Minto advertises Westshore “from the $400s” with free underground parking. That is true, and it is also the most expensive square footage in the project. Here is the whole price list, every plan’s cost per square foot, and the four plans I would actually look at.
What the price list actually says
Every builder leads with its smallest home, and that is fair enough. But once you divide price by floor area, the gap here is wide enough to change what you buy. The four small Flats run $779–$848 per square foot. Everything else in the project runs $536–$651. You are paying roughly 40% more per foot for the privilege of a smaller home.
The 1118 Garden Town — 1,118 sq ft, 3 bed, 2+ bath, $599,027. At $536 per square foot it is the cheapest in the project, and it is priced identically to the 1071 Sky Town, which gives you 1,071 sq ft, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Same money, one more bedroom, more than one more bathroom, and a garden instead of stairs.
Median $583 per square foot in the Garden Towns against $611 in the Sky Towns. The rooftop terrace is charged for. If you want outdoor space and do not need it on the roof, the garden units are the cheaper way to buy it.
The 1181 Sky (1,181 sq ft, 3 bed, 3 bath) is $691,947 — that is 104 sq ft more, and a whole extra bathroom, for $8,849 less than the 1077 Sky. And the 530 Flat at $412,615 is bigger and $12,574 cheaper than the 523 Flat. Ask for those two by name.
A three-bedroom here starts at $599,027 (the 1118 Garden) and runs to $751,239. For an Etobicoke three-bedroom with its own door and no condo corridor, that is the number to hold against a resale semi on the same streets — which I will pull for you.
The whole list
Prices and sizes are Minto’s, read 12 October 2026. The last column is the only number I work out myself: price divided by the stated size. The best value in the project is marked.
Single-storey terrace homes. Minto aims these at first-time buyers and downsizers — and this is where the advertised price lives.

Every price above is net of the HST rebate and assumes you qualify. Minto’s own footnote puts it plainly: eligibility is decided by the government, and if you do not qualify, or the rebate is reduced or denied, you are responsible for the full price without it. If you are buying this to rent out, start the conversation there — it is the single biggest number on the page.
Floor plans
Minto publishes a PDF for most of these. Tell me which ones you want and I will send them with my notes on the layout — where the storage actually is, which walls you can move and which you cannot, and what the terrace or garden really gives you.
Before you sign anything
Whether you qualify, and what the price becomes if you do not. For an investor this is the whole decision.
Minto advertises free underground parking “for a limited time”. Which plans, what it is worth, and is it in the agreement.
The brokerage package shows 5% on signing, to 5% in 30 days, 5% at 365 days, 5% on occupancy — 15% in total. Confirm it still stands.
The package says October 2027. Get the date from the agreement, with the delay provisions, not from a brochure.
Stacked towns usually carry a common-element fee. What is the budget, what does it cover, and how is it set?
The package shows a $0 assignment fee. Confirm the clause — consent, timing, and whether marketing is allowed.
Ownership matters most: see freehold vs POTL vs condominium townhouses, and run the rebate yourself in the HST rebate calculator.
Where it is
The site is at Lake Shore Blvd W and Long Branch Ave; the sales centre is a few minutes east at 2847 Lake Shore Blvd W. Long Branch has its own GO station and the 501 streetcar, the lake is a short walk, and it is one of the few places this close to the water where new freehold-style towns are still being built. Open daily 11am–6pm — I will come with you.
No cost, no obligation
Send the plan number, or just the size and budget, and I will come back with the floor plan, what it compares to on resale nearby, and the honest version of the HST question for your situation.
