Welcome to 197 Roxton Road, a legally established triplex offering a rare combination of income potential, thoughtful design and long-term versatility in one of Toronto's most sought-after west-end neighbourhoods. Legally converted into three residential units in 2010 and comprehensively renovated throughout in 2026, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for investors, co-ownership, multi-generational living, or an owner-occupier looking to offset carrying costs with rental income. Configured as three distinct residential units, each residence benefits from its own kitchen and thoughtfully renewed living space, creating a true multi-unit property with the finish and feel of a newly transformed home. For an investor, the established three-unit configuration offers the ability to generate income across multiple tenancies; for an end user, it provides the flexibility to occupy one residence while renting the others. The property can also adapt over time as ownership, family or investment needs evolve. The comprehensive 2026 renovation adds significant value to the investment. Three new kitchens, new flooring, new lighting, new plumbing fixtures, updated appliances and fresh paint create a cohesive contemporary feel throughout. Warm wood tones, clean architectural lines and textural finishes elevate each unit, while new windows in the living room, family room and kitchen introduce additional natural light into the principal spaces.Investment in the property extends well beyond the interiors. Improvements include a new roof completed in 2024, a new larger-capacity hot water tank in 2026 designed to better accommodate all three residences, additional insulation to many exterior walls, fire-rated doors between units, a new deck and front porch, and in-floor radiant heating in the basement.

Key factors for evaluating this commercial property
Commercial Due Diligence Checklist
· Verify zoning and all permitted uses
· Review all existing leases (terms, renewals, net vs. gross)
· Request estoppel certificates from all tenants
· Order a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
· Commission a property condition assessment
· Review operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance)
Commercial Financing Note
Commercial mortgages require 20–35% down, shorter amortization, and lenders underwrite based on the property's income. CMHC insurance is not available for commercial. Connect with a commercial mortgage broker early.
Commercial and land transactions are significantly more complex than residential. Joe recommends assembling a team — commercial real estate lawyer, accountant, and (for land) a land use planner — before making an offer.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Commercial Pricing Context
At $835/sqft, this is priced in the upper range for GTA commercial — typical for prime locations or newer buildings. Commercial values are highly location- and zoning-dependent, so comparable sales analysis is essential. I'll pull recent commercial comps for you.
Just Listed — Take Your Time
This property just hit the market. Commercial due diligence is thorough and takes time — environmental assessments, lease review, financial statement analysis, and zoning confirmation. Unlike residential, there's rarely a multiple-offer frenzy. Act with focus, not urgency.
Zoning & Permitted Use — Verify First
I always confirm the zoning and permitted uses before a client gets too far into a commercial transaction. What a property is currently used for and what it's legally permitted for are sometimes different. If you plan to change the use, a zoning amendment or minor variance may be required — that's additional cost, time, and risk.
Tenancy & Income Review
If this property has existing tenants, I'd want to review all leases carefully: term lengths, renewal options, rent amounts, escalation clauses, and who's responsible for operating costs (gross lease vs. net lease). A strong long-term tenant is an asset; a lease expiring at closing is a different story. We'll request estoppel certificates from all tenants.
Environmental & Due Diligence
A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment is standard practice for commercial purchases in Ontario. If historical industrial use is flagged, you'll need a Phase 2. I also recommend a property condition assessment covering structure, roof, HVAC, and electrical — commercial systems are expensive to replace and often not disclosed in detail on the listing.
Commercial Financing Realities
Commercial mortgages work differently than residential. Expect 20–35% down, shorter amortization (15–25 years), and lenders who underwrite based on the property's income, not just your personal financials. CMHC insurance is generally not available for commercial, and rates are typically higher. I can connect you with commercial mortgage brokers who specialize in Downtown Toronto transactions.
