Park Place, 4200 Bathurst St: Heat, A/C and Big Suites in 92 Units

Park Place is a quiet eight-storey building on Bathurst Street that rarely shows up on anyone’s shortlist, partly because units here so seldom come up. What it offers is a fee that covers heat, cooling and parking, and suite sizes that run well past what most buyers expect in a North York mid-rise. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

The fee covers heating and cooling

Condos.ca lists air conditioning, heat, common elements, building insurance, parking and water in Park Place’s fee. In practice that leaves hydro for lights and appliances as the main utility you pay on your own, which is unusual for a building completed in 2005.

Many condos built in the mid-2000s moved heating and cooling onto individual suite meters. When you compare fees with those buildings, the Park Place fee will look higher on paper. Add back a winter heating bill, a summer cooling bill and a parking charge on the other building and the gap narrows a lot.

Bundled heat and cooling also means the building runs a central system, and central systems eventually need large, shared capital work. That is not a reason to avoid the building, but it is a reason to read the reserve fund study with an eye on the mechanical plant.

For budgeting, that predictability is the real benefit. Your monthly cost barely moves between January and July, which suits retirees on a fixed income and anyone who dislikes surprise utility bills. Ask for the last two years of fee history too, so you can see how quickly the fee has been rising.

Suite sizes from compact to house-sized

Condos.ca puts suites at about 607 to 2,235 square feet. The low end is one-bedroom territory. The high end is larger than many semi-detached houses nearby, and suites of that size in a 92-unit building are usually top-floor or corner plans.

That range shapes who lives here. Small buildings with big suites tend to attract downsizers and long-term owners, and that is the profile I would expect on this stretch of Bathurst, near Bathurst Manor and Clanton Park, where many buyers move from a house a few streets away.

Ask for the floor plan of the suite you are considering and check the balcony or terrace size separately. On larger plans, compare per-square-foot price carefully, because the biggest suites in a building often trade at a lower price per foot than the mid-sized ones.

Lancer Developments and a small corporation

Park Place was developed by Lancer Developments Limited, a smaller builder rather than one of the large names that dominate Toronto condo marketing. I could not find a published architect for the project, so I have left that out.

At 92 suites, the corporation is small enough that the board is made up of a handful of owners. That can be an advantage when the board is engaged, because decisions are quick and owners know each other. It also means each large repair is shared among fewer people.

Condos.ca lists Maple Ridge Community Management as manager. Confirm the current manager on the status certificate and ask how long they have been in place, because a recent change of manager is often a sign the board is working through something.

If the building has had major work done in recent years, such as window, roof or corridor upgrades, the minutes and the status certificate will show how it was paid for. Work funded from the reserve is a good sign of planning; work funded by a special levy deserves a question about why.

Living on this part of Bathurst

4200 Bathurst sits between Wilson Avenue and Sheppard Avenue West, on a stretch of Bathurst with a mix of low-rise residential streets and a handful of mid-rise condos, including the two Viva towers at 3830 and 3840 Bathurst a little to the south. The daily pattern is practical: shops and services along Bathurst, and Highway 401 and Allen Road close for drivers.

Condos.ca lists public transit and a security system among the building features. The specific bus routes, subway access, schools and Walk Score are in the data panel on this page, so I will not repeat them here.

Bathurst is a busy arterial road. Ask which way the suite faces and visit at rush hour, because a Bathurst-facing unit and a rear-facing one can feel like two different buildings.

What Park Place trades at

Condos.ca puts the Park Place average at about $531 per square foot. For a 2005 building with heat, cooling and parking in the fee, that is on the modest side for this part of North York.

The nearby Viva towers at 3830 and 3840 Bathurst, completed in 2006 by Remington Group with a similar eight-storey form, show averages of roughly $570 to $610 per square foot on condos.ca. Some of that gap may be size: Park Place’s large suites pull its average per foot down. Compare like with like, by size and floor, before concluding one building is cheaper.

There were no Park Place listings for sale or rent when I checked in October 2026. With 92 suites and many long-term owners, that is common. Watch the sales recorded in the panel above and be ready to move when a suitable unit appears.

Building specifications

Amenities at Park Place Condos

The amenity package is basic: a party room, a meeting room, visitor parking, a security system and an underground garage. You are paying mainly for heat, cooling, parking and upkeep, not for a gym or pool you may never use. If you want a gym, budget for a membership nearby; if you mostly want a quiet hallway and a small community of neighbours, this is the kind of building that offers it.
