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 — 8-hour, Nov 3, 2016
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,592 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 228 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (30 of 66). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,242 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,263 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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 Beaty Ave between King St W and Lane S of Queen and E of Beaty, 168 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2004 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Queen St W (379 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 3,458 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Beaty Avenue between King St W and Queen St W.

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.
