XO Condo is a high-rise condominium at 270 Dufferin Street in South Parkdale, completed by Lifetime Developments and positioned at the corner of King Street West and Dufferin — the meeting point of King West, Liberty Village, and Parkdale. The building is one of the more recognizable additions to this stretch of the King West corridor in the recent development cycle.
Suites at XO run noticeably larger than the King West average, with floor plans extending into the 1,500-plus square foot range and an average bedroom count of 2.5, giving the building a broader end-user appeal than many of the compact tower formats nearby.
XO occupies a corner site at King and Dufferin, where the King streetcar corridor meets one of the most active north-south arterials on the west side of downtown. The building rises above a podium that includes ground-floor retail and engages directly with the King Street pedestrian environment — a deliberate piece of how the project was positioned at launch.
The suite mix at 270 Dufferin runs from roughly 600 to 1,599 square feet, with an average bedroom count of about 2.5 across the building. That positioning is broader than the typical King West tower, with meaningful inventory in genuine two- and three-bedroom layouts at the upper end. Parking availability is moderate, with an average ratio near 0.5 spaces per unit, consistent with a transit-oriented King West building.
Amenities cover a substantial 14-category set, including a fitness centre, concierge, party and meeting rooms, media room, games room, business centre with WiFi, rooftop deck and garden, community BBQs, and bike storage. The package leans toward the work-from-home and social-amenity end of the spectrum rather than the spa-and-pool format, which is consistent with the building's positioning toward a younger professional resident base.
The King and Dufferin corner sits on the 504 King streetcar route, which provides direct east-west reach across downtown into the Financial District without transferring. North-south transit is served by the 29 Dufferin bus, one of the busiest bus routes in the TTC network, connecting north to Bloor and Dufferin Station on Line 2. The nearest subway station is Dufferin Station, roughly a 15-minute walk or short bus ride north.
For groceries, the closest options include Metro at King and Dufferin, with No Frills and Sobeys options along nearby Queen Street and within Liberty Village a short walk south. Dining is one of the strongest features of the location — the King West restaurant strip extends directly east of the building, and the Parkdale dining scene along Queen West to the south covers some of the city's more interesting independent restaurants. Liberty Village immediately south adds a denser cluster of casual restaurants, gyms, and daily-essential retail.
Green space is more accessible here than at deep-core downtown addresses. Stanley Park is a short walk south, Trinity Bellwoods is within walking range to the east, and Lake Ontario's western beaches and the Martin Goodman Trail are accessible via the Dufferin corridor south to the waterfront. For families, the TDSB elementary catchment in the immediate area includes Parkdale Junior and Senior Public School, with Parkdale Collegiate Institute serving the secondary level. Catchment boundaries can shift, so families should confirm the current assignment directly.
The resident profile at XO Condo leans toward younger professionals working in the surrounding King West and Liberty Village employer base, along with a meaningful share of end-user couples and families drawn by the larger two- and three-bedroom layouts. The combination of streetcar access, Liberty Village proximity, and genuine multi-bedroom inventory gives the building broader end-user appeal than many of the compact King West towers.
Investor ownership is present but proportionally smaller than at one-bedroom-dominant downtown buildings — the larger units tend to be owner-occupied while the smaller layouts carry a heavier rental footprint. The 13 active rental listings serve a mix of King West and Liberty Village professionals, creative-sector workers, and corporate tenants.
Sale listings at XO Condo currently average around $945 per square foot, which sits in the middle of the King West and Liberty Village corridor range. Maintenance fees average about $0.82 per square foot, with the range falling roughly between $0.50 and $0.93. That fee figure is moderate by downtown Toronto standards and reasonable for a building with a 14-category amenity load. The combination of mid-corridor $/sqft and moderate maintenance keeps the total monthly carrying number competitive across the suite mix, with the larger units in particular benefiting from the lower per-foot fee compared to amenity-heavy core towers.
Maintenance fees at XO Condo average about $0.82 per square foot, with recent listings ranging from roughly $0.50 to $0.93 per square foot depending on suite size and inclusions. That figure is moderate by downtown Toronto standards and reasonable for a building with a 14-category amenity set. A 900 square foot suite would carry roughly $738 per month in common-element fees at the average rate. Fees typically cover water, heat, and building insurance, with hydro metered separately. The lower per-foot fee benefits the larger suites in particular relative to amenity-heavy core towers.
Pet policies at XO Condo follow standard condo bylaws — most downtown and west-end Toronto buildings permit pets within size and breed limits typical of the city. Specific weight caps, breed restrictions, and rules around elevator and common-element use can change with board updates, so confirm the current declaration and rules with property management or your real estate representative before purchase. Owners with larger dogs in particular should ask explicitly about weight thresholds and any restrictions on common-element use.
Floor plans at XO Condo range from roughly 600 to 1,599 square feet, with an average bedroom count of about 2.5 across the building. The mix runs from one-bedroom-plus-den layouts at the smaller end up through genuine two-bedroom and three-bedroom suites at the upper end, which is broader breadth than at most King West towers of similar vintage. Corner suites typically offer the better exposures across the south-facing Lake Ontario sightlines and the east-facing downtown skyline. Original developer floor plate diagrams remain widely available and worth requesting for any specific suite.
The building carries an active rental market with 13 lease listings on at present and an average rent around $4.00 per square foot. That rent figure is consistent with the King West and Liberty Village corridor range, reflecting tenant demand from the surrounding tech, creative, and downtown employer base. Whether it pencils as an investment depends on the individual purchase price, financing rate, and maintenance fee math relative to expected rent — buyers should run the full carrying-cost calculation before deciding rather than rely on the per-foot rent figure alone.
The TDSB elementary catchment for the 270 Dufferin area includes Parkdale Junior and Senior Public School, with Parkdale Collegiate Institute serving the secondary level. TCDSB options for Catholic students are part of the west-end downtown cluster. Catchment boundaries can shift year to year, so families should verify the current assignment directly with the TDSB or TCDSB. The location offers better proximity to a meaningful number of public and private school options than many of the deeper-core downtown addresses, which factors into the building's broader end-user appeal.
There are 8 active sale listings at XO Condo at present, with asking prices ranging from roughly $429,000 to $1,450,000 depending on suite size, floor, and exposure. The spread reflects the building's broad suite mix — compact one-bedroom layouts at the lower end up through larger three-bedroom suites at the top. Rental inventory sits at 13 active leases. Inventory at buildings of this size moves steadily, so the snapshot will shift as new listings come on through the MLS feed.
XO Condo at 270 Dufferin was developed by Lifetime Developments, one of the more active residential developers in the King West and broader west-end Toronto corridor. The building was completed in the recent development cycle and occupies the corner of King Street West and Dufferin, engaging directly with the King streetcar corridor through its ground-floor retail and podium configuration. For precise completion-date and architect confirmation on any specific suite, the original developer registration documents and property management remain the most reliable reference.
