Buyer pays $97,000 over asking for Queensway townhouse
28 Market Garden Mews, Toronto Asking price: $998,000 (March, 2025) Selling price: $1,095,000 (April, 2025) Previous selling price: $478,000 (March, 2010); $425,000 (May, 2008); $364,017 (October, 2006) Taxes: $4,664 (2024) Days on the market: Seven Listing agents: Ken and Jaime Ramsay, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd. An asking price under $1-million for this three-bedroom townhouse caught the eye of about 20 buyers this April. It was the first home to come up for sale in several months in a small enclave south of The Queensway. Five bids were made, with one narrowly beating out competitors with an offer that added $97,000 to the asking price. 'This complex is one of the only freehold townhouse complexes in the area that doesn't have monthly fees, which was a big draw,' agent Ken Ramsay said. 'And it's at that $1-million threshold, which for a freehold townhouse, is the most affordable complex in Etobicoke that we know of,' co-listing agent Jaime Ramsay said. The nearly 20-year-old property was also in excellent condition, with a new custom kitchen and an updated bathroom. 'The sellers took extremely good care of the house, and did lots of upgrades while they owned it,' Mr. Ramsay said. 'We went in to do some painting and full staging to elevate it even more.' This three-storey townhouse has a street-level entrance and a front deck, as well as a rear deck above a garage that can be accessed through the finished basement. On the main floor, there are open living and dining areas with nine-foot ceilings, and a custom kitchen refashioned with an island, quartz and porcelain tile finishes, stainless-steel appliances and a pantry. The bedrooms are on the floors above, with the largest having a walk-in closet and a private bathroom. 'This complex really attracts people trying to move out of downtown condos and be in a convenient location,' said Ms. Ramsay.

Forum: Queensway is still the sports mall of choice
Like most retailers in Queensway Shopping Centre, our management council members are appalled by the Opinion column 'Queensway could be next casualty in sportwear upheaval' (May 8). The writer concluded that 'there just isn't a special reason to head to Queensway any more'. Queensway Shopping Centre is still the sports mall in Singapore with more attractions on offer. As many as 38 sports retail units are selling various branded sporting goods – Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, New Balance, Puma, Asics, Brooks and more, and offering a wide variety of rackets and racket stringing services. That is why Queensway Shopping Centre is affectionately known as Singapore's sports mall. Sportslink was just one of the many well-known sports tenants in Queensway Shopping Centre. The retail spaces left by it were quickly snapped up by strong sporting and speciality stores. It is incorrect to infer that the shuttering of Sportslink was 'like the death of a queen bee... (calling) into question the survival of the colony of shops'. Queensway Shopping Centre has since become stronger with a greater variety of sporting goods stores. Besides sports enthusiasts, there are various trades attracting customers from all walks of life every day, such as Janggut Katong Laksa and 328 Laksa that dish out delicious laksa daily; Optique Zone & Contact Lens Centre, AZ Optics Centre and many other optical shops that offer competitive optical services; Ultra Supplies and ABC Laser Engraving Service that provide printing and designing services; Queens Printing, 98 Design Embroidery Services and others that cater to the need for T-shirt printing and custom apparel; Honsieponsie, WEARE, Nightingale Thrift Shop and others that are famous thrift stores, and many more.
