Get My Free Estimate →Palais at Port Royal Place, 3 Michael Power Place, is a 30-storey tower of about 261 suites completed in 2012, attributed to Pemberton Group.
It has the amenity package people actually use — indoor pool, sauna, movie theatre, fitness centre, concierge — and a credible ten-minute walk to Islington station. The trap with this building is its name: “Port Royal Place” attaches to at least seven separate addresses on this street, and they are separate condominium corporations. Make sure you know which one you are buying into.
The building itself
Thirty storeys, roughly 261 suites, 2012. Both listing databases agree on those figures, though they draw on the same underlying data, so treat it as one source rather than two.
Pemberton Group is named as developer by both. One of those entries reads like developer marketing copy, and I could not find a Pemberton corporate page confirming it — so it is well-reported rather than independently verified.
Amenities
Concierge, indoor pool, sauna, movie theatre, fitness centre, party room, media room, visitor parking and a parking garage. That is a full package, and in a 261-unit building it is a more comfortable ratio than the same facilities would be in a small mid-rise.
The usual caution applies about which of these belong to this corporation and which are shared across the Michael Power Place community — ask for the shared facilities agreement with the status certificate.
The suite size figure to ignore
One database gives the suite range as 560 to 835 square feet. Two other sources put the top of the range at roughly 1,050 square feet, with one-bedrooms starting around 580.
An 835-foot ceiling in a 261-unit, 30-storey tower is implausible — it would mean the building contains no two-bedroom-plus-den units at all. What that figure almost certainly reflects is the size of units currently listed, not the building. Use roughly 560–1,050 as the working range, and confirm the specific suite.
The naming trap
This is the part I most want you to read carefully, because it is where people make expensive mistakes.
“Port Royal Place” is attached to a run of addresses on Michael Power Place — 5, 7, 9, 11, 15 and 17 all carry Port Royal Place numbering, and 3 is “Palais at Port Royal Place.” Separately, at least one development database lists a project called “Port Royal Place III,” which may or may not correspond to any of them.
These are separate condominium corporations. They have different declarations, different reserve funds, different fee structures, different boards and different repair histories. A friend’s excellent experience at one Port Royal address tells you nothing reliable about the one you are considering.
When you order the status certificate, check that the corporation number on it matches the address on your agreement. It sounds obvious. On a street where six buildings share a name, it is not.
Transit
Sources put Islington station at about ten minutes on foot from 3 Michael Power Place, and describe the building as roughly equidistant from the Gardiner Expressway and Highway 427. That ten-minute figure matches what the same sources publish for 1 Michael Power Place next door, which is a reasonable consistency check.
One database also uses the phrase “steps to the Islington Subway station.” That is listing language, not a measurement, and I would not repeat it.
What I could not verify
- The architect. No source names one.
- The registration date, as opposed to the 2012 completion year.
- The corporation number beyond a reported TSCC 2226 — and note that the two sources publishing it are almost certainly drawing on the same data, so it is one source, not two.
- The current property manager (Del Property Management is named, from that same single source).
- How Palais relates, in phasing terms, to the other Port Royal Place buildings.
- Any published litigation, special assessment or major repair — none found, which is not the same as none existing.
The takeaway
Palais is a solid, amenity-complete 2012 tower with a realistic ten-minute subway walk, in a cluster that has become one of the more liveable pockets of Etobicoke Centre. Two practical instructions: ignore the 835 square foot ceiling you may see published, and confirm the corporation number on your status certificate matches your address, because six buildings on this street share a name and none of them share a reserve fund.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are in Palais at Port Royal Place?
About 261, across 30 storeys, completed in 2012. Both databases reporting this draw on the same underlying data, so treat it as a single source.
Are the Port Royal Place buildings all one condominium corporation?
No. Numbers 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15 and 17 Michael Power Place carry related names but are separate corporations with separate declarations, reserve funds, fees and boards. Always confirm the corporation number on your status certificate matches your address.
What is the real suite size range at 3 Michael Power Place?
Roughly 560 to about 1,050 square feet. Disregard the 560–835 range one database publishes; that almost certainly reflects only currently listed units, not the building.
What amenities does Palais at Port Royal Place have?
Concierge, indoor pool, sauna, movie theatre, fitness centre, party room, media room, visitor parking and a parking garage. Ask which of these belong to this corporation and which are shared across the Michael Power Place community.
How far is 3 Michael Power Place from Islington station?
Sources give roughly a ten-minute walk, consistent with the figure published for 1 Michael Power Place next door. Ignore listing language like “steps to the subway,” which is not a measurement.
Who developed Palais at Port Royal Place?
Pemberton Group is named by both listing databases, though one entry reads as developer marketing copy and I found no Pemberton corporate page confirming it. Well reported, not independently verified.
