Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 23, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 549 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 204 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 160 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 148 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On Grenview Blvd N between King Georges Rd and The Kingsway, 245 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2025 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. Varley Lane between Willingdon Blvd and Royal York Rd measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Mar 2007).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grenview Blvd N · King Georges Rd – The Kingsway · 245 m | Mar 2025 · 3 days | 375 | 34 km/h | 42 km/h | 45 km/h |
| Varley Lane · Willingdon Blvd – Royal York Rd · 249 m | Mar 2007 · 2 days | 783 | 30 km/h | 38 km/h | 42 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
