Bullpen Consulting and Batory Management published their Q4-2019 land insights report for the Greater Toronto Area today. According to the report, there were 36 high-density apartment land transactions in Q4-2019. The average sale price was about $111 per buildable square foot and Bullpen estimates that these future projects -- assuming they go condo -- will sell for just under $1,000 psf on average.
But that's blended across the entire GTA.
Looking at the core of Toronto (former City of Toronto boundaries), the average price per buildable square foot was about $187, which represents a year-over-year increase of 28%. There's also a premium for mid-rise sites. Bullpen pegs the average price of a mid-rise site in the City -- unzoned but with an active development application -- at about $231 pbsf. These numbers will obviously translate into much higher condo/apartment prices.
