Tiffany Terrace, 30 Hayden St: 85 Suites and Two-Storey Lofts off Yonge

Tiffany Terrace is the small building most people walk past on their way to Yonge and Bloor. It has only 85 suites over 14 storeys, sits on Hayden Street a block south of Bloor, and includes some two-storey loft suites you rarely find in a tower of this age. If you want a quiet side-street building a few minutes from the subway interchange, it deserves a look. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

A small building on a side street

Hayden Street runs east from Yonge a block south of Bloor, and that one block makes a real difference. You are a few minutes’ walk from the Yonge and Bloor intersection, yet the building does not face the traffic and crowds of either street. Signatures on Bloor sits immediately to the north on Bloor itself.

With 85 suites, Tiffany Terrace is small for a 14-storey building. Fewer suites means fewer neighbours per elevator, a lobby where staff can learn faces, and a board that represents a manageable number of owners. It also means fewer sales, so the right suite may take some patience.

The building is a conventional concrete tower, and it is not trying to be anything else. What sets it apart is scale and position rather than architecture.

Shane Baghai, a custom-home builder

The developer was Shane Baghai, whose company, Baghai Development, was founded in 1976 to build custom homes and within a few years was buying land in North York and Markham; its recent work includes projects in Leaside. Tiffany Terrace dates from the late-1990s condo cycle, when Baghai was building downtown.

A developer’s name matters less in a 26-year-old building than the corporation’s record since. The original builder’s warranty period ended long ago, and what you are really buying into now is how the board and manager have looked after the place.

In a building this size, that record is easy to read. Ask for the last three years of board minutes and budgets, and look for a pattern: steady, planned fee increases and completed projects are a good sign, while flat fees followed by a sudden jump usually mean work was put off.

Two-storey lofts and conventional plans

Suites run from about 573 to 1,158 square feet, so there are no tiny studios here. The mix includes one-bedrooms, one-bedroom-plus-dens and two-bedrooms, and the smallest suites are still a workable size for a single owner.

The detail that surprises people is the two-storey loft suites. One recent listing described a two-level one-bedroom-plus-open-den with two bathrooms, hardwood floors and a south-facing balcony, along with a parking space and a locker. A loft plan gives you separation between living and sleeping that a flat suite of the same size cannot.

Not every suite is a loft. The conventional single-level plans are typical of the era, and since no source I found states ceiling heights, check them in person. Ask for the floor plan and which level the entry is on before you book a showing.

Loft suites also resell differently. They attract a specific buyer who wants volume and separation, and because there are only a handful in an 85-suite building, comparables are scarce. That can work in a seller’s favour, but as a buyer it means you should base your offer on per-square-foot evidence from the building and similar lofts nearby rather than on the asking price alone.

Hayden Street day to day

Daily life here revolves around Yonge and Bloor. Yorkville’s shops and restaurants are a short walk north-west, the Church-Wellesley Village is a short walk south, and the Bloor Street East office towers are around the corner. The automatic panel on this page covers transit, schools and walkability.

The block across Bloor is in flux. The former Hudson’s Bay store at 2 Bloor Street East closed in 2022, and in April 2026 Brookfield Properties applied to convert its upper floors to self-storage and renovate the ground floor as retail. That application was undecided at the time of writing.

Hayden Street itself is a short side street rather than a destination, so expect few shops on the block and a short walk to Yonge, Bloor or Church for groceries and coffee. Walk it at night and in the morning to see whether it suits you.

What Tiffany Terrace costs, and what the fee covers

condos.ca puts the building average at about $740 per square foot. That is well below the newer glass towers around Yonge and Bloor, which is the main reason buyers look at older buildings on the side streets: you get the same subway access for a much lower price per foot.

Across the active listings, fees worked out to about $1.17 per square foot. That is higher than in newer towers, but it includes heat, air conditioning and water as well as common elements and insurance. Hydro and parking are not on the inclusion list, so budget for your own electricity and check whether a parking space carries a separate charge.

Next door, Signatures on Bloor runs closer to $1.51 per square foot in fees, but its fee also covers hydro and parking. Neither building is cheap to carry; the right comparison is your total monthly cost in each, including the bills each fee leaves out.

At the time of writing three suites were listed for sale, a one-bedroom in the 500-square-foot range and two larger suites of 800 to 900 square feet, with asking prices from about $479,000 to $700,000. For aggregate recent sales, see my building sold report.

Amenities at Tiffany Terrace

The amenity list is short: a gym, a party room, a meeting room and security staff. In an 85-suite building that is realistic, and with Yorkville and Bloor Street on the doorstep, most residents use the neighbourhood rather than the building for everything else.
