88 Queen vs. The 9Hundred: Comparing Two Toronto Condos

Two Toronto condos, one shortlist

If you're cross-shopping pre-construction condos in Toronto, 88 Queen and The 9Hundred (also listed as The 9Hundred / 2024) may well end up on the same shortlist. Both are located in Toronto, Ontario, both are condo developments, and both carry an estimated completion year of 2024. Beyond that, the two projects diverge in ways that matter depending on your budget, the unit size you need, and how much weight you put on builder track record. Here's a side-by-side look, using only what's currently published on each listing.

The basics

88 Queen is being developed by St. Thomas Developments Inc. Pricing starts from $600,000, with suites ranging from one to three bedrooms and approximately 514 to 1,096 square feet. Storey count and total unit count are not published for this project, and the listing itself is currently unpublished on LIQWD.

The 9Hundred / 2024 comes from Harhay Developments. Pricing starts from $630,900, with a wider range of configurations: one to three bedroom suites, including den layouts, spanning roughly 435 to 1,344 square feet. Like 88 Queen, storey count and unit count are not published, and the listing is also unpublished at this time.

Both projects share an estimated completion of 2024.

Price entry point

On paper, 88 Queen has the lower starting price, at $600,000 versus $630,900 for The 9Hundred, a difference of $30,900 at the entry level. If your budget ceiling is the deciding factor, that gap is worth noting. But starting price reflects the smallest or most basic unit in each building, not necessarily a like-for-like comparison. A $600,000 entry at 88 Queen doesn't tell you what square footage or floor you're getting for that number, so it's worth requesting the actual price list and floor plans for both before drawing conclusions about value.

Unit sizes and layouts

This is where the two projects look meaningfully different. 88 Queen's suites run from about 514 to 1,096 square feet across one to three bedrooms. The 9Hundred spans a broader range, from approximately 435 to 1,344 square feet, and explicitly includes den layouts alongside straightforward one, two, and three bedroom suites.

If you need a compact starter unit, The 9Hundred's lower end (435 sq ft) is smaller than anything listed at 88 Queen, which could suit a buyer prioritizing price per unit over space. On the upper end, The 9Hundred also tops out larger, at 1,344 sq ft versus 1,096 sq ft at 88 Queen, which may matter for buyers who want a larger three-bedroom or a den for a home office. If your household needs a den specifically, that's a feature currently only confirmed at The 9Hundred.

Builder background

88 Queen is being built by St. Thomas Developments Inc. The 9Hundred is being built by Harhay Developments. Builder reputation, past project delivery, and financial standing are all reasonable things to research independently before committing to a pre-construction purchase, since builder track record affects everything from construction quality to how closely a project sticks to its estimated completion date. Neither project's listing currently includes additional builder detail beyond the company name, so this is an area worth investigating through outside research if it's a priority for you.

Timeline

Both projects list an estimated completion of 2024. Because both listings are currently unpublished, some details that would normally help you gauge how firm that timeline is, such as construction start date, current sales status, or storey count, aren't available yet. If your purchase decision depends on a firm move-in date, it's worth checking directly for updated status on both before proceeding, since "estimated completion" figures in pre-construction can shift.

What's not yet known about either project

For both 88 Queen and The 9Hundred, the following are not currently published:

• Storey count
• Total number of units
• Detailed sales status beyond "unpublished"

If any of these factors are decision points for you, for instance, wanting a lower-rise building or knowing how many units are in the building before it sells out, you'll want to follow up directly for updated information rather than assume either way.

How to think about the trade-off

Neither project is a clear front-runner here. It depends on what you're solving for:

• If entry price is your primary constraint, 88 Queen starts lower, from $600,000 versus $630,900.
• If you need a smaller unit at a lower absolute price, or want a den layout, The 9Hundred's range (435–1,344 sq ft) offers more flexibility at both ends.
• If builder reputation is your deciding factor, compare St. Thomas Developments Inc. and Harhay Developments independently, as that detail isn't part of either published listing.
• If timeline certainty matters most, both currently show the same estimated 2024 completion, so neither has a published edge there.

Given that both listings are currently unpublished, availability and final pricing could change. The most reliable next step is to view the full listing on LIQWD for 88 Queen and for The 9Hundred / 2024, where updated pricing, floor plans, and status will appear as each builder releases more information.
