
- 25 Mabelle Ave (22 206826 WET 03 SA) — under appeal; 49 storeys, 580 units.
- 4875 Dundas St W (24 143269 WET 03 OZ) — under appeal; 45 storeys, 488 units.
- 1276 Islington Ave (26 102769 WET 03 SA) — under review as of January 2026; 35 storeys, 375 purpose-built rentals.
- 12 and 15 Cordova Ave — 27 storeys and two further phases totalling several hundred units.
- 56 Fieldway Rd (23 127950 WET 03 SA) — four towers at 12, 23, 34 and 42 storeys, 1,340 units.
A 61-storey tower already has council approval within a few hundred metres of this cul-de-sac. Whatever your view of that, it is a fact on the public record and it will reshape sightlines from the upper floors of every building on the street.
Check the current status yourself on the City of Toronto’s Application Information Centre. Applications move, appeals resolve, and this summary will go stale.
What I could not verify
- Fee rate for Vivid, Palais and Port Royal Place VI.
- Property management for Palais.
- Developer for Port Royal Place IV.
- Architect for all six Port Royal buildings; single-sourced for Vivid and Palais.
- Unit size ranges. The two sources conflict on seven of the eight, sometimes by more than 150 square feet. Palais is the worst: three different ranges, two of them on the same page.
- Whether Vivid’s indoor pool exists. One source lists one; the other does not. Its description of a “splash pad, playground, gazebo and gatehouse” reads like a masterplan description rather than this building’s own amenities. Confirm with the property manager.
- Any shared-facilities agreement. I searched every page for shared facilities, reciprocal use and sister-building language. Nothing. The shared street and the common developer are not evidence — and the differing fee inclusions actively argue against it.
The takeaway
Michael Power Place gives you eight genuinely different buildings on one short street, with a real seven-minute spread in walking distance to Islington station and fee structures that are not comparable without reading what each covers. Before you offer: work out which end of the cul-de-sac the suite is on, check whether hydro is in the fee, and look up the 44-storey application 20 metres away and the 61-storey approval down the road. Then send me the unit and I will pull the actual sold comparables for that specific corporation.

Frequently asked questions
Are the Port Royal Place buildings one condominium corporation?
No — eight separate corporations on one street: TSCC-1518 at 17 Michael Power Place, TSCC-1544 at 15, TSCC-1576 at 11, TSCC-1793 at 7, TSCC-1808 at 9, TSCC-2013 at 5, TSCC-2226 at 3 (Palais) and TSCC-2457 at 1 (Vivid). Each has its own fee structure, reserve fund and resale history, and they are managed by four different companies.
How far is Michael Power Place from Islington subway station?
I measured every address on the OpenStreetMap pedestrian network. The range runs from about 472 metres, roughly 6.3 minutes, at Port Royal Place VI to about 988 metres, roughly 13.2 minutes, at Port Royal Place I. One database’s claim that 15 Michael Power Place is a one-minute walk is not correct — I measured that one at about 934 metres, roughly 12.5 minutes.
Which Michael Power Place building has the lowest fees?
The question is harder than it looks, because the fees do not cover the same things. Port Royal Place I and IV showed the lowest published rate at $0.94 per square foot, and Port Royal Place II the highest at $1.11 — but I, II, IV and V include hydro while VI, Vivid and Palais do not, and III includes hydro but excludes parking. Always compare the inclusion set alongside the rate.
Why do the Port Royal Place numbers not match the build order?
The roman numerals are a marketing sequence, not a registration sequence. Port Royal Place I, II and III all registered in 2003; Port Royal Place V registered in August 2006, two months before Port Royal Place IV in October 2006. The street numbers also run backwards to age — 17 is the oldest building and 1, Vivid, is the newest at 2015.
Have condo values fallen at Michael Power Place?
Where the sources agree, yes. Port Royal Place V is the clearest case: both databases showed roughly a 16% twelve-month decline and roughly $655 per square foot. Elsewhere the sources disagree severely — Port Royal Place IV showed −13.2% on one and −1.97% on the other — and several averages rest on only three or four sales. Ask for the individual sold comparables.
Is there major construction planned near Michael Power Place?
Yes. A 44-storey, 563-unit tower at 4975 Dundas St W is under review roughly 20 metres from Port Royal Place II, and a 61-storey, 702-unit building at 1243 Islington Ave was council-approved in October 2025. Several more applications between 27 and 49 storeys sit within about 600 metres. Check current status on the City of Toronto Application Information Centre.
Do the Michael Power Place buildings share amenities?
No source says so. I searched every page for shared-facilities, reciprocal-use and sister-building language and found nothing. The shared street and common developer are not evidence, and the fact that the buildings have different amenity sets and different fee inclusions argues against it. Any shared-facilities agreement would appear in the corporation’s declaration and status certificate.
