Living here
Renters, Airbnb and elevators at The Summit II
Do mostly owners or renters live here?
Renter-heavy building. Of 55 deals here in the last 24 months, 37 were leases and 18 were sales. A high lease share usually means more investor owners, more move-ins and a deeper pool of rental comparables.
Can you Airbnb a unit at The Summit II?
Some owners here hold City registrations, but the condo’s own declaration and rules can still forbid short stays. In Toronto you can only host in your principal residence, a whole unit for at most 180 nights a year, with a $390 yearly registration and 6% accommodation tax. You cannot buy here to run it as a full-time Airbnb. Check the condo’s rules in the status certificate before you count on it.
How reliable are the elevators?
Ontario requires residential buildings to report any elevator outage lasting 48 hours or more, and this address has none on record. Elevators still need modernizing every 25 to 30 years, so check the reserve fund study for the date.
Sources: TRREB MLS® System lease and sale counts; City of Toronto short-term rental registrations (Open Data, 18 Oct 2026); TSSA Residential Elevator Availability portal.
Before you buy here
Five things the listing will not tell you about The Summit II
- Reserve fund health. Ask for the latest reserve fund study and its date. A thin fund in an older building usually means fee jumps or a special assessment.
- Special assessments and big repairs. Check the status certificate for planned levies and for balcony, garage, window or elevator work.
- Insurance deductible. Find the corporation’s deductible for water damage. If it is higher than your own policy covers, raise your coverage before closing.
- Fee trend. Compare this year’s budget with last year’s. Rises of 2–5% a year are typical; bigger jumps need an explanation.
- Lawsuits and rules. Look for legal claims against the corporation, and for rules on pets, short-term rentals and leasing.
Send me the status certificate and I will flag anything that matters before your conditional period runs out.

The Summit II is what King West looked like before King West was cool: a brick 1980s tower in a complex that fills most of a city block, with an indoor pool, an outdoor pool and a squash court. It is also one of the cheapest ways in to this part of downtown. The age and the fee structure are the catch, and I will walk you through both. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.
Quick answer
The Summit II is a 20-storey, 305-suite condominium at 705 King Street West, west of Bathurst, in the West Queen West pocket of the Queen West, Trinity-Bellwoods, Kensington and Little Italy area of Toronto. Condos.ca lists it as built in 1985 by Toddglen Construction and Creson Investments, with the condominium corporation MTCC-674 registered on 28 June 1985; another source gives 1983 as the build year. It is part of The Summit complex with sister buildings at 701 and 725 King Street West. The fee includes common elements, building insurance and water.
The Summit II at a glance
A 1980s complex on a King West block
The Summit is a group of brick condominium buildings on the south side of King Street West, just west of Bathurst. This building, at 705 King, is the tallest at 20 storeys. The Summit III next door at 725 King is a 13-storey building with 160 suites, and a third building in the family is listed at 701 King Street West, which also carries a 570 Wellington Street West address.
Condos.ca credits the complex to Toddglen Construction and Creson Investments and dates this tower to 1985. REW lists it as built in 1983 with 304 suites, against 305 on condos.ca. These are small differences, but they are a good reminder to read the declaration rather than a listing sheet.
When these buildings went up, King and Bathurst was an industrial edge of downtown. Now the complex sits in the middle of King West, a few minutes from the restaurant strip, Stackt Market and the Fort York grounds. The buildings have not changed much; the neighbourhood around them has.
Suites: small entry points and practical plans
This tower has a wide mix, and it starts small. The two suites listed for sale when I checked were a studio under 500 square feet and a one-bedroom-plus-den in the 700 to 799 square foot range. One local agent’s write-up describes a typical one-plus-den of about 740 square feet with an open living and dining area, a separate den and an in-suite storage room.
That in-suite storage is a feature of many 1980s plans that newer towers dropped. So is a more conventional layout, with a proper entry, real closets and kitchens that may or may not have been opened up by previous owners. Renovated suites and original suites sit side by side here, and the price difference between them is large.
For a first-time buyer, a studio in a building with two pools is an unusual combination. Just remember that studios are the hardest units to resell in a slow market, so buy one because you want to live in it, not only because it is the cheapest door into King West.

Fees: what is in, what is not
Condos.ca lists the fee as covering common elements, building insurance and water. Heat, hydro and parking are not on that list. Across current listings the fee works out to roughly $1.13 per square foot a month, which is above what many newer buildings charge, and you still pay utilities on top.
The likely reason is the amenity package. Two pools, a sauna, a squash court, staffed security and a building of this age are expensive to run and maintain. That is a fair trade if you use them, and a poor one if you do not.
Notice the difference next door: condos.ca lists the fee at 725 King as also including air conditioning and parking. If you are choosing between the two buildings, compare like with like and confirm each inclusion in the status certificate.
Parking deserves its own question. The complex has underground parking, but at this building parking is not listed in the fee, so find out whether the suite you want comes with a space, whether it is owned or rented, and what it costs each month. In King West, a suite with a deeded spot can be worth noticeably more at resale than one without, and smaller suites are the ones most likely to come without one.
Life at King and Bathurst
You are a short walk from King West’s restaurants and bars, close to the Wellington Street parkettes and Victoria Memorial Square, and within reach of Fort York and the waterfront paths. The Ossington and Queen West strips are a little further north and west. For streetcars, schools and Walk Score, see the data panel on this page.
King and Bathurst is busy, with streetcars on both streets and a lot of construction as the area keeps building. Suites facing King hear more of that. Higher floors on the south side tend to be quieter and get the better views toward the lake.
The upside of all that building is that the area keeps getting more useful: more groceries, gyms and places to eat within a few blocks every year. For an owner in an established building, new supply nearby mostly adds convenience, though it does give renters more choice.
Where the price sits
This is one of the more affordable addresses in King West. The two suites listed for sale when I checked, were asking from about $318,000 to $537,000, with fees from about $312 to $753 a month. Two more suites were listed for rent.
Condos.ca does not publish an average price per square foot for this tower, but its sister building at 725 King averages around $669 per square foot. Newer King West towers typically ask well above that, so you are getting a real discount for an older building.
That discount only holds if you include the fee and utilities in your math. For the recent sale and lease record, use the data panel on this page or ask me for a building sold report.

Amenities at The Summit II
Indoor and outdoor pools in the same complex are rare downtown, and a squash court is rarer still. If you will swim year-round or want a summer pool deck without leaving home, this package is a genuine reason to choose the building over a newer tower.
Jatin’s honest take on The Summit II
Who this building suits
First-time buyers who want a King West address at an entry price, swimmers and squash players, and buyers who prefer a 1980s layout with storage over a narrow modern plan. It also suits people who walk to work in the core or in Liberty Village.
What I’d want you to check
Resolve who manages the building, since condos.ca lists Shelter Canadian Properties and REW lists DASH. This building is around 40 years old, so read the reserve fund study for windows, balconies, the garage, elevators and both pools, and ask whether any large projects or fee increases are planned. Confirm whether the suite comes with parking or a locker, and read the pet and rental rules in the status certificate, because public sources disagree on pets.
The value question
At prices well below newer King West stock, this is good value for an owner who uses the amenities and plans to stay. The fee is high for what it includes, so I would not buy here only as a rental investment unless the numbers work after the fee and the reserve fund outlook.
