2020 Bathurst Street, Suite 206 — The Forest Hill Condo
Some buyer-side wins are quiet. Others deserve to be named for exactly what they were: strategic acquisition work that delivered our buyer meaningfully below asking, in a building that will command a genuinely different market position once the corridor's transit infrastructure comes fully online. This was one of the latter.
Our buyer secured a brand-new, never-lived-in three-bedroom corner suite at The Forest Hill Condo at Bathurst and Eglinton — a building positioned within one of Toronto's most anticipated future transit hubs, with direct subway access being built into the lobby itself. The purchase closed at $1,050,000 against an asking price of $1,399,000. That $349,000 spread wasn't a market accident. It was the result of patience, market intelligence, and the willingness to move decisively when the timing was right.
The property itself is genuinely uncommon inventory. At 1,112 square feet across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this is one of the largest floor plans in the building — a corner suite with south-east exposure, twelve-foot ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that pull light through the unit consistently across the day. The scale alone places this suite in a category rarely available in Toronto's new condo inventory, where two-bedroom configurations under 700 square feet increasingly define the standard build.
Inside, the finishes reflect the price point the building was originally positioned around. A modern kitchen with premium panelled appliances — including a built-in wine fridge, panelled refrigerator, and integrated dishwasher — anchors the open-concept main living volume. Both bathrooms are finished to a considered standard, including a genuinely substantial primary ensuite. The generously proportioned rooms and twelve-foot ceilings distinguish this suite from the compressed floor plates that dominate contemporary construction.
The building is where the long-term investment thesis genuinely takes shape. The Forest Hill Condo sits at Bathurst and Eglinton, positioned at what will become one of Toronto's most significant transit intersections: direct subway access being integrated into the building's lobby via the Eglinton Crosstown LRT's Forest Hill station. For buyers who understand what integrated transit access means for long-term condominium value — the ability to step from your lobby directly into the transit network without crossing a street — this specification is genuinely transformative and largely unprecedented in Toronto residential inventory.
The amenity package reflects the building's positioning. A 24-hour concierge, a comprehensive fitness centre including yoga and CrossFit equipment, an outdoor exercise area with table tennis, an outdoor terrace with cabanas and BBQs, guest suites, and a party and meeting room. Bell internet is included in the maintenance fee, and the underground parking includes EV charging capability — a genuinely valuable specification with a documented $110,000 upgrade value, particularly meaningful as electric vehicle adoption continues to scale. Two lockers complete the storage offering.
The location closes the case. The Forest Hill and Cedarvale neighbourhoods surround the building — Toronto's most established luxury residential pockets, defined by multi-million-dollar detached homes and mature streetscapes. Eglinton Way's boutique retail, dining, and cafe network is within walking distance. Yorkdale Mall, the Allen Expressway, and Highway 401 connectivity add regional reach. Some of the city's most respected public and private schools sit within close range.
For our buyer, this transaction represented exactly the kind of strategic acquisition that patient capital, market intelligence, and disciplined negotiation can produce. Buying meaningfully below asking on brand-new, never-lived-in inventory in a building positioned for major transit infrastructure activation is genuinely the strongest kind of buyer-side outcome — value at purchase, quality of asset, and long-term positioning all captured in a single transaction.
Not every buyer-side deal produces a $349,000 spread. This one did — because our buyer was ready to move when the moment aligned, and because we understood exactly what this building and this floor plan represented in the broader Toronto condominium market. Secured for our buyer, and secured well.
