Living at Reina Condos (689 The Queensway) — An Etobicoke Agent’s Building Guide

Reina Condos at 689 The Queensway is the most interesting building on this corridor, and not for the usual reasons. It is Canada’s first condominium conceived, designed and developed entirely by women — and that shows up in decisions no ordinary building makes: stroller parking on every floor, a soundproofed room for music lessons, connected in-law suites for multigenerational families, and a yoga studio with a sightline into the kids’ playroom. Built on the old House of Lancaster site, it is unapologetically designed for families rather than investors. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

Quick answer

Reina Condos is a 9-storey, 200-suite condominium at 689 The Queensway in Etobicoke, Toronto, developed by Urban Capital + Spotlight. First occupancy was February 2025. The condominium corporation is TSCC-3158. Maintenance fees: About $0.59 to $0.62 per square foot — at the low end for this corridor — including bulk high-speed internet and water.

A building designed by people who thought about daily life

Most condo amenity lists are written to sell suites. Reina’s reads like it was written by people who have actually carried a stroller, a toddler and a bag of groceries through a lobby at the same time.

  • Stroller parking on every floor — so you’re not wrestling one into an elevator or leaving it in a hallway.
  • The Sound(less) room — soundproofed for music lessons and karaoke, so a kid learning trumpet doesn’t generate a noise complaint.
  • A yoga studio with a sightline into the kids’ playroom — you can exercise and still see your child.
  • Two connected ground-floor in-law suite pairs with shared living space, for multigenerational families.
  • A 24-hour snack shack and a pet wash.

None of these are expensive features. They are the result of asking a different question at the design stage. Whether that premise appeals to you is personal — but it is a real differentiator, and it will matter to the next buyer too.

The fee structure is genuinely competitive

At roughly $0.59 to $0.62 per square foot, Reina sits at the low end of this corridor — and the fee includes bulk high-speed internet and water, with hydro sub-metered separately.

Bulk internet is worth more than people account for. Negotiated across 200 units it typically costs a fraction of an individual retail plan, so a fee that looks similar to a neighbouring building is effectively $50 to $80 a month cheaper once you stop paying your own internet bill.

Parking runs about $40 a month and a locker about $10. Worth knowing: at purchase, parking was only available to two-bedroom-and-larger buyers and lockers to three-bedroom-and-larger — so if you’re buying a one-bedroom on resale and you need parking, confirm the unit actually comes with it.

Pricing — and the same developer gap

As at August 2026, resale asking prices ran from about $438,000 for a 1+den to $1,199,000 for a three-bedroom, with two-bedrooms around $599,900 to $689,000. Trailing twelve-month sold data shows only 3 units sold at an average of about $759 per square foot, transacting at full asking.

Meanwhile developer inventory as at November 2025 was listed from $549,000 to $1,469,000 at about $1,006 per square foot.

The same pattern as its neighboursRoughly $1,006 per square foot from the developer versus about $759 per square foot on resale. As with 859 West, that gap deserves a hard look before you buy new inventory. Ask me to run the resale comparables — it costs you nothing and it is the single highest-value thing I can do for you at this stage.

One caveat in the building’s favour: three sales is a very small sample, and units sold at 100% of asking, which is a sign of genuine demand rather than distress. Rentals in August 2026 averaged about $2,392 per month across six active listings.

The Sound(less) room is soundproofed for music practice and karaoke, and the yoga studio has a deliberate sightline into the children’s playroom so a parent can exercise while watching their kid.

Jatin’s honest take on Reina Condos

Who this building suits

Families, straightforwardly. The unit mix is deliberately weighted to two and three bedrooms, the amenities are built around children, and the in-law suite pairs suit multigenerational households — a real need in this part of Etobicoke that almost no new building addresses. It also suits anyone who wants low fees with internet bundled in.

What I’d want you to check

Confirm parking comes with the specific unit, because of the original purchase restrictions. Property management was not verifiable in public sources — ask who runs the building and how it has gone since registration in December 2025. And treat the $759 per square foot resale figure with appropriate caution: three sales is not a market, it is three data points, so the true range may be wider in both directions.

The value question

Resale in the mid-$700s per square foot for a nine-storey building with this amenity depth, these fees and bulk internet included is, in my view, one of the better propositions on The Queensway right now. The family-focused design is also a genuine moat — buildings that solve a specific problem for a specific buyer tend to hold value better than generic investor stock when the market softens. At developer pricing near $1,006 per square foot I would want a much longer conversation first.

Reina Condos review: the honest pros and cons

Below is my own assessment as a broker, built from the building facts verified above — the condo corporation record, the fee schedule, the registered unit mix and the resale evidence that exists so far. It is not a summary of resident reviews, and I have not collected testimonials from owners. Where the public record is thin, I say so rather than filling the gap.

What Reina genuinely gets right

  • Fees are low for the corridor. Roughly $0.59 to $0.62 per square foot, with bulk high-speed internet and water included. On a Queensway building of this amenity depth that is a real advantage, not a marketing line.
  • The unit mix is built for families. Deliberately weighted to two and three bedrooms, with in-law suite pairs for multigenerational households — a need in this part of Etobicoke that almost no other new building addresses.
  • Ceiling heights above the norm. 9 ft on floors 2 through 8, 10 ft on floor 9.
  • It is past the messy stage. First occupancy February 2025, registered as TSCC-3158 on 23 December 2025, so buyers are not walking into interim occupancy.
  • Walkability. A Walk Score of 85, with about 5,400 sq ft of retail at grade.

What I would check before you buy

  • Confirm parking conveys with the specific unit. Eligibility was restricted at original purchase, so it does not automatically follow the suite.
  • Ask who manages the building. Property management was not verifiable in public sources. Ask how it has run since registration in December 2025.
  • Treat the resale figure with caution. The roughly $759 per square foot number rests on three sales. Three sales is not a market, it is three data points, and the true range may be wider in both directions.
  • It is a small corporation. 200 suites across 9 storeys means a smaller pool to spread a major repair across than a large tower offers.
  • Hydro is sub-metered separately and is not part of the maintenance fee.

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.

How this works — your estimate comes from a model built on recent Toronto & GTA condo sale data, weighting area, size, layout, floor, exposure, view, parking, locker, age and condition. It is an automated estimate for information only — not an appraisal and not a Comparative Market Analysis. Condo values also depend on the building’s reserve fund, maintenance fees, recent special assessments and status certificate, none of which a model can read. Ask me for a written CMA before you make a decision.
