About Waterfront

Our Waterfront group covers the towers south of Front Street from Yonge west to Bathurst: South Core around Union Station, the condos along Queens Quay, and the newer buildings near Fort York. Union Station's GO trains, subway and UP Express to Pearson are steps away, and so are Scotiabank Arena, the PATH, Harbourfront Centre and the ferries to the Toronto Islands.

Few parts of the city are easier for a visitor to arrive in, and some of Toronto's most-registered short-term rental buildings are here, including both Ice Condos towers. Rules still differ from building to building, so check yours before you list.

What our data shows

Most short-term rentals registered with the City: Ice Condos at 14 York St (195 units), Ice Condos at 12 York St (146 units) and Maple Leaf Square at 65 Bremner Blvd (81 units).
Long-term leases only: 628 Fleet St, 75 Queens Wharf Rd and 85 Queens Wharf Rd.
Mixed signals, so check first: 16 Yonge St (6 registered units) and 600 Fleet St (5 registered units). A building survey said short-term rentals aren't permitted, yet units there are registered with the City.

Short-Term Friendly (12)

These buildings allow short-term rentals. A unit here could be run as a nightly rental, as a hybrid with monthly stays, or could qualify for Guaranteed Rent.

Long-Term Only (3)

These buildings only allow long-term leases, so short-term and monthly stays aren't an option.

Not Verified Yet (3)

We haven't confirmed these buildings' rules yet. Open a building to request a free check.

Statuses are a starting point, not a guarantee. Your condo's status certificate, declaration and recent board minutes are the source of truth, so confirm them before you list. Don't see your building? Request a free check.
