The building

Set in the heart of downtown Toronto's Entertainment District, the address at 28 Widmer Street puts residents within easy reach of the area's theatres, restaurants, cafés, and nightlife.

Rent control

Your rent here is not capped

The rule: Ontario's annual rent increase guideline (2.5% for 2026) does not apply to a unit first lived in after November 15, 2018 (Residential Tenancies Act, s. 6.1). In every building, your landlord must give you 90 days' written notice on the official form and can raise the rent at most once every 12 months. The date that counts is your unit's, so ask the landlord to confirm it before you sign.

Short answer

Getting around

Downtown living here means most daily trips can be made on foot or by transit. The TTC subway, streetcar routes along King, Queen, and Spadina, and Union Station's regional GO and UP Express connections are all close at hand. For drivers, the Gardiner Expressway sits just south of the core, linking to the wider highway network across the Toronto region.

Who built it

Plaza

Plaza is a Toronto-based developer with a long track record of building condominium communities across the city and surrounding region. The company is known for delivering downtown high-rise projects, and Encore Theatre District reflects its continued focus on Toronto's central neighbourhoods.
