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, Jan 20, 2011

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,055 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 141 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,169 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,587 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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 Kingston Rd between West Hill Dr and Orchard Park Dr, 214 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2011 put the average speed at 66 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 80 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,100 vehicles a day. Old Kingston Rd between Manse Rd and Highland Creek Trl measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Nov 2023). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kingston Rd · West Hill Dr – Orchard Park Dr · 214 mJun 2011 · 24 h36,14366 km/h74 km/h80 km/h
Old Kingston Rd · Manse Rd – Highland Creek Trl · 381 mNov 2023 · 3 days5,27245 km/h52 km/h57 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.
