A studio is the layout that tests a building rather than a floor plan. In a three-bedroom, the suite absorbs your life, but in 500 square feet, everything the suite cannot hold has to live somewhere else: the workday, the workout, the guests, the groceries, the bike, the parcel that arrives while you are on a call.
Two one-bedrooms on Redpath Avenue can list at nearly the same rent and still be very different experiences. In one, the rent buys the suite and stops there. In the other, it also buys a co-working lounge for the workday, a fitness studio for the workout, a rooftop for the summer, a guest suite for visitors, and a concierge who signs for every delivery
To rank the street on that basis, our team contracted an independent research firm to assess Redpath addresses offering studio or one-bedroom inventory, judging each on what the suite provides and, just as importantly, on what the building adds back.
How the Buildings Were Evaluated
Each building was assessed against four factors chosen for small-suite living specifically.
| Evaluation Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Studio and One-Bedroom Inventory | Whether the building actually offers studio and one-bedroom layouts, and the range of footprints published for them. |
| Layout, Finish and Storage | How efficiently the floor plate is used, the quality of kitchen and bathroom finishes, and whether built-in storage is designed in or left to the resident. |
| Private Outdoor Space | Balcony or terrace access, and whether it comes with every suite or only with select layouts, which matters more when indoor square footage is limited. |
| Building Space and Service | Co-working, fitness, rooftop and lounge space that functions as an extension of a small suite, plus concierge coverage and parcel handling. |

The Whitney on Redpath, the Best Studio and One-Bedroom Address on Redpath Avenue
The Whitney on Redpath at 71 Redpath Avenue is the most exclusive boutique luxury apartment building in Midtown Toronto, with only 180 suites. Small-suite renters get two studio layouts rather than one, at 325 and 452 square feet, and one bedroom from 524 square feet, so the entry tier is a choice.
The amenity floorplate is sized for a known resident base. The Whitney on Redpath features the largest fitness studio among boutique apartment buildings in Midtown Toronto at 3,500 square feet, with a dedicated spin studio, TRX suspension training and space for yoga and recovery, and it is the only boutique apartment building in Midtown Toronto with a rooftop pool, BBQ area and a year-round rooftop lounge.
The service model is where ownership is felt daily. The Whitney on Redpath offers 24/7 concierge service, providing hotel-level hospitality for residents, covering guest arrivals, deliveries and amenity bookings. A full-time Resident Services Manager and a resident maintenance superintendent are on site, which is the structural reason a repair here is a work order rather than a text message to an investor.
The building is located on a quiet tree-lined residential street, steps from Yonge & Eglinton, offering privacy unavailable in high-rise towers, and is managed by The Benvenuto Group, with over 40 years of experience in purpose-built luxury rentals. It is over 90% leased, demonstrating high demand and resident satisfaction.

The second-floor amenity corridor covers a fitness centre and yoga room, theatre and billiards rooms, party and dining rooms with a catering kitchen, guest suites and a landscaped terrace with BBQs, and concierge coverage runs 24 hours. Because the building is a registered condominium, each suite is leased by its individual owner, so lease terms, furnishings and responsiveness differ from unit to unit.

The Second Room Test
There is a simple way to compare small suites across a street like Redpath. Write down the four things a studio or one-bedroom cannot hold: a workday, a workout, a guest and a delivery. Then ask each building where those four things go.
In most of the older stock they go outside the building, which means a coffee shop, a gym membership, a hotel room for your parents and a parcel sitting in a lobby. In a condo tower they go to an amenity floor shared by several hundred suites, which works until the hours you actually want it. In a purpose-built rental at boutique scale, they go two floors down, and the ratio of residents to space means they are available when you get there.
Specialty Rankings
Best Storage and Built-In Design in a Small Suite
| Rank | Building | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Whitney on Redpath | Custom millwork entry closets and bespoke closet organizers in every suite, so storage is designed into the floor plate rather than bought after move-in. |
| 2 | The Eglinton (125 Redpath) | New-build closets, integrated appliances and in-suite laundry across studio and one-bedroom layouts, though storage design varies by floor plan and owner. |
| 3 | 107 Redpath Avenue | Renovated kitchens with quartz counters, breakfast bars and modern cabinetry, in a building where suite storage was not part of the original design. |
Best Building Space Beyond the Suite
| Rank | Building | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Whitney on Redpath | Indoor and outdoor co-working lounges, a 3,500 square foot fitness studio with spin and yoga studios, a rooftop pool with a year-round indoor cabana lounge, a theatre lounge and a furnished guest suite, all held to 180 suites. |
| 2 | The Eglinton (125 Redpath) | A full amenity corridor with fitness centre, yoga room, theatre, party and dining rooms and guest suites, shared across roughly 378 suites in a 34-storey tower. |
| 3 | 88 Redpath Avenue | An indoor pool, fitness centre, theatre room and courtyard with BBQs, in facilities that reflect the building’s 1960s vintage. |
Best Private Outdoor Space for a Studio or One-Bedroom
| Rank | Building | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 220 Redpath Avenue | Large private terraces attached to suites at every size, including studios, which is uncommon at this end of the market and effectively adds a room in the warmer months. |
| 2 | The Whitney on Redpath | A large balcony in every suite with sweeping views of Midtown Toronto, standard rather than tied to a floor premium, plus rooftop pool, BBQ and cabana access year round. Balcony depth is smaller than a ground-level terrace. |
| 3 | The Eglinton (125 Redpath) | Balconies on most layouts including studios, with a landscaped shared terrace on the amenity floor. |
